Hey guys..Have 9 days till D-Day and wanted to ask if anyone know any online sites that has more biostats problems pertaining to USMLE.

Also..How important are milestones? I just know basics like they have in FA..

Uworld has a biostats package with something likey 70 questions covering a variety of topics. With respect to milestones, I didn't have a single one on the test I took on June 1st, but I did have about 8 ethics questions and 10 biostats questions, all of which were reasonable given that I dedicated some time to it.

Yeah I can never get the milestones fully straightened out... if anyone has good mnemonics or general "high yields" they've summarized, please share!

Doesn't seem like alot of folks get them on their exams though... so prob not high yield.

Number of blocks a child can stack Is equal to age in years times 3:

1.5 year old can stack 4.5 blocks ~ 4 blocks
2 year old can stack 6 blocks
3 year old can stack 9 blocks

Shapes that a child can draw follows alphabetical order, except diamond which is the last and most complicated for a child: circle, cross, rectangle, square, triangle, and diamond (each one corresponds to a particular age)

Nice thanks 👍

Milestones will almost always be a description of a kid at a certain age, and the answer choices are columns (social development, language, motor, etc) with "delayed", "normal", etc. So just have a picture in your mind of a kid in each age bracket and where they should be. You'll see like 1-2 questions on this tops I would assume, if any.
