INBDE 5/14, 5/16

I’m the guy who had personal issues and pretty much only had 2 weeks to prepare for the exam for graduation.

Just finished day 2 and I thought the overall difficulty was pretty hard - plenty of low-yield topics/path (like Polycythemia Vera) were tested and I flagged around 30-40% in each section.

Breakdown:
Day 1:
Section 1: moderate
Section 2: difficult
Section 3: don’t remember, probably difficult
Section 4: easy

Day 2:
Section 1: difficult
Section 2: moderate

Has anyone else taken the exam this past week? What did you all think - I’m spiraling a little bit from how that went. Now all I can do is pray for 4 weeks.

Edit more info: finished all Bootcamp Qs, did Bootcamp and Booster practice exam (scores border-high/63-72), and all 24 Booster case based Qs in 2 weeks, read over Booster notes and Bootcamp cheat sheets for some, Booster cheat sheets for some

Exam in 2 days - what to do

Hey everyone, I am a graduating US dental student that had a lot of personal issues for the year.

Unfortunately, due to a whole host of issues(personal, family), I started studying in early May. I have put in 10-12 hours every day for 10 days now but I averaged only a 63% on the Bootcamp exam (2x low, 2x borderline, 1 high, 1 very high).

My exam is scheduled in 2 days, and I was wondering if this was enough or if I should try to get a few more days. I cannot delay for much longer due to degree conferral and I am extremely nervous. Is there any advice or any last-minute studying tips to pass the exam? I have went through 2500/2600 questions twice but I still feel underprepared. I have been reviewing notes and cheat sheets in my spare time as well.
