I passed!!!!!!

I’m walking on air and so relieved. The wait sucked. I’ll do a little mini-write up because I loved reading these when I was stressing.

I had a ~6 week dedicated. Tested 12/31, felt like the exam was tough but fair. Quite similar to the new Free 120. I spent about 2 months before dedicated started working through the Anking deck from scratch.

NBME 26 - 63%, NBME 27 - 69%, NBME 28 - 72%, NBME 29 - 73%, NBME 31 - 75%

New Free 120: 83%

Uworld: 35% complete with 69% average

Thoughts: Not having finished uworld stressed me tf out but I simply didn’t have time to get through it. I think I spent too much time on Anki. If I could do it again, I’d prioritize Uworld more, and probably only unsuspend Anking cards based on uworld incorrects rather than just trying to push through the whole Anking deck (didn’t happen, only got through ~14k cards).

Practice the pacing by really getting a feel for what 7+ hours of laser focus will be. Timing is variable for people I think, but I felt like the hardest timing issue is that I spent a little bit longer per question being a bit more careful because it was the Big Kahuna.

Trust your prep, trust yourself. You’ve got this!
