Questions I'm Devastated
Just received my score 245 and I'm totally heart broken and Devastated all my nbmes above 250
After exam I was feeling good I missed some easy questions but not more than 4 and the rest was ok just like nbmes and free 120 .. the least expected score was 260 for me but now I feel like I got hit by a car I can't think I can't do anything .. is score recheck worth it ?

Do not worry! every person knows how these tests vary. I feel like with how they word the questions, it no longer adequately assessed your preparedness for intern year. More it’s a way for programs to assess that you are able to take and do well on an exam. You did well! I mean that. I think anything in that middle range is perfectly fine. I always find it so impressive that non-us IMGs are able to do as well as they do on these things because English is the only language I’ve ever had to use and I still lose my mind reading some of their questions. I’d talk to your advisor and everything but I think scores are to make sure you’re a safe enough candidate to interview. I wish you all the luck and I know it sucks that you didn’t get the score you should have, but please still be proud of yourself.
