Hey!

Just took NBME assessement 4 and got a 256 (700). I've been doing UWorld and read Step 2 Secrets. My test is on August 7th, 2010. Should I keep studying or move the test date? Is the NBME a good predictor of the actual score? What would you recommend?

Thanks!

I think you should schedule for today even! Why should you postpone it? NBME are good predictor of the actual exam, according to many threads I have read. I am not sure though if it is enough to take NBME form 4 only, or you should do form 2 as well. I will leave this to the seniors in this forum.

I have a question for you please, have you used any other materials besides step 2 secrets and UW, and how long have you been studying for?

I wish you luck in the exam and high 99.

i'd move it up if i were you, seems like ur ready now. no need to waste time ya kno? good luck 👍
 
I've been using the 2010 edition. And that's the thing, I've only read the Secrets once and have been doing UWorld for no more than a week. Maybe it helps that my last clerkship was Internal Medicine and I took the shelf 2 weeks ago. Guess I'll study for one more week take the NBME 2 and depending on that move the test.

Thanks guys!
