No way, man. I want this thing over with.

I would take it tomorrow if I could. I had an entire residency to prepare and now I am just trying to hold on until my test date.

I would literally take it at a moment notice to be done with it.
No way delaying till December.

Unless you did bad in your ITEs and would benefit from the extended study time.

63% precentile last ITE, yet I feel dumb while studying.

There's no way to know everything, the topic is too broad. And our BC exam is the only one (FM too) that covers topics in other specialties. (I wonder if Derm residents have questions about HF on their board exams?!) Just do what you can. I think a >60% on ITE is a good position. <50% maybe not.

Considering that most people pass 63% percentile isn't that bad. That's 70s% percent right?

Feeling worried at any percent or percentile is natural.

75% percent.

75% percent.

You should be fine.

Take your third year ITE and that will literally be your percentile on your board exam.
So if you're <50%, think about delaying your exam and study hard.

Dear God no I want this to be over with. 8/17!

In the same about with around 70 percentile on ITE and 67% percent correct on my 3rd year IM ITE. Want to get this done with! Is there a thread for this years discussion for ABIM board review?
I'm just doing MKSAP 18 (1200 questions) hopefully almost 1.5-2x through and board basics. Some people really recommend doing a 2nd Qbank (Uworld would be for me) but just can't get myself to do it!

It's right here. No need for a new thread every year. I bet if you go back to the first page of this thread, the advice is going to be more or less the same.

Why isn't this thread appearing in the sub-forum above? Can someone place it there?

Never mind it's there. it was minimized on my browser.
