USMLE: The NBME and UWSA order - When to take each practice test
With so many NBMEs out for Step 1, finding the correct order can be very confusing. However, whilst preparing for your USMLE, an acceptable NBME order is crucial for your preparation. Although there is no set order in which one must write their NBMEs, after asking many people and doing my research, I've created an order that may assist you in your preparation for USMLE Step 1. If you have any order that you think may help, or would like to provide any input, please leave it in the comment section down below. Thank you!
Disclaimer: NBME 13, 15, 16, 17 and 19 are no longer on the nbme website. You may need to find the offline versions and correlate the number of incorrects with reddit forums to find your score!

      Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet", you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.

  • @clee888
    @clee888 Před rokem

    So you during the first round do you do ALL the questions in Uworld in its entirety and annotate? So at 80q's per day, that should take 4 weeks... for each round...if there is around 3200 questions. When annotating do you write down all the things you didn't know in the explanation or just focus on what you got wrong? and then for the 2nd round you completely avoid any annotation but make flashcards...did i understand that correctly? Can I apply this strategy for step 2?
