Can you tell us how a day went for you. Also, I find it really hard to see how anyone can do all 2250 questions and watch onlinemeded videos while reading all the explanations for uworld. That would mean you did over 5 blocks a day and watched 70 hours of videos in 10 days.
I didn't finish Uworld, I ran out of time. I started Uworld on the 1st of my 10 day spree and did maybe like 40-50%? I did maybe 3-4 blocks a day (maybe sped through one extra while eating) and watched the corresponding online meded sections. I did Uworld by system or section. After you do at least 2 blocks you get enough of the idea... I was scoring in the mid 60s. Made myself a word doc that had one liners explaining Uworld questions; my own high yield idiot's guide to step 2ck that was maybe 80 pages long at the end (Keep it stupid simple, no one will read it and judge you).
I watched the onlinemeded videos on 1.5-2x speed. He is very understandable at that speed since he is speaking so deliberate in the regular speed and trust, your ears will adjust. If he called me tomorrow on the phone I wouldn't recognize his voice because his regular voice sounds so weird to me now. Slow down at the end when he reviews stuff, watch some of the videos 2x when you're eating, 3x when you're in the shower. I watched all of the medicine ones (like nephro, pulm, gi, heme/onc etc) , some from the surgery section, some of the intern ones (the EKG one is fantastic), the screening prevention stuff, none of psych. I took the UWSA and scored in the 260s, took the Free 150 as well and got like 86%.
I am no genius.
The videos are that good. I am not paid to say that either lol.
I was laughing to myself during the exam because the videos were like explicitly what you need to know. Brush up on your biostats. Leave the drug ads until the end. I am a fast reader and had maybe 10 minutes at the end of each block and went back and did them.
Maybe if I studied for 2 months and did 100% of Uworld I could've gotten a 260 but I am not a greedy man.
The test is 35% easy, 45% scratch your head and think, 15% in a foreign language that sorta looks like English and 5% don't take it personally. So... don't take it personally. Just do what you have to do. Its repetition, algorithms, buzz words and gut reaction because the question triggered a memory from a lecture you were sort of paying attention in 2 years ago.
