Depressed & Ashamed at my UWSaI performance today - tomstong

My exam is next week thursday. I took UW Sa1 this morning after the first block. It was very simple but I knew more than 40 out of the 48 q but my pricision in picking the right answer is poor. I am postponing my exam.
I have passed an NBME previously and even did well on practice exam at the prometric center. I guess i need more time of constant repeatition of the facts to increase accuracy. I know myself. I could easily bottomout or easily score a 260 on this test, it all depend on my knowledge base and my level of confidence! So i am going back to work!

I agree tomstrong- Confidence is key. If that is lacking, half the battle is lost:-(
If you feel postponing works for you go for it. I have realized that by constant repetition, it forces one's brain to retain information more effectively, especially at the time of picking the right answer.
Good luck!
