Hi, this post is kinda long and I apologize if this is repetitive. I don't really post on here but any advice would be appreciated. I have seen similar threads like this, but nothing answering the question I am looking for specifically.
I have my COMLEX level 1 in 2 months. I have been watching a few DIT videos and have done most of UWorld. But, my percentage has been abysmal. my average is about a 55% on there. I have also recently started doing COMBank and fairing much better, I am either at or above the average. But I haven't done a lot of questions on there. I still have yet to go through first aid once and it's really overwhelming me. Especially after I realize I am not retaining a lot from there. And it's taking forever to finish. Also everyone keeps saying to get through uworld but the explanations are so detailed, and a lot of them I don't really understand that well because my base is lacking. Especially in pathology and biochem.
from what I have seen on sdn, many people seem to be preparing for the comlex in 4-5 weeks and doing just fine. They are getting through first aid, uworld, and other review books in all that time. My question is how did people get through everything so quickly and manage to retain most of if? I think burn out from the year has a lot to do with why I am not retaining a lot. But I was just curious to see how other people made their studying so effective to get through it all and really make it count.
I have felt so completely overwhelmed for the last few days. It's taken me a few days to get through micro, and I am still not done. And my knowledge of biochem and pathology is lacking along with a few other subjects. I decided I need a few days to just refresh because I haven't really had much of a break since the school year ended. But I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to organize my studying to make it effective. I am looking to go into neurology or something internal, so I don't necessarily want the top score on the comlex. But advice on how to maximize my score would definitely help. Thanks so much.
In case it helps, I did pretty decently M2 year. As and Bs. Thought I was more prepared for boards than I actually was, and it's kinda freaking me out...
