NOT TO MENTION THAT I was GOOGLING/YOUTUBING all the time during my prep.lol :DĪdvice: Before your exam do 2 NBMEs or UWSA 1 and 2 in a row in one day to practice endurance, because in my experience fatigue almost killed my concentration in 6th/7th block. In last 2 months I did assessment NBMEs (was doing it at every one week interval, in btw interval I was doing FA + my notes, read relevant topics from resources I mentioned in part#1, did kaplan Qbank questions and also BRS Qs (questions given in the back of each chapter and at the end of book) so one week before exam I was done with all the NBMEs. Note: I used NBME 1-11 for learning, practice and analysis. It is after this NBME that i was able to push my scores beyond 180/200. For me NBME 12 was an eye opener, it really fine tuned my Q approach and provided guidance on what areas to work on.

Opinion: In my view NBME 12, 16 & 18 were closest to my exam (real exam was a beast but that doesn't mean its not doable). So if used properly NBMES can be a learning tool aswell as an assessment tool. By this type of analytics you get general idea of predicting different ways a concept can be tested.Īdvice: Please start doing NBME early in your prep, all the NBMEs asess your baseline knowledge in different ways. I started them right after after 1 month of starting UW & FA (first I needed to figure out what topics were being tested and to what extent, then I focused on HOW CONCEPTS were tested rather than what concepts were being tested. UW with FA and audio/video stuff took 4 months. Kaplan pharmacology lectures I watched in x1.5 speed ) Parallel with UW and FA (It didn't take long, since DIT videos were short and oriented to FA. Meanwhile, I was also using DIT, FA, Goljan audio lectures and NBMEsĪccording to systems (first did all the questions of particular system followed by explanations with read of relevant topics in FA, I never read FA cover to cover but with this strategy I was going through the same topic many times.Īdvice: Make seperate notes of UW acc to systems rather than annotating it on FA, clean FA really helped me in the end.
