UWSA1 and Nbme score difference (SCORE LISTING)

5/28/2013 6:49:03 PM
Hey guys, i plan on writing my usmle step 1 on June 15th, here are my scores so far

Jan 20th- nbme 6 (231)
April 15th- Prometric School NBME 98%
April 20th- Nbme 7 (257)
May 14th- UWSA1 (264)
May 20th- Nbme 11 (245) I don't understand this drop?!?!? I also didnt have a single borderline subject on the extended feedback. Everything was above borderline! I wasnt touching the right side for path and general principles.

I plan to get above 260
Anyone know if nbme 11 is just hard? i am currently doing uworld 2nd run and averaging 92% with 35% remaining(scored 80% first run system timed)
I am also currently doing DIT.

do you find DIT helpful.

yes NBME 11 is weird. take NBME 15 with feedback and see how you do. give or take 6 points. when your scores are higher it's usually give so if you get a 256 on NBME 15..you'll probably get a 262 on your real exam get it?

i would say the real exam is close to NBME 7 and 15..with a lil 12 thrown in there. you'll be fine. just make sure you go thru first aid rapidly for 3 days prior to your exam so June 12,13,14 you should go thru first aid about 3x. FAST! just to see "buzz words" and "rate limiting steps" etc...

You got 17 days don't worry about anything you'll get your 260+ for sure.
