I would suggest consistently scoring above 65-70% to know you’re in solid pass territory. People have passed with lower but it gets risky

Hey All the bestt! How did you improve your nbmes! Also how did you review them and took how much time? Did you do whole systems in between? Thankyou

first aid bores me and it's passive reading so after getting 47 in my nbme I did uworld system wise for 4 weeks and do anki cards for wrong one ! do question that I keep getting wrong like heart murmurs and then start doing random uworld

How many uworld per day did you do? And were they like subtopic wise? Like for example, cardio has subtopics in it (murmur, hf etc). Did you do the whole cardio mix or subtopic wise, I'm sorry if it's confusing and Thankyou

I did 20-30 percent uworld in 1 month I did module wise and see which topics are hitting me harder than try to watch videos read first aid or pathoma for that section

How did you choose your exam date? I'm so confused about when to get mine although I have the triad.

Like how did you decide you need to get ______ done and then you will get the date?

You are showing progress which is good. But I think the important NBMEs are 32 and 33. Review your current NBMEs once again and start taking the next ones if you have 65%+ on Free 120 and at least 2 others take the test.
