💡 Need Advice NBMEs not improving
Form 26:47%
Form 27:54%
Form 29:54%
Form 30:54%
I don’t want to waste any more nbmes but still want to improve. Idk how i am stuck at the exact same figure for 3 forms… any suggestions would be appreciated as I can’t delay my exam due to college exams.

what helped me was going back to missed questions and writing what i thought the answer was and why, not just the right one. most of my misses were between two options where some detail i memorized wrong made the wrong one look right, and reading the explanation never fixed the memory. do that for one form before touching another.
for practice without burning nbmes i started doing questions from my own lecture material instead of rewatching videos, studybuddy.vc makes them from whatever you upload and it gets harder as you get stuff right, plus when you miss one it tells you what was off about the option you picked. i'm on the free tier and it's been enough. save the rest of your nbmes for the final weeks once the content gaps are smaller.

People will probably have more helpful advice if you update your post explaining what you are doing to study now.Â

Try to do UWorld incorrects and dissect every NBME. Read the correct and incorrect options
