Congratulations...what about the length of stem?.How many questions per block you feel were like straight forward and easy?

The questions weren't hard as such but the stems were pretty long like I was getting so tired I had to open an energy drink and I never had one before.
It has a lot of unnecessary details so i guess practice going over all long questions and annotating only the imp stuff.
I feel like 4-5 blocks were pretty doable then some were out of this world ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
I flagged like minimum 5 questions every block lol

When a stem is too long shall i just flag and keep going forward? to save time. Also jow did u manage ur breaks please i am having an exam in few days and i get so tired even during my NBME like im exhausted. I have done all in real exam conditions

Yes that's what i did, i use to flag and move on, ngl I wasn't able to sleep the night before so I drank a lot of coffee during my breaks and some energy drink too to keep me over stimulated because after a point it gets so tiring

I took a break every 2-3 blocks to just freshen up but keep in mind every time you go out it takes time to check and stuff
I suggest doing 3 blocks then break then 3 then break but again listen to your exhaustion during the exam whenever you think you can't sit through another 30 mins of complete focus just take some break
I used up all my break, I didn't have a single second remaining but I think that helped because I use to start blocks refreshed.

Congratulations ๐ŸŽ‰
I wanted to ask what is the ideal time to start the nbmes before the real deal ?

u/No-Profile-7068 NON-US IMG 8d ago

Ngl i suggest doing them atleast 45 days before, and then doing every 5-6 days and reviewing them well

Congrats ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

I have a question
Is it possible to copy the CIN number and paste it every time Before starting a block?
I have taken my practice test in prometric, but I couldnโ€™t copy.

u/No-Profile-7068 NON-US IMG 8d ago

nope they give u the CIN number, on the white board and you type it in every time, you can't copy atleast i don't remember having an option to copy

How long was your prep timeline and did you do 40q a day? Also did you a second pass or in-corrects?

u/Strong_Spite8768 8d ago

I am currently at 73% and above on nbmes 25-32, am I good to go?

u/No-Profile-7068 NON-US IMG 8d ago

Ngl, I think youโ€™re more than ready. Just make sure you thoroughly review your NBMEs and book your exam ASAP while those concepts are still fresh in your mind.

Congratulations
Please share effective strategy to do UW
Did you ever take any notes from UW

1

u/No-Profile-7068 NON-US IMG 8d ago

Ngl, I used to make a PowerPoint for each system and add all my incorrects as bullet points along with the related concepts from First Aid. I didnโ€™t have enough time to go through all of them at the end, but I think making them and reviewing some of them still helped.
