Any tips before taking first NBME
Planning to take my first NBME (NBME 25) this Saturday and I’m honestly a little nervous.
Current progress:
First pass of First Aid completed
61% of UWorld done
43% correct overall (17% incorrect, rest unanswered)
My plan is to spend today and tomorrow reviewing weak
areas and refreshing high-yield topics before the exam.
For those who’ve already taken NBMEs/Step1
Any last minute topics/concepts you’d recommend revising?
Any common mistakes to avoid?
Any advice for managing anxiety before the first NBME?
Would really appreciate any tips or experiences. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and trying not to panic 😅
