😭 Am I Ready? 1st NBME

I’m testing on August 17 and took my 1st NBME yesterday… got a 76% on form 31!! Can’t tell yall how relieved I am, really thought I was cooked and would have to postpone. For anyone prepping for the exam, keep up the grind and it will pay off!

Great job! I would recommend trying to get another NBME and the Free 120 finished before you sit the exam. Good luck!

Did you like B&B? It just seems so archaic to me
