Thanks to my family - supporting; caring; filling my life with joy.
Exam on Oct 25 th. Can't say anything, just forgot all, feeling was like did good, but the same time was afraid if missed something. Lots of neuro, pharmacodynamics.

3) last 3 months - UW (average 63); FA FA and FA...
NBME 3 (6 months back) - 400
NMBE 6 (3 months back) - 390 - did after whole day of reading; the result really pushed me and gave significance of good rest
NBME 1;2;5 (offline) about 75-80%
UWSA 1-550; 2 - 530
NBME 7 - 470
NBME 12 - 540
NBME 11 - 530
Official 150 - after first block program crushed, got 85 in first block, tried paper versions from previous years - seemed all the same (many repeated questions)

That's all...
