How do you use USMLE World?

I read many people post things like, "I got 70% of UWorld questions right". What does that mean? Does that mean that before Board studying began he/she sat down, did all UWorld questions in timed mode without resources and got a 70%??

What I am doing with UWorld is going through in Tutor mode, answering each question without resources (I am, however, in the process of Board studying- but not nearly complete), and then reviewing the correct answer and all the explanations in great detail. I plan to review each question's explanation as many times as I can. Using this method- I don't think I'll ever get a real UWorld score that I can trust.

Does anyone use UWorld in a similar way? How do you use it?

best thing is time mode and mix qs, get every 2-3 blocks at once😀

when people say that about their world percentage im pretty sure they are referring to their overall average at the time they took the test.

i used uw the same way you did at first. after i had gone through them once, i did the untimed random mode with 44 questions/block

the score on uw isnt whats important. how much you learn from each question is.👍
