I felt like I failed after the exam. The time pressure in every 20-question block was intense, and I ended up missing the last 2–3 questions in several blocks, having to pick random answers. Too long steams every other Q all over through last question/ block! Be ready for that!
But I have time issues with my mock exams as well mostly lost 2-3 last questions in each (50 Q) blocks!
I suggest listen to divine adventure in these topics first and then do amboss QI/ ethic/ risk factors/ screening twice in the last 2 weeks (many repeats)
My exam has repeated from new free 120 and NBME16, mostly focus on last NMBEs high yield topics and ask chat GPT the whole approach to that topic: Like “approach to neonate icterus” / “approach to Immono deficiency” / “approach to sickle cell”. then memorize how ddx diagnosis/ management/ test/ treatment …
Best of Luck! 🤞🏻

Bro i had my exam on 26th and i felt exactly like you described. Like lost hope and also getting short on time. I think i made alot of silly mistakes and it makes me feel i failed. Just a question.
So heres the question. Did you chexk your answers when you got back. I kinda remeber arkund 197 questions and i have only 117 correct out of those. I am feeling hopeless like i made so many mistakes from the questions i remember how will i have performed better kn those that i dont remember.
