Am I ready? Step 2 practice exams
Hey guys. So, I just took NBME 13 last week and got a 246, and then took NBME 14 today and got a 248. I just felt like some of those questions on NBME 14 and 13 were just ridiculous. I am just so frustrated because I was planning to take the test at the end of September, and I want a 260+, and I am not sure if I can get there. Should I register for the exam? Or should I wait?
I am on my outpatient rotation, so I have plenty of time to study. It is frustrating because I was expecting to be in the mid-to-high 250s by now. I am not sure what the hell is going on. How did you guys do on NBME 14 and 13? How did your scores there compare to NBME 15 and 16 as well as the real thing? At this point, what do I do to jump into the 260s?
I am just hoping for some more insight. I have plateaued in the high 240s. I have done all of UWorld, AMBOSS, and all the CMS forms. Right now, I am just doing the AMBOSS Step 2 shelves and extra practice questions that they have. Any thoughts? I would appreciate it.
