So I have 9 days till my exam, what should I do to improve my score in these last few days? I've been doing almost exclusively FA and UW up till this point and haven't taken any NBMEs, though I don't think NBMEs would help me much at this point anyways.
First off, it's an absolute must to finish FA and uworld. Uworld did have info not in FA that showed up on my exam. Even some of the pharm, it was an antimicrobial drug that if you did not know anything outside of FA, you could not get it right by intuition. Finish FA and Uworld, then proceed to what I say below if you choose to take my advice.
I think you should at least take 2 nbmes. My usmle score was the exact average of the 5 nbmes I took. They're extra questions and they kinda represent how you can get questions right based on intuition as on the real deal. 2 nbmes shouldn't hurt you- take the last 2. I had a question from nbme 15 exactly on my exam that I would not have otherwise got right if I didn't take the exam.
Otherwise, I think pholston (and many others' plan) of doing the Intro sections of FA + pharm at the end of every pathophys section + embryo is an excellent plan of making sure u dont forget the minutae that more often presents itself in these chapters rather than higher level thinking. pholston does not specifically address hitting behavorial + immuno + pathology, I didn't have time to do all these. I very quickly hit some problem areas in those extra sections there and it got me a few questions right on the real deal. I think if you can do these sections + at least 2 nbmes, then honestly go over whatever you see fit.
I also hit up the anatomy section in FA + kaplan anatomy q (got me a couple q) in the final week. I think doing an anatomy book for where you're at would be tremendously low yield as there's just too much. If you feel really comfortable, I guess you can hit up some pictures but I doubt that'll really increase your score too much. For neuroanatomy, you can quickly go through the pics in this book- if you're strong on this topic, then you can get all you need in 1 run the day before your exam. It really depends on what exam you get on whether you feel this helped you after your exam or not. Also, it depends on your strength right now in these subjects AND your intuition. Honestly, a lot of people complain about the anatomy questions but even my friend had a test heavy in anatomy and we went through some of the Q's he got after we both took it on the same day, and you could get the questions right if you just thought it through logically and not get flustered. Like if it asks for what's a muscle that can be cut out and grafted elsewhere for surgery (just made this up, don't know if this is possible, don't know the answer), don't pick the biceps, but do pick something like the palmaris longus. Idk that much about anatomy but just try to calm down and put a best guess if you get flustered on a question they present to you. If you still cannot get it by telling yourself "what can I know as a 2nd year that isn't minutae" then once again try to throw a best guess down and don't waste your time- because you might use it on a question later that you will get right.
Besides the advice above, just free lance after you complete the above, or use a plan that someone else posts here or make something your own lol. For me, I did get a couple q's right on my last day of studying so I was happy i crammed all the way to the end, but if you could finish all you want to do (easier said than done) with a day to spare before your exam, do some light studying then chill the rest of the day. This DOES make a difference even on the subconscious level, a day of break of thinking for your brain does wonders in terms of calming down, integrating info, NOT THINKING TOO HARD, using intuition instead of trying to find the most perfect answer (often times there won't be)- especially when the information for your exam is so vast (not liek a unit exam in year 1 and 2).
BTW: I believe all you need to do well is FA + uworld + nbmes (+studying for year 1 and 2 althugh hard to quantitate this). So don't feel bad that you don't have a gazillion sources. I also used goljian audio and pathoma, but these are not necessary (but very helpful). If you want to free lance on these 2 topics when you've hit the stuff I said above then you can do goljian audio in like 2 days and pathoma in 2 days if you're that fast, but you probably won't be. You can pick 1 or the other. If you want a free source go for goljian audio. They're both good, and they probably both won't make a huge difference this close to your exam.
I could try to offer more suggestions if you give us where your baseline score is right now, and what sections you need more help on, and what sections you're great on.
P.S. We're all gonna make it
Cheers to 2013 
Concern yourself less with others
