what can I say about my experience. I studied basically 5-7 months (there was break between first review and second review). I did kaplan in one month did not finish it. average was 54%. Uworld first review average was 60% and with second time around: 82%
and my nbme-s far less then what I got in the exam.
one thing i did NBME 4: got 195/80 (?) but my test scores are not comparative because maybe all of them i did my son interrupting thousand times (have 5 year old).
exam was like Uworld and I thought tests were not as long people say on this forum. some of them were long because of labs they give. I thought was not anything new: internal medicine most of them, peds were heavily tested, had ob-gyn questions (few fetal monitoring tracings)... stats and epi was almost negligable.
basically i really thought exam was fair. though some of the questions were vague (you know the answer and don't really understand what they are asking about or which part).

congrats ketevan...how many days before ck did u take nbme4?
how u improved ur studies after that...
i got 73/180 on uwsa today...very depressed...exam next month end...pls tell me what shud i do?
my earlier post i am posting here
Got 180 3 digit on uwsa...it equals 73 on 2-digit scale....i had got 153 on nbme 2 abt months ago...what shud i do? exam next month...job +family responsibility is killing me...to many distractions to study....
i hade passed cs and step1 with mid 80s.old graduation above 10 yrs...
i am slow reader...done only around 700 uw qs...still to do around 1400 uw qs...intense family pressure not to postpone next month exam...
if i pass ck just by 75, it will be a disaster for getting residency due to old graduation and need for visa...
Then i will have to leave residency dream forever...
But my instincts telling me to go ahead as i am too much stress on family due to usmle exams...

congrats KEtevan- you did grt; kindly plz lemme know how to extract /determine the 2 digit score from the nbme. also what is the cutoff on the nbme exam to indicate passing on the ck; rather indicating its safe to take the exam, for example, if one gets a 202 or 189 or 204/210, are these scores a good iindication to take the ck to pass it. thanx and gl in the future.
