Hey this is to anyone who recently took the exam:
1. How high yield is the nomenclature of viruses on the exam? I know the guy from DIT mentions that its not important and doesnt cover which viruses are negative stranded vs positive stranded or helical etc. Did you guys find this to be true or where there a lot of questions that dealt with this?
2. How crucial is it to memorize the chromosome location for certain diseases or cancer related genes? I mean i know them now after reviewing but is it crucial to remember each and everyone of them?
3. I know they say Uworldself assessment exams overestimate your actual score by a lot ..but by a lot has anyone noticed that it drastically overestimated your score by say like 40 points or so? I've had a 40 point difference between my uworldself assessment and my last nbme, granted that i took the nbme three weeks before but i was just passing it then and with the uworldself assement it shows that id do pretty well with a 230+ and all I did in between was start DIT again and read through some but not all of FA.
Thanks for any advice
