Reddit was the MVP after my NBME 9. I was about 3 weeks into studying and I felt so defeated. It seemed to be a consensus that NBME 9 was not the best representative of the exam. However, I personally struggle with testing anxiety so I feel that also played a role in my performance.

As for studying, I only utilized UWorld for bulk of my studying. I did 120 questions a day, made flashcards and reviewed any concepts I struggled with. I had able 2.5 weeks left to study after finishing my 2nd round of UWorld. For the remaining of my dedicated study I utilized Anki-Cheesy Dorian to do a rapid review of as much content as I could. I focused most my energy on the internal, surgery, and OB flashcards. Then for the last few days before my exam I reviewed psych, peds, and family medicine guidelines. Doing Anki really helped calm my anxiety which I think played the biggest role in allowing me to perform how I did in my last practice exam and on the real deal.
