popped the NBME cherry

so i did NBME 2 this morning.

i was sickened at how vague and annoying many questions were, and with my feeling of being unprepared for some of the detailed questions i know i knew the answer to only a month ago. nonetheless, i did better than i thought i would. i got a 540 (228).

at this point in my studying, i have done about 1,000 Rx, ~350 robbins Q's, and some other Q's i can't remember. i have 19 days left of studying and plan on using this time to complete UW and go through FA, and do NBME 3 5 days out. my goal is a 230.

any suggestions on how i can make the best of my time? are my plans a good idea?

i guess i just want someone to help me feel good about where i am at this point, 'cause the NBME just leaves me feeling, well, uneasy . . .

someone? anyone?

"rx" = USMLERx, so yeah, the first aid Q's. it isn't bad.
