So Im scheduled for Aug 18.
I dont know how these guys blow these NBMEs out of the water with scores like 650/265+.
I took UWSA1 last week, which was promising. I took NBME 4 (expanded feedback) today. I must admit I had trouble keeping pace with the exam. I had to re-read a few stems b/c I was just like wtf are they talkin bout..
Anyways It predicted a whopping low of 360/197. I would pass the exam by just 1 point per the NBME... However when I reviewed their esteemed feedback with all those stupid bars. I noticed that out 184 questions total, I got 51 wrong. And they happened to be simple ones about behavioral/psych and others that I didnt pick up on some clues.
Please bear with me, and yes I know I suck at math.
That means on average, I got 33/46 (72%) right on each block. To adjust for the actual ck exam of 44 questions per block, that's equivalent of getting 31/44 questions right? Now for some perspective if you get 30 right on each block on average, x8 blocks= 240...
A score which Id be very happy with.
So if 33/46 got me 360, does that mean the super geniuses on SDN only get 1 or 2 questions wrong per block? Even if I was
that smart, I'd get more wrong just out of sheer boredom of reading some of these drawn out question stems.
To be honest, I'm at a point where I'm just sick of this ****. I know I won't fail, so whatever these UWSAs or NBMEs say, its goin down on August 18th.
@sosarah I was supposed to take it on July 19 as well
, but my NBME 1 score scared the ****s out of me.
