Stressing out about exam in 3 days
I have my exam in 3 days, and I am so scared. I delayed my exam from my original date because I had a sudden drop in my 120.
NBME 28 - 65
NBME 32 - 69
NBME 33 - 69
NBME 31 - 70
Free 120 - 60
NBME 30 (This Monday) - 72
After really thinking about my Free 120, I realize my issue was “locking in answers” before taking in the entire vignette. I was also thrown off by how the vignettes were longer and more similar to UWorld than the NBMEs
I tried to change my mindset with this on my last practice exam and UWorld this week by being intentional with the pieces I highlight from the question, but I’m so paranoid…
I’ve started review blocks/topics via First Aid I haven’t seen in a few weeks on UWorld or my NBME, and it doesn’t help that I keep seeing new content that I haven’t seen at all.
I wanted to finish my studying with the 100 concepts anatomy, high yield arrows, a look at Pathoma 1-3, a quick review of micro/ADRs/Drug MOAs, some ethics/charting questions on AMBOSS, and a final review of my NBMEs
But I think I’m gonna leave it at micro/drugs and a review of my NBMEs and rest up half of tomorrow and Monday because I’m so tired and I know I’m gonna get even more burned out if I push this back any more.
Does that sound okay?
