I've been using qBank and Goljan for the last three weeks, about half through each of them. Wow has it made a difference in my NBME scores

Pre goljan/qbank
NBME Form 3 - 410/195 🙁 😱

After 50% of goljan lectures and qbank and 3 weeks
NBME Form 1 - 560/232 🙂

Now to finish them! I put off goljan for a long time b/c I didnt want to listen to lectures, but seriously, it works. Do it! Annotating my First Aid with goljan & qbank seems to be working really well so far.

i thought he said ck-mb was the gold standard?

Um

no

Troponin I & T

IT was a while back, but I could of sworn that Conrad Fischer in the Kaplan Step 2 course said CKMB better than troponins cuz due to its shorter period of elevation. it could be better in case there was a recurrent MI. Troponin is elevated for a much longer time, so if there was another MI after the initial MI, troponin wouldnt detect it so CKMB is the test to use.

So??? can anybody elaborate?

Yeah. It's good for reinfarction, as Goljan says time and time again.
