TAKING A CLINICAL MASTERY SERIES SELF-ASSESSMENT
With the Clinical Mastery Series, you can assess your understanding of the clinical sciences and evaluate your readiness for an NBME Clinical Science Subject Exam.
Overview
Self-assessments from the Clinical Mastery Series are designed for students taking an NBME Clinical Science Subject Exam. They feature multiple-choice questions on clinical science content typically covered during a clerkship or medical education course.
In addition to helping you gain a familiarity with NBME-style questions, the Clinical Mastery Series self-assessments enable you to:
- Assess your medical knowledge or understanding of the clinical sciences
- Target your studies using feedback that provides a breakdown of incorrectly answered questions by content category
- View answer explanations to reinforce your knowledge and maximize study time
- Translate your self-assessment score to an approximate score on the NBME Subject Exam score scale
The Clinical Mastery Series covers the following content areas:
- Clinical Neurology
- Emergency Medicine
- Family Medicine
- Medicine
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Pediatrics
- Psychiatry
- Surgery
There are multiple forms available for each of the Clinical Mastery Series content areas, with 50 multiple-choice questions per form.
You can choose to take your self-assessment in either a standard-paced or self-paced format.
- The standard-paced option mimics a live testing environment and gives you 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete your self-assessment.
- The self-paced option increases this time limit to 5 hours.
Self-Assessments are delivered through the MyNBMESM Examinee Portal. You must log in to MyNBME to access a self-assessment and complete it within one year. You may sign off and resume/continue your self-assessment at any time during the one-year period.
