Hey guys. Almost done with 2nd year. finishing as a 55th/60th percentile in my class (84/85 avg). I get B's except like 4 A's and 2 high C;s.
took my first OSCE a few months ago as a mandatory school assessment and got a 450 (our class average was much lower than that surprisingly).
have been using USMLE RX and have been doing a mix of block specific and class specific blocks of 20-40 questions. have done ~1.2k questions and average a 60% correct in the bank. (lowest I got was a 40% highest was a 78%). I plan on starting Uworld once I finish RX.
I use anki (60% mature anking) and write in/highlight first aid while watching pathoma/sketchy ( study slides very quickly and dont spend much time bc i think professors slides suck and I dont learn from the lectures, i just watch at x2 speed to see if they cover something I might miss otherwise). probably wont finish anking but ill try to keep up with reviews when I am not doing practice questions during dedicated.
I want to do IM and subspecialize so I want to match well. I believe taking USMLE and getting a 210+ would be in my best interests but I feel very not confident in myself. Should I register now to take it in late May? My COMLEX 1 date is May 24th.
