I took my first test during spring break in March.

This is likely what I will do as well. We have our first COMSAE right after spring break so it'll be good to get a practice NBME in before that. And I'll still have 3 months until my exam so I'll have time to improve if I'm not where I want to be.

Hi everybody! Does anyone know how to convert an offline nbme 16 score to the 3 digit score? thanks

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker, first time post. Took the exam last Friday and agree w/ what most everyone is saying. The new NBMEs will get you 1-2 points from repeats, but overall the exam most closely resembles Uworld. My NBMEs were in the 245-255 range (did all new and old forms starting w/ 13). My UWSA2 three days out was a 262. Overall, felt like 5 Uworld blocks and 2 NBME/WTF/Uworld blocks sprinkled in. Planning on a full write up once I get my score. Just wanted to do a quick write up for anyone else taking the exam soon who wanted an idea of what to expect. Obviously, everyones test is different and the only real way to be ready is to make sure your test taking skills are on-point come game day b/c once you break the 250 mark on practice tests then it knowledge really isn't the issue imo.

Would you be willing to PM me about your experience with Dr. USMLE? Thanks.
