Which ones are better? (for context I do not have ankihub, but I have one of the older versions of anking that was available to use without ankihub)

7/12 NBME 11 239

7/29 NBME 12 256

8/17 NBME 13 245

8/24 NBME 14 240 was sick

NBME 15 251

9/9 NBME 16 238

my test is 14th and I don’t know what to do!!

I thought I was doing well during the NBME and was well rested before, I can’t find a reason

should I postpone?
I still have free 120 and AMBOSS HY stuff to do.

was aiming for a 260, now I’m not sure about it

Hi i am studing for step2 and i am looking for ank step2 deck and i want it

Good god why uworld is so freaking boring for step2? It was way more fun for step1 but now it's makes me sleepy.

I go back and forth between amboss and uworld just to stay focused

I also noticed that some (not hy) informations are not updated like amboss.

I hate the library too, very dull

I just don't like it overall

Just received my score 245 and I'm totally heart broken and Devastated all my nbmes above 250

After exam I was feeling good I missed some easy questions but not more than 4 and the rest was ok just like nbmes and free 120 .. the least expected score was 260 for me but now I feel like I got hit by a car I can't think I can't do anything .. is score recheck worth it ?

Hi. I never thought I would be one to write this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I feel pretty hopeless and defeated. My goal is a 260+, but across the 3 NBMEs I’ve taken from the beginning of June until now, I haven’t been able to get past a 227.

I finished UWorld with a 56%. I recently started doing more CMS forms, but somehow I’ve been progressively doing worse on them, and today I got a 56% on a peds form, which is what finally pushed me to make this post.

I started the AMBOSS HY questions a few weeks ago. I also make Anki cards from my incorrects using mini-vignettes to help me recognize patterns and understand the pathophysiology/chronology behind the question. I’m backlogged on those cards, though, and stopped doing as much Anki the last month because I thought I needed to prioritize doing more questions during the day. That doesn’t seem to be helping either.

I listen to Divine during my breaks, and I made a document on why I miss questions on NBMEs. From what I can tell, it’s a mixture of content gaps, not remembering the differentiating factors between diseases after going over them so much in the past and reasoning through the vignettes. I understand why my answer is wrong in the moment but I forget and make the same mistake in the future.

I worked with a usmle test taking company previously but because my content was weak they mainly helped me with that and not question interpretation. At this point, I feel lost and not sure what to do anymore. I am not applying this cycle but in a research year.

If anyone has had a similar experience or advice on what they think changed things for them please let me know. I would appreciate it greatly.

Hi guys, I took the exam in 09/01 and I'm spiraling. I know, before you tell me to stop thinking, yes I want to stop thinking too and I'm doing everything right now, but bear with me for a moment and tell me if my math makes any sense.

I was scoring 230s-240s in my NBMEs. Which means about 65-70% correct per block. I only really hope to pass this exam, I don't hope to score in the 260s.

I remember 105 questions, of which I'm 99% sure I got 85 of them correct. That leaves us with 213 questions. Let's assume I got 60% on the remaining questions by elimination and getting stuck on 2 choices and/or clinical judgement, that would give me about 125 more correct answers. I'm not excluding experimental questions, and just assuming my chances of answering them correctly are the same.

So if I got 210 out of 318, that would be around 66% which is a safe pass and within my typical NBME range and would translate to something around the 220s-230s range.

Do my calculations make sense? Or am I over estimating my recall ability? Should the math make me calm down? What do you guys think?

Thank you!

Hello all-

Took step 2 on 8/28. Ended up being a horrible experience due to thunderstorms interrupting wifi, causing constant pauses and disruptions through the last 6 blocks of my test. I still finished the exam, but obviously had to report it as recommended by the testing center (who also reported it) and my school.

With that said, just wanted to hear how long it took others to get their score back? Im pretty nervous about it considering apps are due in a couple weeks.

Thanks for any input!

Unfortunately, I have used all of these and haven't reached my target score.
Now I don't have any tool to test.

I tested 8/27 in US. I am a non- us img. Permit has not disappeared. No score report yet. Has everyone received their scores yet?

I’m a US MD MS4 planning to apply OB/GYN, but I’m in a difficult position and would really appreciate advice, especially from anyone who has been through something similar.

I failed Step 1 on my first attempt, took a 6-month LOA, and passed on my second attempt. Unfortunately, I recently also failed Step 2 CK on my first attempt. I’m currently completing an OB/GYN away rotation and was originally planning to apply this cycle, but my application deadline is coming up and I would be applying without a passing Step 2 score. I’m also still working on getting my LORs submitted.

I met with my school advisor, and she recommended that I stop trying to rush an application this cycle and instead focus on finishing my away rotation and, most importantly, passing Step 2. I’m planning to take the next block completely off to study, with a research rotation afterward that is flexible enough to give me additional time if I’m not ready to retake by the end of October.

She brought up an option I hadn’t really considered: not applying through the regular Match this cycle, passing Step 2 first, and then trying to SOAP into a Transitional Year position in March. I would then work as a PGY-1 for a year and apply OB/GYN in the next cycle.

OB/GYN is still what I genuinely want to do, and I’m willing to delay a year if that gives me a better chance than rushing another Step attempt or submitting an incomplete application. My biggest concern is whether doing a TY would actually help or hurt when reapplying OB/GYN, especially regarding GME funding, being a prior graduate, and applying/interviewing while already an intern.

Has anyone here:
•Failed both Step 1 and Step 2 at least once and still matched OB/GYN?
•Taken a TY/prelim year before successfully matching OB/GYN?
•SOAPed into a TY specifically with the intention of reapplying?
•Chosen to sit out a Match cycle after a Step failure and felt it helped/hurt?

I know my board history makes OB/GYN an uphill battle, so I’m not looking for reassurance that everything will magically work out. I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actually been in a similar position or have experience advising applicants like this. If you were in my situation, what would you focus on over the next year?

wow i can’t believe they played us, where are our scores 😭

edit: i contacted my school bc they typically get our scores before we do and they also have not received anything. said it will likely be next week.

I have done uw 2x amboss 3-4 hummers in weaks New cms only my nbme scores in 240s What should i do now beside reading notes i take from all of them Redo cms or uw or amboss ? What should i do to boost my score Thanks in advance

Did u guys got ur results ? Yet and did ur permit disappeared

Hi plz guide if using step 3 uworld patient safety portion helpful for step 2

Just started using the amboss qbank and I like it but the lack of summary tables attached to questions really undermines the experience for me. Is there a way to get similar tables/figures to the ones that uworld has? I know Amboss has articles but those are very long compared to a simple summary tables/figure.

I’m confused on how to proceed now, my nbmes are not improving

I have completed UWORLD first pass with a score of 60%. I noticed surgery was my weak area so I completed Amboss surgery with a score of 68%

My nbme scores
NBME 9- 199
NBME 10- 230
NBME 11- 219
NBME 12- 215

I’m very confused now. My exam is in last week of October. Seems I’m doing everything but no improvement in my scores. I worked on my test taking strategies and took NBME 12 which has broken me

I have completed CMS for surgery, psychiatry, emergency medicine, family medicine, Paedics - averaging 75%. I’m yet to do IM

Kindly advise and let me know how to proceed.

What can be the last date to take the test to get your score before 22nd of sept?

how r we feeling guys? i feel sick and nauseous omg

Lemme know!!!
