Is it just me or is Uworld's Path section notably harder

....than the rest of Uworld's sections? I haven't had a lot of trouble with the other sections but Path is really kicking my butt 😡

If it makes you feel better, even when i got down to the last 5% of UWorld questions (you would think there would be signs of improvement by this point), path still gave me the most trouble when I saved it for last. They love to be extremely picky about the minutiae for microscopic findings and I doubt you're the only one who feels that way.

It sucks because there's like 600 Path questions which means you're going to drain all the other sections and all you'll have left are insane path tests 😡

I've heard Path on the actual USMLE is much less vague. Uworld has a tendency to throw a lot of curveballs and give you the bare minimum amount of information.

exam path is easier than uworld.

EDIT:

i had more info in here but with my luck the usmle gods will find out who i am and fail me...call me paranoid.

anyway, path is noticeably easier on the real exam, don't sweat it.

/EDIT

good luck! (but not too much, don't kill the curve...)

Path is easier on the real exam but you need to get at least 9 out of every 10 right to get the score that an SDN poster would be satisfied with. UWorld is just a learning tool, the more you miss, the more you learn.

Good because I'm lucky if I ever score above 60 on Path-only tests lol.

Wait, are SDN posters more obsessive than the average medical student? Wait...is that why we're at this website? Oh dear.
