i went through FA twice and tried to memorize every single line. also, i went through complete Uworld again. did approx 150q a day. i did not waste time on reading the comments when i knew why my answer is correct and why the other options were incorrect. i just invested some time on the questions which i felt difficult. in those, i read the comments carefully.,,with that i ended up with 75% correct answers overall. when i went through Uworld in my first attempt i ended up with 53% incorrect. i have 1 week until exam and will do all the remaining incorrect questions and try do go through FA a last time.

Best of luck man! You achieved a great improvement. Jumping from 47% correct to 75% means you retain info very well.

How did you get through FA TWICE and do Uworld again in three weeks?? Thats frickin amazing! Good job!

I haven't done the NBMEs, but I'm wondering how hard are they compared to UW questions?

just my opinion... but they're really different... like I'm roughly averaging 65% on UW but on my damn NBMEs I get like a 210?! I personally don't understand it..

but most people say NBME questions are easier than UW

9 am - 5 pm >>> 50 pages FA 30 min break


1 hour break


6 pm - midnight >>> approx. 150 Uworld questions


after midnight >>> watch south park to relax until fell asleep.


i forgot: check salary.com occasionally for cardiologist pay scale not to lose motivation 🙂

Yikes, I guess I'm not feeling too confident with that 70% average on UW, and I was hoping for at least a 230. Do you think it's worth it to do one NBME before the real deal or just focus on UW (my step 1 is in 11 days)?

Do NBME 7. Also the 150 free questions. I predict you will get > 235

No no... don't listen to me! I just freak out whenever I do those damn NBMEs and psych myself out :\

You'll be good with ur 70%

Yes you should do an NBME! Probably within the next few days ..either 13 or 15... Why wouldnt you want to know where you stand? Plus itll give u a few days to work on whatever it shows your weak on
