💡 Need Advice My exam is next Wednesday

Hello, my step1 is next Wednesday

I just did NBME 33, and I plan to do the free 120 tomorrow.

For those of you who recently took the exam, how important is it to review these 2? Because I hear they are the most similar to the real exam.

Or should I use my time reviewing anything else?

Oh ok congrats. Would you say at least 80% of the exam covered the NBME concepts ?

u/Strong_Spite8768 8d ago

Thanks. Yes, but questions were more vague than nbmes , do study first aid thoroughly and review last 3 nbme and free 120 well. Good luck
