🚨 Now Sh*t Is Getting Real

• I had just finished UWorld...
• But the fear started hitting.
• I was honestly scared of getting into the NBMEs.
• I wanted to avoid them completely.

😬 What I Did Instead (and Regret)

• I didn’t even attempt CMS forms.
• That was a mistake.
• Instead:
  • I did AMBOSS fully.
  • Reviewed some of my UWorld mistakes.
• Why?
  • I think a lot of us fear that "exam is getting close" feeling.
  • So we distract ourselves with stuff like:
    • “Maybe I’ll just review more.”
    • “I need more time before assessments.”
• But honestly, I wish I saved that time.
  • I should have started CMS forms earlier.
  • Taken an NBME to test myself.
  • Then used AMBOSS only if my score was low.

🤷‍♂️ You Live, You Learn

• I won’t say AMBOSS was useless — it had value.
• But doing it fully was a waste of precious assessment time.
• I should’ve stuck with just the high-yield study plans.

✅ What You Should Do Instead

• Start CMS forms early.
  • They’re around 48 forms total.
  • Even the old ones are worth doing for question exposure.
  • Aim for 1–2 forms per day.
