My exam is in 2 weeks and I feel like my scores are overestimating and might be due to flukes and maybe I am not actually ready.
My NBMEs in order i took:-
NBME 27 65%
NBME 28 72%
NBME 31 71%
NBME 30 75%
NBME 32 75%
The anxiety is sky rocketing as the exam day is getting closer. Help/Advice ?
My Step 1 exam is on June 18 and my anxiety is through the roof.
My NBME scores in order:
NBME 27: 65%
NBME 28: 72%
NBME 31: 71%
NBME 30: 75%
NBME 32: 75%
The scores seem reassuring, but I still don’t feel confident. A lot of the time on NBMEs I don’t actually know the exact diagnosis being tested. I often arrive at the answer by eliminating wrong choices rather than recognizing the correct one directly.
I also don’t feel like I have a strong grip on First Aid and sometimes feel like there are major knowledge gaps. Because of that, I’m worried my NBME scores might be overestimating my readiness.
Has anyone else felt this way despite passing-range NBME scores? Were you able to pass Step 1, and what did you focus on during the last 2 weeks?
