Exam Date: May 11th (next Monday)

I took the New Free 120 yesterday (May 7th) and got a 63%, which has me pretty nervous right now.

I experienced a bit of a shock with the new format and had unexpectedly poor time management. I really struggled during blocks 2 and 3 (scoring 45% and 55% respectively, and leaving 6 questions unanswered due to a lack of time). The rest of the blocks were pretty solid (68–75%).

Full disclosure: I took the assessment under less-than-ideal conditions. I started at 5:30 PM after studying non-stop since 9:00 AM (reviewing ~140 NBME incorrect screenshots on Anki and heavily dissecting/DDx-ing another 100 cards). I was definitely exhausted before I even started the first block.

Given my previous self-assessment results (attached), am I ready for Monday? Has anyone experienced a similar drop from fatigue or timing issues this close to the real deal?

Any advice is hugely appreciated!
