It's definitely the lowest out of all the tests. Three points lower than last week and six points compared to the first test.

Well atleast it's over.
 
Am I the only one studying at the library tonight? Slackers!!!!
Well, I guess if it wasn't for the booty I'm gonna get this weekend I probably wouldn't be studying tonight either 😀
 
Top 2 things that happened to me today:

2) I fisted my OMM partner (male)

1) My pubes were popped... and my first words were "Holy sh-it" right in front of the Woll-meister

Life is good...

It def. was an interesting feeling....
 
I am an one of the lucky winners that gets to evaluate this class! I have a LOT to say.
 
Since I know this will be the thing-to-be: I want to be SOUNDMAN for Halloween! I CALLED IT BITCHES!!
 
Best moment of the day in anatomy review lab:

Dr. Kahn "This is the thyroarytenoid muscle - the bedroom muscle, you know, it lowers your voice."

:laugh:
 
Are we there yet........................................................................................................................................................................................................😱
 
When I look in the mirror,
You are there.
When I sleep,
You are there.
I try to take off my skin
But you will not disappear.
I do not invite you,
But always come.
I ask you to leave,
But you stay.
I have tried to be forceful,
I have tried to be kind.
In the end I have realized,
I will not win.
I sat down today and wrote you a letter:
Oh loneliness,
Thou art a true friend,
Ever there when I am down…
Never to leave my side,
No matter how hard I try to push you away….​
 
OK, first of all...not cool. We get freakin PWNED by our anatomy tests THEN (nice scheduling by the way) and jump right into a difficult OMM lecture followed up by another OMM lab. Only to rest breifly to come back and start preparing for histology this Thursday. Man, I LOVE MEDICAL SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱 😀
 
Anyone else enjoying the unscheduled "lectures" as much as me?? Hopefully everyone knows what I'm referring to.
 
The informal presentation that we were so blessed to listen to right before OMM started. Ring a bell, or am I the only one?

I found it interesting that he emphasized that it was the OMM that seperates us from our allopathic counterparts... that got a lot of eyes rolling from what I saw.

What do you expect though, he's one of the OMM fellows after this year...

Yo, I was so freaking tired during that lecture. I don't know who comes up with our scheduals but they suck. After that anatomy test the last thing I wanted to do was go to a lecture and then to have lab. Okay, so I didn't exactly make it to lab, blame it on my alarm clock still being set two hours ahead and the fact that I live in WDM, either way, I like to consider it a silent protest 😴
 
Maybe one of you smarties out there can explain this to me. I suck at math, I can sit here and throw out P/\2+Q/\2+2PQ=1 and explain it to anyone, but, when it comes actually doing one of those fabled problems, my brain goes on strike. Anyways, I overheard some people talking about the STD. deviation for the tests and how the % listed next the the STD is the percentage to the first STD. deviation (67%). Now, I went back and looked at my grades and I can't believe this. Here is an example:

Osteopathic Manipulative Med I Practical 3 10/10 Practical Exam 1

Your Score 20.00/20 100.00 % Mean Score 19.12 95.59 %
High Score 20 100.00 % Standard Deviation 2.47 12.34 %
Low Score 0 0.00 %


If the 12.34 percent was to the next STD. deviation, then it would be in the hundreds, which is, of course, wrong. Even the 2.47 +/- the 19.12 (the mean) is far too high. Okay, so my question: after some hardcore math work, I have come to determine that the 2.47 is actually points. So, 95.59% +/- 2.47% and 12.34% of the class scored in this range (+/-2.47). Am I right in this?

I guess it depends on which one you are refering to, I mean if you are talking about pyloric stenosis then I guess that would making a :barf: ...ew. If you don't give me an answer, I won't tickle your anal sphincter ever again. :scared:
 
What a bunch of **** nuts. I don't know why I thought I would get a serious response. What a tool I am.

From what I remember, avg +/- std would "typically" include 75% of the class, +/- 2 stds would include 95% , and +/- 3 stds would include 99% of the class. So, as I've heard you need to be at/about 2 std above class average to be in the top 10%...I have no idea if its right or not..nor do I care!! haha..:laugh:

3 more days to Halloween, Halloween, three more days to Halloween, silvershamrock...


Its 67% and I don't think I ever typed anything about class rank in there. Just **** me in the ass with a pool stick for ever asking anything.

Here you go Jamers,

"Standard Deviation:
The standard deviation is the square root of the average squared deviation from the mean. The standard deviation of the Year 2 Internal Medicine scores was 6.9; therefore, we can conclude that 68% of the class fell within plus or minus 6.9 points of the mean. "

As I understand it, for OMM: (67.66667) 68% of the class fell btw 2.47 points +/- of the mean, which was 19.12 points. So, 68% of the class had scores btw 16.65-21.59. (I am assuming that anything above 20 is only possible in the World Of Math, since there was only twenty points to begin with).

Does that help?

I thought that at first, but the range was just too massive to be true. For some of our tests, the STD. deviation was 5-6 points (10-12 points on a 50 point test), this range is HUGE. This would also mean that near to 70% of the class was scoring near a 100% all the time. No offense to our class, but ranges just don't come out that often unless the exam was REALLY easy. Then we would see a STD. deviation of 1-2 points all near the 100. I just can't believe a STD. deviation would stretch from, lets say 95-75 (which is one of the biochemistry tests) with the mean being an 85. In order to get a range like that, you would have to fail, I would have to score a 100, the next person would have to fail, and so on and so on. If this was the case, there would be no upper quartile as 2/3rds of the class has taken up the majority of the points haha. I would hate to see what the next STD. deviation would reveal. It doesn't matter, I just wanted to know what the hell I was looking at every time I looked at my grades. I don't think the STD. deviation is what it is suppose to be in the traditional sense.

I think you are making this more complicated than it has to be. If the standard deviation is 5 points, then you have a range of ten points around it as you have said. I think that it makes a lot of sense that 68% of the class is scoring between ten points of each other.
I think it is the cases in which you have a range of 95-75, like you mentioned, which shows there were some people in the class that really understood the material and there were some people in the class that didn't. On almost all of the biochem tests there were people who only got about 22-25 questions right. If you have high average with scores low scores like that, then you can assume that not that many people did as poorly as the person who got 25, but if you have a low average with that 25 as the lowest(but still have someone making 100%), then I think you are going to have to have a much larger range in order to incorporate 68% of the class.

I don't know, maybe I am not understanding your point. Ignore me if that is the case. 😀
 
Alright, so I didn't go to the mock practical this morning. As a result, I have a quick question that hopefully someone could pretty please answer.

Is the practical portion of tomorrow's test multiple choice like the rest of the test???? I always assumed it was, but now I'm starting to question myself. I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks in advance!
 
Ok, so I think I figured out the answer to my own question. It's multiple choice. Ignore everything I've said.

I'm the sphincter.

Okay you fin' slackers, get on here and post something, I FEEL LONELY WITHOUT YOUR INTERNET LOVE!!! Don't make me ask another math question. I will do it.
 
Holy crap I'm more behind this weekend than I thought.
