So my USMLE world % is about 50%, but that takes into account a seriuos learning curve at the beginning. My NBME 1 was only a 183🙁Not sure where to go from here, which other ones to buy, etc etc. Thoughts?

If your more recent blocks are higher, that's a good thing. If you've studied a lot since that first NBME, why not take another one? I've done 1, 4, and 6, and unlike some others I didn't think they had any hugely different feel to them, and they are all statistically adjusted for difficulty in their scoring.

well it is my only nbme and I have been studying for a month

Rg-

keep your head up and dont let that one form get in your head. Your mental status will affect you more than anything else.

If you want to learn and reassess a bit, maybe buy one of the uworld online diagnositics? IF not, just keep plugging away and learning alot until test day. READ Goljan's highyield 100page doc., bone up on pharm, and memorize the crap out of FA at this point.

thank you for the moral support!!! I did take a usmle world right at the start and I have improved. I think it is the little details so that's my new goal. And my comlex scores are actually pretty good so at worst I'll just lean on them more. Thankyou!!!!!

I take my test in two weeks. Was planning on doing the Free 150 today but I am tired. I do not want to take the free 150 any later than today b/c I don't want my score to affect my mental status. Take the test today or not is the question? Or should I just keep plugging at it and hope for the best on test day?

Tired-
it seems you are tired a lot given your SDN name and post today. Make sure you are excercising, it will give you energy. Eat well too!

I am no expert, have not taken the test yet but what I would suggest is...
1. dont take it today if you are tired.
2. Take it in the next few days. It is free and will get you thinking like testday. 2 weeks out is not tommorrow so take it soon, and if you dont do great, keep studying, that is all we can do...

hang in there folks
