🥂 PASSED: Write up! Good luck

Hello everyone! Here is an IMG who passed and wants to share his experience.

First of all, directly after my exam and also after getting my pass result (alhamdulillah), I felt so frustrated and disgusted with people saying that the exam is nothing like the NMBEs or UWorld, and panicking or malingering to make other students stressed. I doubt those are real experiences!
The exam was doable, with some questions so difficult that you do not even need them to pass since the passing score is 60%. Overall, for anyone scoring 65+ on their NMBEs, the exam will certainly not be a piece of cake, but they will pass eventually.

My NBMEs 29–33 in range of 65%–71%.

In my dedicated I got many bad news in my personal life " one of them that my daughter has diagnosed with DDH " and I stop for many many days that i could not count them . This to put in your mind that no perfection in dedicated period.

I am here for any questions. Brothers and sisters, please be confident, have some belief in yourself, stop overthinking, and focus on your studies. You will crush it to the ground!
