In this clip I respond to a student's question about whether it's normal to feel like one did poorly on the USMLE (and even failed it), even though his or her NBME exams may have been decent prior.

Mike you described it very accurately. It is completely normal, especially if it's your first USMLE exam. I was overthinking and crying constantly because I thought I failed and those long hours were in vain. The best advice I can give is to focus on a hobby or get a job and work as much as possible, time will pass by and you'll keep your mind busy till you get the results.

I did not watch the video yet but I want to thank you for sharing your experience, because only people with high scores share their experiences making failing sounds impossible whereas failing it’s possible especially in hard exams like steps
Thank you so much for this video wish a good luck in the next exam

Is there something that gives one the skills to solve questions more quickly My problem is not information but time to solve the question

[@keronblair9407]

Great video. I've asked this question before but didn't get a solid answer but what basic sciences should we focus on for step 2 CK.

Do you know how to calculate your score on a CBSE? I dont think its i clear math equation. For example, if you get 100 out of 200 do you get 50% or is a weird formula?

[@Mehlmanmedical]

Generally want to see 2/3 correct to pass

[@qaishamarsha8186]

My lowest nbme score was 247(12) and the best was 264(14). Yesterday was my exam and i feel like shit 💩. I feel like i scored low 240s tbh or even lower!
I didn’t have the same level of confidence i had solving nbmes during the actual exam and found out that i depended on my gut feeling in so many questions. Now i am just freaking out 😂

[@qaishamarsha8186]

Score turned out to be 262 . Just trust ur practice scores 🎉

[@champion8433]

​@@qaishamarsha8186Yo I took my exam today..I feel like shit as if i guessed everything...my nbme were in the 90-95% and free 120s in 95-98%. I'm starting to doubt nbme predictions

[@qaishamarsha8186]

@@champion8433 you got this! your self assessments are incredible. you will have a great score.
