comlex

Alright friends, let's do this. I'm planning on sitting sometime in late June (COMLEX only). FA 2017 is on the way, starting UWorld in January and Combank around April. Feel free to share and help keep each other accountable until we slay the beast.

Can anyone that has taken the USMLE or COMLEX give more detailed advice as to what Neuro concepts were tested. Any advice is much appreciated!!!!!!!! :)

A friend and I are trying to compile scores from those that took both USMLE and COMLEX to see if there is any correlation between their scores. If you took both and want to contribute, please post both scores below or shoot me a message. We will share the data once we finish if we can get enough...

Just took it last week and essentially I walked out almost crying. Guess I'm looking for a little reassurance, or maybe advice on how to tackle a retake at this point. I keep reliving it over and over again in my head. It went so badly. Here is a decently long list of what I did wrong during my...

hi everyone, I'm a Canadian osteopathic medical student. I'm applying for allopathic Family medicine programs (I need a j1 visa). My step 1 scores are 237/569. And my comlex 2 is 653. However I just got my step 2 ck back this morning which is a 237:( I have already submitted my application and...

As the last FAQ thread hasn't been updated in 7 years and all the links are dead or very old, I thought I'd start a fresh one. This is a work in progress. If anyone would like to contribute, especially for COMLEX information, you are more than welcome to! Discussion Threads Official 2017...

Hi All, Im a DO student applying for Anesthesia Residency. I scored better on my USMLE Step 1 exam compared to my COMLEX step 1. Would it be smart to NOT release my comlex scores to MD programs? Or am I required to release both?

Hey all, question. Here are some scores: USMLE Step 1 223; USMLE Step 2 CK 240; COMLEX Level 1 556; COMLEX Level 2 665. I'm planning on doing the allopathic match, BUT I'm still wondering if I should bother registering for the AOA/NMS match if I'm interseted in 2 IM programs, both of which are...

Hi, I have my PE scheduled for August 23rd. Is anyone with Sep or Oct PE date interested in switching? Please let me know!

Hey everyone. So I just got my USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX part 1 scores. USMLE= mid 230's and COMLEX=mid 660's. I'm planning to do more research (did quite a bit of neurology-related research between college and med school as well as prior to that). Do I have a reasonable shot at ACGME neurology...

Hello, Just got my USMLE and Step 1 scores back and they were: USMLE 218, COMLEX 559. Im a bit disappointed but I dont know what to make of them. Was around 230 on my NBMEs. What specialties am I competitive for? I was interested in Anesthesia, EM, or IM. Im assuming ill do the AOA match as my...

Hello all. I am currently a 4th year in New York and I'm in the process of filling out residency applications. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not sure about which specialty to choose. I am still torn between a few, but because I've always been interested in physics, I found radiology may be a...

Which book do you prefer and why? Thanks!

I'm a OMS-II in New York taking the COMLEX July 1st, scheduled to take the USMLE July 14th. I've been studying for both since March. I've completed UWorld once and almost done with COMBANK. I used UWorld to build a foundation and COMBANK to test memorizable facts. I've used FA, DIT, skimmed...

Dr. Crow just published the 3rd edition of his new OMM/COMLEX board review book. 1) Of other competitive books, this one is the only one written by NMM board certified doctors. They have been question writers for both COMLEX and COMSTAT. 2) The 2nd edition of books have been implemented in...

Hi everyone, So I've been fortunate enough to have been accepted into a good DO school and start later this year. After graduating and having a bit of time before school starts, I've had more time to worry about school haha. I'm very excited and am ready to start, but I'm also worried about...

Before everyone says "of course you should" I think my background is kind of important. I'm a 2nd year student that's in the bottom quarter of my class. I did pretty well first year (around average) but had some family issues happen during second year, which eventually caused me to fail a class...

Combank claims to be the best osteopathic Q bank available. Its really unfortunate how many errors there are throughout the Q bank though. Suggestions and student feedback must not mean that much to them as the feedback would sort out or make it a better Q bank overall. Complaints: 1...

Hello all, This is my first time posting to this site and I'm looking for some help. Due to my inability to perform well on exams (which I just discovered in medical school - yay) I am unfortunately a very non-competitive applicant for residency. I was falling behind in my first term of first...

Would you purchase face to face PE review course taught by experienced faculty. 1/2 day course $400

Hey guys, So I bought the subscription to CramFighter and had a quick question: Do you have any tips for arranging your CramFighter schedule? For example, if I am starting board prep now and want to get through FA 2-3 times, how do you arrange that in cramfighter? How long are you giving...

I have a step 1 222 and comlex I 541 and I'm interested in matching to ACGME diagnostic radiology. Is it necessary that I take the Step II CK or will the Level II CE suffice?

Hey guys, I'm retaking the COMLEX 1 in 6 weeks and in need of a fresh board review schedule. I just scored above 300 and need the highest score i can get. I've done pathoma, sketchy, combank, and about to purchase u--world. any advice would be great.

Sorry this is long- freak out mode. Type A personality I just took PE the other day and i am freaking out about this now. I felt like i started off with the first four patients doing well and then it suddenly went down hill. My biggest concern is that there were two patients where i did not...

Hey, I've been using Picmonic to get though my classes (especially bugs and drugs) and think it's awesome. But now as I study for step 1 I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to remember the hundreds and hundreds of Picmonics I need to on test day. Did anyone who used Picmonic for step 1...

I'm a second year DO candidate and currently studying for boards. Should I take both? If you took both, please give me your rationale and the source (medical education director, program director, etc.) that advised you to do so. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I've looked around a bit and I haven't seen a thread in regards to what study material everyone is using for USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX. I'm a first year and have already purchased the USMLE First Aid book, but I'm looking for a good review series as well that goes a little more into...

I have an unused USMLE Step 2 CK 2016 Review Course for sale! My school bought these for us but I do not intend on using it because I retain close to nothing from lecture-style/auditory learning. This product runs for $799 and I am selling it for $500. PM me for more details if you are...

Hey everybody, I'm a MS1 at an osteopathic school with some thoughts on OMM that I wanted to share and get feedback on. I don't believe in it. I know that's not a super original opinion to have, but I'm wondering why nothing (at least nothing that I'm aware of) is ever really done to get rid of...

Has anyone used this deck for Step 1/COMLEX and did reasonably well? I'm curious about its efficacy as opposed to Rx. I understand that they are both pretty much a Q&A of First Aid? Thoughts? apr27

Hi guys! I am a 3rd year DO student. I passed COMLEX with a disappointing 438 and I passed USMLE with a 207. I am interested in family medicine. Many of the residencies I am interested indicate that the minimum score for USMLE Step 1 is a 200 and the minimum COMLEX Level 1 score is a 450. Am I...
