Hey TTPHUS, don worri I'll bury dose cokarouches (Steps)
no, but seriously, I liked the advice of doing some NBMEs. That was something I had planned of doing. I wanted to do NBME 1 before getting any further with my boards studying. Then complete all of Path and pathophys from UW and take another NBME to see how my method is working out. If I see a reasonable improvement, then it would be a sign it is working out, wouldn't it?
I mean, look at a UW explanation for a right and wrong answer. It makes most (if not all) other qbanks pale in comparison. It is as if 1 UW qbank question was worth about 3 questions of the others.
When you look at the big hitters of the past who did like 10K questions preparations only, they did not have UW in their arsenal. So could we say that maybe they had to do more questions to ensure they covered more material, BUT that having appeared UW with more thorough explanations, one could do w/o the method of massive amount of questions in exchange for a lesser but more in depth qbank?
When these guys did their 10K question preparation, the explanations on their qbanks were wimpy. That's not the case for us anymore.
Of course, I am throwing in the well known review books for reference if I find I need it as I go along, and of course I am also making reference and some minor annots. on FA.
So, could it be possible, maybe?
I will update you, of course, once I have done the NBMEs.
ok chico, tony montana out...
