Sounds great!

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. Actually it was not an ideal day with a couple of fire alarms in the building but I am not sure if that was the only reason. As you said, I won’t rely on this too much and will take form 17 next week and see how that one goes.

Thanks so much for your kind message. Hard to know, but sometimes people for whatever reason have a drop in their score just because they have a bad day. I’d take at least another NBME before your exam, and if you’re scoring in the range you’re hoping, I’d take your test. Again, without seeing the questions themselves with you, it’s hard to know why you might be missing them, but I wouldn’t read too much into a single exam.

Hi, I have got no word to thank you enough for such a wonderful blog.
I got your Step 1 and 2 Anki cards a couple of month ago and was using them until recently. My current issue is regarding NBME results that freaked me out and I have neither a clear explanation for it nor a solution. I took my 1st NBME (13) 2 weeks ago and got 251 then a week later I took NBME 15 and got 258. Today, I got 247 for NBME 16. I really am freaked out for 11 score decline in a week. (considering the fact you mentioned above about the results of NBME 16 should be generally higher). I tried to associate it to whatever I could but have no idea what is going on as nothing has changed. During the past 2 weeks I was taking UW test mixed, timed (half of the questions I was taking were for 2nd time). My exam date is October 5th and with this results I think I am pursuing a wrong strategy. I can guess how busy you are but I would really appreciate it if you could let me have your comments regarding this frustrating issue.
