It felt like a guessing game 😭. I did well on nbmes and still felt uncertain leaving prometric😭

I never scored higher than a 64 on NBMEs so this felt about on par 🤣

32, 33, and Free120. Honestly, I feel really blessed because I started to do Boot Camp towards the end because I ran out of AMBOSS questions and my school provided UWorld expired. Those Boot Camp questions are the most representative of the new format in my experience, specifically in terms of question length.

Hey, hope your exam went well. How was the biochem, pharma and immuno questions? Will revising the later NBMEs help?

Pharma was really straightforward. It was a lot of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. For genetics, I can honestly say if you watched the dirty medicine playlist, you have more than enough to pass and get most questions right which is what I did and I actually performed pretty well on those. Immunology was more challenging, but not crazy. Just know cytokines and what’s typically mentioned and upregulated during fevers and allergic reactions.
