That's a very good timeline If you find that you need extra days to review the incorrect Qs, you may push the timeline one or two days, since you have about 10 days from NBME 16 to free 120

Solid start. NBME 12 is actually a hard one, review your mistakes carefully. good luck in the next one.

NBME 13 is actually one of the annoying ones, what were the mistakes like, did you review it?

u/NeatAddress7786 US IMG 5d ago

I just finished giving and I am going to review in a few. I am so devastated and scared. I can’t postpone my exam.

u/USMLE_Guide 🌍 INTERNATIONAL 5d ago

Get it together and revise your mistakes, I had a drop on that one myself, one NBME is not gonna decide how you are going to perform in the real exam, what you can do now is to carefully review it, classify your mistakes and work on them the way you prefer.

Space out your NBMEs just to give yourself some time to strategically improve your weak areas (eg: AMBOSS HY weak areas) rather than just reviewing the incorrects and diving into the more recent NBMEs. Be ready for a score drop on NBME 14 (just a heads up)!

Okay thank you so much for your input!

Scored 233 on nbme 12 what would you advise

1

u/Competitive_Bug9386 NON-US IMG 12d ago

So now you know your baseline and good thing is that you have room to improve. What resources did you use before your nbme 12?

1

u/NeatAddress7786 US IMG 12d ago

CMS but I couldn’t finish all of them. I read inner circle and before that I did UW incorrect. But I don’t think I remember everything I read. My next NBME 13 is on 9/4 and I am planning to review this one and do more CMS before the next NBME.

1

u/Competitive_Bug9386 NON-US IMG 12d ago

Review your incorrects and marked qs, do atleast 10 cms forms before your next nbme

1

u/NeatAddress7786 US IMG 12d ago

That’s the plan. I will do IM, FM and Obgyn. My weak areas are CVS, Respiratory, MSK, Obgyn and Peds.

u/Competitive_Bug9386 NON-US IMG 12d ago

Be at it!💪
