Need Urgent Help

Quick story: I have 6 days until I have to take a comprehensive NBME Basic sciences exam now that classes are over. I can recognize stuff in Physio, Path, Biochem, Immuno (except pharm), Neuro, and Behavioral sciences, but there's nothing concrete in my head (I.e. Not alot of memorized). I have absolutely no knowledge (forgotten all of) of Pharm, Anatomy/Embryo and Micro (Sketchy doesnt help me memorise stuff). I just need to pass (I.e. 192). Any suggestions how I can do that? Also, if I were to study the educational objectives of 3 different Qbanks, would that suffice?

Backstory: These last few weeks of class have been devoted to Biostats and Behavioural stuff/Ethics, so I wasnt able to study for the Comprehensive exam.

If any of you guys want to criticize me for not preparing well, I 100% deserve it, I just ask you withhold your judgement and criticism of me until after I finish the exam at 1pm on Dec 13th.
Thanks

I would go through all of the videos in Boards and Beyond. As many as you can. You should be able to pass with that, considering your foundation is okay to begin with

6 days is not enough but you probably know more than you think you do.
I would spend these days memorizing FirstAid at this point...maybe hit uworld on weak areas.

Simple: go to the nbme website and find a practice exam you can take that correlates with whatever your school uses. Take it. See where you stand. If you comfortably pass, you can relax. Otherwise, you can get a score report showing your strengths and weaknesses. Use these rather than your perception to guide your study.

If you have a lot of weaknesses, look up the question distribution for subject matter. I don’t know if the nbme has this info readily available, but I know the usmle does, so use step one as a guide since they cover similar info. Use this to help prioritize. If both embryo and pharm are actually weak, but 15% of the questions cover pharm and 5% cover embryo, well I think you which to spend more time on.

But take a test first and assess your actual standing.

Do this. Just hit up first aid. You can do that in 6 days for the basic science **** if you work your ass off. I don't think you have enough time to be messing around with questions or practice tests.

Just plot your day between FA (use audio series) and get through as much as possible and do UWorld (as much as possible)

Ditto all the good advice above, but be sure to focus more on your weakest areas. You should know what you're strongest in.
