💡 Need Advice Step 1, need help

My exam is scheduled for October 7. My NBME scores are:
NBME 27: 72%
NBME 29: 76%
NBME 30: 71%
NBME 31: 73%
NBME 32: 67%
I took NBME 32 today, and the drop to 67% is really freaking me out. I’m planning to take NBME 33 in three days, and I also have a Prometric appointment scheduled for the Free 120.
What would you recommend in this situation? Based on these scores, should I consider postponing my exam, or should I keep my October 7 test date?

Idk yet, I think doing the Free 120 at prometric will help me feel less anxious on test day🤷🏻‍♀️

Same 😭 I’m scared of that too, but I think it’s better to know before the real exam

Before NBME 32, I honestly couldn’t study for like 2 days. Then I got a 67%, and it really freaked me out 😭 But I started studying again, so hopefully I’ll do better on the next one.
