Hi everyone! I was hoping for some advice. I just recently took COMSAE B and received a 388. I am one week into my studying and 5 weeks from my test. The only prestudying I did was 50% of UWORLD (and annotate questions into FA) and am averaging a 62%. I naively thought this was okay but my COMSAE is saying otherwise. I did poorly on Digestion and Metabolism, Motor Alteration , Human Development, History and Physical and Biochem. Borderline on most everything else with an Acceptable in Path and a good in Micro, General Symptoms and Thermoregulation. I'm looking for what specifically these sections relate to but can't find anything really informative.
I'm only taking COMLEX, I was thinking about signing up for the USMLE but this COMSAE gutted me. Surprisingly I didn't think it was too hard, just weird sometimes and there was a lot that I haven't looked at in a long time.
My plan/materials:
FA x2- wish I had started this earlier
DIT to get through FA 1x (my school gave us this, I was planning to skip it as I heard it's a waste of time during dedicated but now I think I should do it)
UWORLD finish/do incorrects
COMBANK- Last 3 weeks
Saverses x2
Sketchy micro/pharm x1
Does anyone know if the DIT OPP videos are any good? OPP is a weak point for me, all that cramming and regurgitating is coming back to haunt me.
Any advice for me? Critiques (Or encouragement?) I'm already signed up for the last test day before my rotations begin so pushing the test is unlikely. My school doesn't have a COMSAE requirement but gave us B & C to take. Should I take C? I'm getting mixed advice, 2 upperclassmen told me not to take anymore COMSAEs as they aren't really predictive but others are saying to comfortably pass (450+) before taking the COMLEX and encouraged me to also purchase A.
I'm sorry I wrote a novel, please help! Thank you!
