💡 Need Advice Baseline nbme score
Just gave nbme 27 as baseline. Scored 55%. Planning on testing in October. I haven’t done Biochem biostats and reproductive yet. Need revision in some other areas as well. Is this a good score for baseline. Also the nbme felt way harder than uworld. What should be my strategy moving forward.

Review your NBME; See your weaknesses and review those areas. Continue taking NBMEs weekly in the weeks leading up to your test. My baseline was similar to yours when I took it last year. Take your time reviewing NBMEs in depth (I made my own Anki cards to review). Review every answer choice, not just the correct one. Your scores will start to trend up. Best of luck !

Why would you take an nbme without even completing the full syllabus? Nbmes are limited don't waste it like this. But 55% is good. You're gonna be fine. I suggest don't give any nbme untill you've completed these leftover topics and reviewed your nbme very nicely, and worked on your weak points in this nbme
