hi doc03. i am doing UW also. im planning to take nbme also. i just want to know how are you doing with UW? coz at first, i got 52-58% rating for my exams, but as I proceed to my exams, my scores were getting lower and lower... i'm quite worried abt it... and if you plan to take nbme, can you pls tell me how to get it... coz i cant seem to find the nbme4 or 5 or 6 that they are saying in this forum. tnx

@shalom thanks!

@tutubi : i m getting 50-55% ,doing by subjects..n mine too vary a lot,sometimes i score good n other times horrible

I am scared to touch nbme yet,so once i finish UWqbank,i 'll take those exams.I too dont ve 4,5,6..would be nice if some1 could help us find those.

@doc03 - some says they do nbme 1,2,3 offline. with this, i became totally confused bec i thought you need to purchase nbme online. does it mean somebody can have a copy of this? do you have one? if yes, would you be kind enough to send me those copies? tnx. i have some copies of practice exams too but its an old edition of qbanks, etc. if you are interested you can email me @ [email protected]
btw, i read that you are looking for the score estimator in other threads. hope this one would help. i found it also in other threads that i read.
