Hey guys,

I have my exam in little over 3 weeks, but I still have 65% of uworld remaining. The thing is that it takes me as many as 4 to 5 hours to review a block of 44. I was wondering how some of you guys are able to get through all of uworld in a short amount of time... do u guys only review the questions that you get wrong? do u only read the objectives at the bottom? any tips would be greatly appreciated. btw, i am avg a 70% currently

4-5 hours?? It should take you 2.5-3hrs TOPS. Give an example of what you do for each question that causes you to spend so much time on each block.

It takes me 4 to 5 hrs when I type out notes, but if I just read the explanations, 2 to 3 for sure.

Op make sure you don't get bogged down by details$

I think the dumbest thing people do it spend a ton of time on the ones they got right. I know there's some good information in the explanations but try not to waste too much time on the stuff you already know.

Hey guys,

thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it 🙂. anyways, what I do to review a block of uworld is only read the explanations, but I tend to get bogged down on every little detail...

Have you been able to finish questions in time, and how have shelf exams gone? Step 2 seems to be more concept based than detail oriented. If you just "read" the explanations to understand what the next step is, why a presentation is a certain Dx, you will be just fine. Make sure you finish those questions!

Seconded.
