4 weeks out and feel completely lost
Hi everyone, I’m about 4 weeks away from my exam and honestly… I feel completely lost right now.
I’ve done NBME 11–15, UWSA1, and a good number of CMS forms.
The weird thing is - my CMS scores are actually not bad at all:
IM: ~82–84%
OBGYN: ~84–88%
Psych: ~82%
Peds: ~78%
etc.
So I thought I was on the right track.
But every time I take a full-length practice exam, my scores are just… terrible.
I started taking them in early March, about one per week, and my scores have been:
220
233
232
238
236
233
I’m basically stuck in the 230s and not improving at all.
I genuinely feel like I’ve lost direction.
I’m doing Anki every day, and whenever I identify weak areas from NBMEs, I go HARD on them. I’m also mixing in Amboss and CMS between practice exams.
But nothing seems to push my score up.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
I feel like I don’t even know what I should be doing differently at this point… and postponing isn’t really an option for me.
At first I was aiming for 260+, but now honestly I’d be beyond happy with a 250.
Would really appreciate any advice — seriously, anything helps. 🙏
