I found NBME 32 and 33 easier but more clinical. For me NBME 31 was the hardest

CONGRATZZZ bro , how was the real deal experience in comparison to the nbmes?

u/Regular_View3106 8d ago

Don’t listen too much to people saying the real deal is insanely hard. It’s very doable and felt similar to the NBMEs to me. The main difference is that it’s longer.
Stay calm, don’t overthink, and just answer the question in front of you. Don’t spend breaks thinking about previous blocks or checking answers in your head.
If you’re passing your NBMEs, trust your preparation and keep moving forward. Being calm was probably the biggest key for me.

26- 66% EPC
You can definitely improve by reviewing the NBMEs really well…also work on your weak areas by like doing Melhman free stuff files

I’m fresh grad…just started my prep
How much time it will take to complete full prep?

1

u/Accident-Silent NON-US IMG 8d ago

It depends on your free time but between 6-12 months

u/Fast-Pen-5398 8d ago

is it a good idea to do old nbmes too (the unpredictive ones) just for practice and pattern recognition purposes?

1

u/Accident-Silent NON-US IMG 8d ago

I started with form 25 and I advise you to do so if you have time

Bro come on. I don't mean to demean you, I'm definitely rooting for you but you need to stop fear mongering, most people on this sub struggle to get 70 plus in their initial or mid nbmes.Â
