what is your target score? why did you give it offline?!
USMLE_Guide
245 on form 13 is not bad at all!
USMLE_Guide
Get it together and revise your mistakes, I had a drop on that one myself, one NBME is not gonna decide how you are going to perform in the real exam, what you can do now is to carefully review it, classify your mistakes and work on them the way you prefer.
USMLE_Guide
NBME 13 is actually one of the annoying ones, what were the mistakes like, did you review it?
USMLE_Guide
I have the entire plan, but bazically, she reviewed the NBME Qs thoroughly, solved Qs on weaknesses from another Q bank. We had sessions inbetween to address Wrong Qs, regarding the strategy and what is HY and what is not. Reviwing notes for different subjects was also incorporated, but above all of that, a lot of hard work.

about one month
USMLE_Guide
I know someone scored 216 on that form, ended up with a 260s!
USMLE_Guide
I think, you need to review the concepts, especially the ones related to your incorrect Qs, more thoroughly, take some time to dive deep and take notes.
USMLE_Guide
If it's going to affect studying, NBME, skip them, otherwise, do UWSA 2.

Solid start. NBME 12 is actually a hard one, review your mistakes carefully. good luck in the next one.
USMLE_Guide
You aren't necessarily doing anything wrong. I don't think it's a knowledge gap anymore. What I'd recommend is to go as you are, review the mistakes, and try to look into the reason behind the wrong questions—whether it's inappropriate reasoning, overthinking, distraction, or even a knowledge gap. Do the Amboss HY plans, especially for QI and patient safety stuff; it will make a big difference on the real exam.
USMLE_Guide
That's a very good timeline If you find that you need extra days to review the incorrect Qs, you may push the timeline one or two days, since you have about 10 days from NBME 16 to free 120
USMLE_Guide
Don't worry, just focus on reviewing the mistakes. Know the reason behind them (probably knowledge gap), and move on. I'd care more about NBMEs scores
USMLE_Guide
what is your percentage?
USMLE_Guide
I'd have a look into Amboss.
USMLE_Guide
Best of luck!

Hi! I will give you an advice(I'm a tutor myself), If you need some help with teaching, great videos out there explaining the systems from the FAs, like B&B (or videos in your language), give it a shot and try to be consistent, start doing Uworld Qs alongside, as well. That's what I would do!
USMLE_Guide
I think the problem might lie in how you do your review, rather than the type of resource you use. It's probably a combination of a knowledge gap and a lack of strategy. What I would do is take more time to review questions, especially the incorrect ones and those that test high-yield concepts, which are tested repeatedly on NBME forms. I'd suggest using ChatGPT to dive deep into those, and try working through the corresponding Amboss questions for the ones you missed.
USMLE_Guide
How do you revise Qs?
USMLE_Guide
Strategy and prioritizing HY subjects
I would postpone, honestly
