Got my score this week as well. Fell short of my goal but am relieved because I came out of it
feeling like I screwed up hard. Didn’t sleep well the night before, psyched myself out on an early
experimental q, was overall a mess and cried in my car afterwards. Because of all the mistakes I
higher score with my level of preparation and knowledge base, if only I could’ve pulled myself
together. Propranolol for CK for sure…
My school advisor almost scoffed when I said I wanted 250. Here are my practice and real scores.
NBMEs were taken about a week apart. I hope it helps someone.
School CBSE 170
NBME 12 before dedicated 184
NBME 15 215
NBME 13 209
NBME 16 221
NBME 18 209
NBME 17 244
Frankly I was ready to test on the day I took NBME 17, so the week leading up to my actual exam
date gave me a lot of anxiety and probably did more harm than good. I felt like I stopped studying
productively and started to forget more than I could retain.
Step 1 247
My advice? Trust your gut. Mark the answer. Never look back.
