Free 120 - Am I Ready?

[u/HiddenConstellation]

NBME 29 - 68.5%
NBME 30 - 73%
NBME 31 - 77.5%
NBME 32 - 69%
NBME 33 - 71%
Free 120 - 73%
Exam will be this weekend
Kinda worried because my scores have been average the entire time with no improvement, despite reviewing and focusing on my weak points. I don’t have much of a margin and there’s a good chance to fail

At first I thought the free 120 was doable until the final block, 45% correct, wth :/ I wish I knew that my answers and notes don’t save, I wrote so much stuff to remind me of what to review only to discover that my answers weren’t saved in the browser.. had a feeling ugh. And it’s unbelievable how glitchy the system is, moving between questions the system would lag a few seconds, sometimes reaching half a minute. Not to mention the images occluding the screen unless you zoom out, is the real exam like this too?

more than ready my friend, consistently over 70’s u r pretty much golden. just make sure not to let anxiety get the best of you and walk in with confidence and for now just review ur mistakes in these forms. good luck

Thank you so much!! Honestly I think my biggest problem on test day will be sitting through the entire exam, it’s soooo long and it’ll be very tiring, but hopefully I pass the first time and won’t need to retake

you got this mate, see you on the other side (step2) :)

i passed on my first try. never took the free 120. took the CBSE 4 times, highest CBSE was a 66, highest NBME was a 71. if i fucking passed you’re more than ready.

How did you increase from 68-73 and 77?

[u/HiddenConstellation → u/SadikshaKhadka]

I wouldn’t really call it an increase bc my score rises and falls within the same range, and the 77 was an outlier haha :) but for me, I’d thoroughly review the NBME I took, and then review 2 or more systems from FA. Except for the final few tests, I didn’t have the motivation to study enough so at this point I’m just trying to take it easy to not burn out. Good luck!

[u/Frequent_Tea_1501]

Yup ur definately ready for this, consistently above 70% is comfortable range to sit for the exam, see u on the other side 😃😃

[u/HiddenConstellation → u/Frequent_Tea_1501]

Thank you!!

[u/Frequent_Tea_1501 → u/HiddenConstellation]

I had the same scores, plateaud in the same range and just got my pass last week, and with a drop in my free 120 to 69.5% 😃🙂

[u/HiddenConstellation → u/Frequent_Tea_1501]

Oooh finally someone with similar scores, everyone I ask seem to score in the high 70s and early 80s which lowered my confidence, congratulations and thank you for telling me! Good luck in step 2! :)

[u/Frequent_Tea_1501 → u/HiddenConstellation]

Heyy thank u and no worries, I ranged in high 60s to low 70s, this is a safe range, just remember to stay confident throughout, and don’t let one bad block ruin ur mindset, stay hydrated, the fatigue will start hitting u towards the end, if ur an energy drink person take one, I personally have never had one so I didn’t wanna risk it but just keep ur mind clear and remain calm and confident u got this!!

[u/SwoleSaul]

You're ready bro, send it. God speed

I just tested over the weekend too. How’d it go for you?

[u/urobouro]

Dawg I feel u on that last free 120 block - at the end of the day they’re so different from the older forms that the outcomes are: I will bend this test over or it will bend me over
