hello everyone,
well i got my score today - 95, 228
thank god.
well i studied like 6 to 7 mnts. used kaplan books, golgan audio and first aid. i did 1 mnt of usmle world with ave. score of 78.
took the usmle cd practice test with 93
nbme 1 and 2 - 92 both times.
the exam was very hard with alot of pathology i never saw before.
alot of respiratory physiology
1 embryology question
very few anatomy
few biochm
like 4 calculation which i most likely got wrong
not alot of graphs or pics.
few behav.
few pharm
just mostly pathology.
i guessed alot if not most of the questions , after i felt i got alot wrong, but didnt feel too bad.
overall i was telling myself i wanted to get like 96, i studied hard, all the pathways in biochm but got none on the exam...
well now to prepare for step 2, good luck to everyone.

Feels great huh?

Congratulations from me. So I have to study 6-7 months but at least I will get good score. Did you join Kaplan or you just bought the books from stores and studied. I will need help in the preparation.

Just wondering. Which school are you from?

also passed. 230/96

wow that was quick! 20 days...

congratulations y'all

well i am from guyana , south america.
honestly i think i only started to study and actually remember stuff after i did the usmle world questions which was like 2 mnts before the exam. all the time before i was reading but not remembering anything so usmle world really helped me to get down and remember the stuff.
even 1 week before the exam i felt like i didnt know anything so i did my nbme 2 and got 92, but still felt like i didnt know anything , maybe that is normal. i really wish i had done 2 mnts of usmle world but i started it late. but guess 1 mnt was enough, thank god it really helped me to understand how to answer questions.
thanks for the good words............
