Hey!
First of all this is a great score! Resp.+ BS are your weakest areas, think what are your weak point within those subjects? Then I would read these parts in FA+notes and focus again on UW questions to test your knowledge and read the explanations. Since you have a week left, focus a max. on FA even for the other subjects. I am sure u will reach your goal! Best of luck!

Hey Glomerulus,

Thanks for the reply. I'm working on behavioral right now. Watching Kaplan videos and then doing Conrad Fisher's 100 cases. I'm hoping that'll be enough because I don't really have more time to spend of Behavioral. About respiratory, on the last two NBMEs I took, I got a star for repiratory on both of them, so IDK what happened this time around. I looked at the questions from feedback and I just found them to be way harder. Hopefully I'll be able to strengthen those subjects. I suck at anatomy so am going to be go through some CT scans and brain slices today. Hopefully that will help. I cant believe I'm taking it so soon... yikes. So nervous.

Hey Zohaib,

Thank you! Good luck to you too :-)

I am sure u will do perfectly fine! I mean the fluctuation in the resp. part shows that the NBME is just an exercise tool! You shouldn't panic just because of that. You've studied hard and long enough for this exam, why shouldn't it work out? Stay positive and calm, I wish u best of luck for your exam! And then enjoy the freedom

Hey im not yet ready for my exsm. But i hav take 2nbmes. M i got star only in CNS! So considering u got it in rest. Y not cns the subject i find easiest of all. Do Kaplan neuroanatomy. Excellent n suffiecnt. Esp the brainstem and spinal cord chapter. Learn all ur cross swctions by heart. Draw then till u memorize. Do all the gross neuroanat. Whih nerves cums frm where. its easy n intersting. Should aid u in getting those 5points. Goodluckk
