hey reminemi
I've been following your (blog on and off).. my journey have been almost same as you. i also started studying around the time you first made this blog. my progress is very similar to yours.
i wanted to know if you took any NBMEs yet? and what were your scores if you dont mind answering.
good luck and thank you.
Hey fever101,
I am in a similar situation as you and reminemi. Started long time ago, had to slow down b/c of family etc.. Long story.
But I am now on track since probably October and my first Nbme (11) was 510 so around 230. Want more as I am an oldie. So trying to squeeze all the juices out of me and let's see if I can do some progress in 5 weeks.
How about your scores?
hey kcbutterfly
i took nbme 11 mid last year. failed badly. (i dont even want to tell you the score) that was right after finishing my first read of kaplan books.
it was so bad that i didnt want to start uworld with my weak base. so i got Rx qbank and started reading FA with it. then took NBME 12 when i was done with uworld and my first read of FA. unfortunately i didnt pass that either but scored 179.
my base wasnt strong yet. but i still got uworld. my first block i got 40%. depressing... but then score improved slowly as i started memorizing FA and adding my notes in it. im still not done with uworld the first time. have about 8% of questions left. and now my score is mostly in the high 50s and some times in the 60s. i wanna take another NBME right after im done with uworld and see how much i have improved. i have to take the exam at the end of march.
any advise on how to improve the score in case i flunk my NBME again?
Did second block of biochem today. Scored 68%.

@fever .. No I haven't taken any nbme yet . I promised myself to complete my uw in Feb-March and then take nbme by March end . So approx 6 weeks to go for my first nbme .
Let's stay updated and work for it.
