Hey guys, I'm in a lot of distress.
I started studying for step 2ck about a month ago. In that time I've read MTB2 cover to cover and did a first time pass subject/timed tutor mode on UWORLD with a final percentage at 62. I recently started my second pass and did 5 timed random blocks average is 85% so far
Did well on step 1...
I did not study at all during my 3rd year (i know that was probably stupid). So anyways, having had a first pass on my main source materials, I figured it would be a good time to take an NBME assessment. I took form 2 and well...I bombed it..not like 210 bombed it...like 186 bombed it . I don't know why or what happened, I thought I knew the concepts in UWORLD and MTB pretty well. I didn't feel like I was answering THAT many things wrong. My exam is in 1 month. I have dedicated time off to study for it. I'm not sure what to do now, the score report says OB/GYN and peds were my worst subjects (i had negative stars on them). Everything else was in the borderline area.
Should I continue my second pass on uworld and 2nd pass on mtb2? I was planing on doing MTB3 for non IM things. But I mean a 186 after a first pass is saying that I am missing major knowledge or lack good clinical judgement.
What to do? I almost want to just postponee the exam another month. HELP
