After almost 5 weeks I finally got my scores today and I have to say it was worth the wait. I got a 263/99!
I was so happy to see the excellent correlation with the NBME self assesment. I got a 730 on Part B 2 days before the test. This really helped me to stay calm and feel confident during the test.
Thanks to everyone for all their helpful suggestions, especially BigFrank, Jalby, stinger etc you guys really made a difference in my score.
I spent about 4 weeks studying full time.
The most useful resources for me were BRS path/phys and then 1st aid (good for pharm, micro, anatomy). I know it sounds crazy but I spent 5 days through the big Robbins, I think it was really helpful. Overall I would say that this is a hard test to study b/c the questions a rarely of the factual recall type. For this reason I ended up hating Q-bank. I spent so much time memorizing HLA associations and chromosome numbers, all for not.
Use Q-bank as a study tool but don't study for Q-bank!!
Best of luck to everyone in third year. See ya next year for step 2.
