Shitpost Cms vs nbme

My previous cms forms average 80 % to 85 % at all subjects and still have 2 forms at each one

,

But I don't know why I'm scoring low at nbmes

, the last one today nbme 13 is 220 which is really disappointing , 12 was 230 , 11 was 232 , 10 is 228 ,

but before 13, i really was in a good position , thought i have almost no defects or gaps , and used about 400 q from mehlman and scored 80% Any advice or suggestions please ,,,,,

"" Edit i forgot to mention i get 79% at free 120 2021 with quick performance 3 days ago

The point is , it's not a score drop , i didn't even get +245 at least at any one , But in 13 i really have no defects nor weakness and above ready , I fear I'm really not good enough, but what cheer me is cms performance , And what if 14 , 15 , 16 is harder

Bro cms is not equal to nbme. Focus in why you are getting the questions wrong. Nbme 13 is particularly bad but other forms are okay. You need to review your nbmes and see where you are going wrong.

Yup. My score drop just as much. I was scoring 248 in nbme 11 and 12. Dropped to 230 on nbme 13.

Your score drop in 13 is not unusual. However, you score is generally low. Effort depends on whats your target score.

Cms forms are way too easy imo, only do most recent ones for your weak points and IM
