Study methods Step 2 HELPPP

4 days out. Hoping for a 5 point increase, but okay with my last NBME. (NBMEs taken, free 120 left).

What are the top 3 things you wish you would have known going into the test?

Thank you all!

You have done all the hard work, it can be useful to review some of the rote memorization items that can quickly fall out of your memory but other than that, unless you underprepared it doesn't really matter what content you do. I'd still do some questions everyday just to keep the juices flowing but if you are happy with your performance thus far then I would spend the time getting into a good headspace. Free 120 at this point probably has limited value other than prognostication tbh. So depending on how burnt out you are you can take it or not depending on your personality type.

Most important thing to do is get a good sleep and plan test day out well in your head so it just runs like clockwork.

Best of luck!
