Low nbme score!

[toffenutt]

Hi everyone, can someone please shed light on my dilemma, I have covered FA once, uworld twice, my scores on uworld is in the 70's to 80's, but the problem is when I took the nbme my score was 250! How can I possibly improve my score in a month? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Are you seriously trollin and complaining about a 250? Have to be F@@@ing kidding me.

Smh yeah that's really low. Try playing the dit videos backwards to see where your huge gaps in knowledge are.

A 250 on the NBME practice exams does not equal a 250 on Step 1; it correlates to a much lower score, hence the OPs concern.

Much lower? I was under the impression that an NBME was a pretty good indicator [+ or -5] of how someone will do on Step 1.

That may be the case these days; it didn't used to be true.

Yes and a 250 on the NBME self-assessment is a 163: https://nsas.nbme.org/nsasweb/doc/sample_CBSSA.pdf

No problem. I reread the OP, "my scores on uworld is in the 70's to 80's, but the problem is when I took the nbme my score was 250!" so either he's referring to the CBSSA score, he's trolling, or there is a HUGE disconnect between his USMLE score and USMLEWorld percentages.
