Hey guys, I’ve hung around SDN for a while now and finally decided to make an account and post a thread... I was just wondering how my chances looked at matching into neurosurgery and what “tier” of programs I’d be competitive for:
School with a home program ranked about 65
Step 1:246
Step 2...

What is the best way to begin (lightly) preparing for Step 1 alongside a systems based curriculum? Is there a particular resource (First Aid, Boards and Beyond, Pathoma, Sketchy etc.) that would be valuable to pass through once prior to starting a stricter study schedule during M2/dedicated...
3rd year DO student here, and am still on the fence about taking Step 1. Interested in FM residency. Does anyone know if it is required to report Step 1 scores on the NRMP residency application post merger completion? Previously there was still the AOA; therefore, ERAS application. Now it will...
I have heard a rumor that every single year there is a delay in the release of scores around the may/June months. I have also heard that they usually release the scores during their normal scheduled release dates without any delay. Can someone confirm if the second rumor is true?
Hi everyone,
I am an M3 (just started my first clinical rotation last week) and I have been interested in ophthalmology since before medical school. I recently received my step1 score and was pretty devastated to see that I got a 236. I am now trying to decide if I need to give up on...
I recently started my dedicated which is an 8 week plan. My first NBME (form 21) was a 194. I created a plan but quickly realized that I cannot keep up with the plan. Essentially the plan consists of 7-8 hours of FA, Pathoma, Sketchy micro and pharm. And then 80 questions of Uworld. The problem...

Hi all,
For those of you who have been through the match process for anesthesia, I was wondering, is it necessary to take Step 2 CK before applying? I have a relatively strong Step 1 score (248) and am worried that I may not do as well on Step 2 CK. I know that taking it can help bolster a weak...

Hello! I got in the mid-high 400s on my Comlex I and II and ended up taking Step 2CK and did pretty well (230s range). During interview season, PDs actually asked why there was such a jump between my COMLEX and USMLE scores and they wished I had taked Step 1. I am applying for IM and am looking...

I'd appreciate any realistic advice I can get. I am a dual UK-US national and am currently a final year medical student in the UK. I recently did an NBME13 to establish a baseline that I can work with prior to taking my step 1 in July or August this year (I have 5 months in total with...

How often should one be taking practice exams (NBMEs and COMSAEs)? One/week? Two/week? Our dedicated is about 7 weeks. With some mandatory events here and there. I'd like to get through all the NBMEs, UWSAs, and COMSAEs, but that's a lot of practice tests.
I'm taking both Step and Level 1...

Hello everyone I am a first-year medical student in Azerbaijan and I want to practice medicine in the US. However it worries me that I won't be able to build a necessary "foundation" let's say to do well on Step1. Do you guys think studying in Turkey instead would alleviate that? Is the turkish...
I am currently trying to formulate some sort of study plan/schedule for tackling the CBSE, but it seems quite thoroughly overwhelming.
There are so many study resources and so little time with which we, as dental students, actually have to study this material. I see my med school friends...
Hi everybody,
I go to a school where the preclinical curriculum is condensed into 1.5 years (we'll be starting systems in March) and we take Step 1/2 CS/2CK essentially one after another. After we finish rotations we get a few months of dedicated for Step 1 and can take more time to study for...
Is there anyone who did not study First Aid and just studied from Uworld. I have my exam in 3 weeks and have just done Uworld. I read the explanation somewhat. What are your views. I was never comfortable with First Aid. So should I start studying First Aid now?
I’m currently an M1. I was wondering, for the people who scored 240+ on step, what specific study habits did you find helpful in learning the material from class?

I can’t help but think of how...

Hi guys. I wanted to make a thread talking only about diagram questions from the nbmes. We could briefly describe the question and then write down what all the letters mean.
Is there a post about this already? I couldn't find any.
