My landlord is writing up a new lease for next year and is willing to make the end date more or less whenever is convenient. I’m just trying to figure out what makes sense and gives me a buffer so that the scenario you mentioned doesn’t happen.
The last day we have to take boards is July 17th. we are supposed to be at our rotation site by July 23rd
Sketchy + lolnotacop deck/Zanki pharm deck. Classes don't cover them enough at all. Sketchy plus the deck is solid for boards.
aight cool. I didn't buy sketchy this year but I will starting next year.
I've heard that Comsae under predicts by 50-100 and truelearn over predicts by 50-100
Depends. I took my Step a few days ago and have COMLEX coming up. Some people took it early June, some people are more towards the end of July. We had to have them done by July 17th this year. It really just depends on how long of a dedicated you want to take.
It did and it didn't for me, but that's because of COVID. I ended up putting off everything until the last 2 weeks and greatly regretted it. I personally think you should give yourself at least 3-4 weeks once the semester ends of dedicated time.
If putthoff is doing path for a section you def don’t need to do Robbins or outlines. But I’d go through his slides a few days out and reference Robbins on anything in there that’s new to you. If it’s Dobson then you’re gyn a want to look at the outlines at some point lol.
Probably enough. I did read the outlines but probably would've done fine had I not. I never once opened a single Putthoff or Dobson lecture.
There’s a sample MSPE letter online you can check out. Also yep. Welcome to only having fail/pass/honors.
Holy cow, how do you already have a COMAT score back?! Most people I know don't even take their first one till next weekend.
It's generally the last Friday of your rotation.
It just depends when you started rotations. KC region is one of the first sites to start.
Yeah it kinda sucks. I know it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it's irritating to know my grade will be the same as someone who just passed by one point for example lol. It's literally a 4th percentile vs. 86th percentile score, it makes no sense to me that those would both be a pass.
I’ve asked this. Comat scores are not out on your mspe but you can’t tell your writer to talk about it or mention it. I missed honoring EM shelf by 1 point but he said he’ll mention I got 86%ile in his written portion.
I mean yeah when you add 160 new students to a class, you're likely to have more unmatched kids than the previous year. But you'll also have more matched kids lol. If you mean a greater percentage of the class will go unmatched, I don't really see a basis for that.
Agreed.
Okay cool, good to know! Yeah it also sucks because it seems our school's threshold for honors is higher than anywhere else I've seen....112+ this year, other people I've talked to have 108+ or 110+ so it sucks knowing I would've had honors there.
There are some beasts in our class! Hopefully they (and all of us) are successful!
We are the wrong class to ask xD
Cool, yeah I know you guys aren't the best to ask but was just curious around when. This whole situation sucks.
Can you only see dates available once you purchase the exam through NBOME? I totally would've taken it in April or May but doesn't seem like those dates will be available now ha
Unfortunately, yes, you have to wait. I just pulled it up and in Chicago, the earliest available date is July 4th. In Conshohocken, PA it is May 26th.
I used zanki through 1st and 2nd year, and through boards. I tried an anki deck for shelf exams but gave up. Personally, COMQUEST + making your own anki flashcards of incorrects or facts you want to remember is more than enough to pass/honors. Maybe throw in Uworld if you're taking step2, you'll do better. As for FM, I personally felt that almost none of my studying prepared me for that COMAT. So much random BS.
FM was my second COMAT after psych. It was a train wreck xD
I used the dorian deck for FM and got a 105. Though as other posters said the exam was a ****show. Comlex felt better than that exam lol.
after you submit your MSPE stuff next august you will see it.
I was more just curious, I thought it would be something we could view on 360 like normal class rank.
