Did anyone get to the USMLEWorld question that requires you to accept a gold watch from a rich patient??? Hell, for all the work I'm putting into this exam I better get hooked up with some blank checks, especially when they see my board score and throw me into a psych residency with no way out..

What about the ethnically biased answer choice of asking a hospital housekeeper to translate the complaint of a Spanish speaking patient??

Why do I always get Carbamezapine, chlorpromazine, clozapine, and clomipramine mixed up?????? After a miserable exhausting 5 blocks of questions, every drug looks exactly the same and they all cause nephrotoxicity, at least in my book!!!!

Out of nowhere a weird old man walked into my biochemistry class. He was dressed in a three piece suit, top hat, a monacle, and was stroking a real live cat that was sitting on his shoulder. He walked up and said,

"I say ole chap, was that adenyly or adenylase?" The professor kindly responded, "It was adenylate."

But how do you feel, after doing only UW questions, you start doing another question, dont these other bank just feel really easy? after being "abuse" from UW

 

[Wings4Marie]

my only problem with usmleworld is that even after doing 95% of it, there's still new concepts I've never seen before popping up in the remaining 5%. After thousands of questions how are you gonna shoot me up with completely new concepts and drugs I've never heard of at the end?

I've also found a couple huge errors that I've looked up in Robbins and other sources but I guess that's no biggie only because of 2 things...

My NBME shot up 100 points after 3 weeks of soley doing Usmleworld,

I havent taken step 1 but USMLEWORLD seems to be exactly in style and presentation of the NBME exams which is a very good thing.

I never knew how complicated the gall bladder could be. I always hated it, its such an ugly little green bag of sludge but apparently is chock full of crazy pathology.

USMLEWorld is good at making you sit there and twist your mind in warped and unusual ways to find connections between the oddest most least connected things in all of medicine. But somehow it finds a connection. Like some drugs side effect interfering with a detailed cellular pathway of an unrelated receptor that's only seen in a rare form of an unusually presented common neoplasm. It reminds be of that movie, "A Beautiful Mind" when the main character had a nack for seeing complicated mathematical progressions in ordinary occurences.

My last 10 blocks have all been 60% on the dot. What is that called, oh ya, precision!

I don't think the other questions seem "easy". Most UW questions take more time to do since they are multi-step reasoning questions. When I do other questions, I seem to get through them a lot faster. Q-Bank tests a lot of facts which are important, UW focuses more on concepts.

1- What errors? please share
2- 100 points in 3 weeks😱, can you please share what was your first NBME and second NBME grade, and which one you did.

3-I got a really low NBME4 330, and have been doing UW like crazy and FA and Goljan, and you are telling me, that in 3 weeks I might score 430😀

I think you might need more than just anxiolytics 😉

USMLEWOrld said that Hyper IGM Syndrome was due to a deficient CD40 ligand on the B Cell when in fact the ligand is on the TCell.

It also said in one answer choice that Anti Jo-1 was an autoantibody for drug induced Lupus when in fact it's the antibody for Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis.

My NBME went from around 400 to 500. All I do is Goljian/USMLEWorld/First Aid, but I do them over and over and over and over til it makes me sick to my stomach. Im going through USMLEWorld a second time now.

are u listening to the goljan audio over and over again or reading the book again and again? i have personally found that the audio has a LOT of info that i could not just pick up with listening to once...

 

[Wings4Marie]

^^ In the last 4 months Ive listened to each audio file about 8, maybe 10 times....

I could probably tell you everything he says including his jokes, stuff about his Dependent Personality disorder, his infatuation with Biochemistry, his teasing of the pharm guy Trevor, his fart jokes, and even the little chitter chatter of students in the background from the Kaplan course...

I also got to hang out with Goljian in Texas and he was very very respectful to me and even started making fun of some fat lady that was standing in front of us 👍

SO to answer your question, I listened to his audio over and over and over and transcribed it into my FA... even the little white spaces between the words have annotations.. the last week Im just going to read my FA which will encompass Goljian, Kaplan Q Bank, and USMLEWorld... it weighs like 10 pounds from all the writing.. its a mess.. but a valuable mess.

That's just mean, I don't know what to say to that. Here's a frowny face for you: 😡

ha, i think lots of med students could use some anxiolytics. in 3rd year especially everyone's had days where they've been on rounds and could of at least used a beta blocker.
