ITS OVER!!!
I just got back from my 7 day cruise to find that dreaded envolope surrounded by what seemed junk mail. I tore it opened and there it was....DAMN!!! Missed it by 1 point! That hurts.
Ive posted pretty long posts a while back regarding exam experience and several 'topics' that i think are important to cover. They changed their format/questions/content on my test and didnt really know how it would affect score.
If you have any questions email me and i will try my best to help you in any which way i can.

I start clinicals in Providence H (michigan) July 5, so gimme a couple days to get back to you after i settle into clinical mode.
For those who wish to compare scores:
nbme 1st test 3 weeks before test 610
nbme 2nd test 2 days before test 660
qbank avg 85% toward the end - didnt finish 50% (I think the questions SUCKED)
Blacwell online simulated 78%
BSS avg from early studying 66-90%
Rapid review series 70-90%, Path RR - 90+
didnt take kaplan simulated
nbme cd 44/46/46
step 2 nbme cd ( i did them for Dx practice and they did help a bit) 34/46 (1st block), 38/46 second block, FRED step 2 39/46 (1st)
Step 3 nbme cd avg 1st block around 55%
Hope this helps.
