Took my exam on the 14th. For reference I am a US MD student who had 5.5 weeks of dedicated study time. I score slightly average to above average on school exams and I wouldn't even have a chance at a 240+ without this forum, so thank you all very much.
Test day:
I think I had one of the more "fair" exams. Much of it was out of FA/UW, I'd say probably 80% was covered in those resources. I relied on my undergrad knowledge for biochem and genetics more than I thought I would and anatomy was everywhere. In my opinion, if you are not supplementing FA/UW with an anatomy resource you are costing yourself points on the exam. I didn't get tired during the exam which I think had a lot to do with my doing 3 7-block simulations before the exam. Pharm was very straightforward with all but one drug being covered in FA/UW.
Resources:
Gunner Training: I was about 40% banked with 30% mastered. I worked through all of anatomy, physio, some pharm, some neuro. I quit GT December 2012 to start doing Rx and GT was causing me an incredible amount of stress because the system was really buggy all the time. With the site always crashing I my daily reviews piled up so I stuck it to the man and quit and picked up USMLERx--best decision ever. I'll get there. I will say though, that my test had a stupid amount of anatomy and autonomics that I was well prepared for because of GT that I stopped doing 6 months ago. So I guess it works, it's just a pain in the ass.
First Aid: Read throughout the year, great resource I would say my exam was still 60-70% out of FA.
Pathoma: Sattar is my guy. I listened to whatever subject we were covereing in school at the time, however, second semester I stopped listening to class lecture entirely and Sattar taught me everything I need to know. What a boss. I noticed a plateauing in my NBMEs so I went through the audio again my last 1.5 weeks before my exam. EXCELLENT DECISION.
Rx: Other than UW, I would say Rx was my most important resource. It's a well known fact that FA is daunting and it is hard to just sit down and read--that's why people inexplicably subject themselves to DIT (sorry, ha).
DIT: Watched two lectures, gouged my eyes/ears out and moved on with my life. I know I didn't give the program a full shake but I just couldn't do it. Rx is the ACTIVE LEARNING alternative to DIT and is less than a quarter of the price, no brainer for me.
Khan's cases: Went through twice and felt VERY prepared for the ethics questions I saw on test day. Great, underutilized resource.
HY Neuro: Went through once during my neuro class. Revisited the images the morning before my exam and I was rewarded for my effort.
Kaplan: During my first 1.5 weeks of dedicated study period I completed probably 800 questions in some of my weaker area. SO CLUTCH. I went through all of the anatomy, micro, embryo, biochem and molecular/cellular biology. While I was going through Kaplan I constantly wondered whether or not I was wasting my time. However, on the 14th I counted 7 times where I shook my head and smiled, knowing that Kaplan had lead me to the correct answer. For those looking for an additional anatomy source since I know that is a hot topic at the moment, Kaplan is a great place to look.
UW: Gold standard, duh. 7-8 repeats on the real deal. I went through like 1.8 times. Went through random timed the last 6 weeks of school and redid most of it during the school year. 69% the first time through 87% the second.
Anatomy resources: Flipped through HY anatomy---meh not so great. Not enough pictures and nothing is bolded so it is difficult to know where to focus your attention during dedicated study period. Used BRS Anatomy during my M1 class and this turned out to be the best additional anatomy resource outside of the Qbanks. I felt very prepared for all the images I saw on the exam because of this book. Each chapter has great pics that I encourage everyone to get through at least the pics. I didn't start looking thru BRS anatomy until the week before my exam, wish I started earlier.
Practice assessments.
6 weeks out 7 block USMLERx assessment: 248
5.5 weeks out UWSA 1: 245
4.5 weeks NBME 11: 252
4 weeks UWSA 2: 256
3 weeks NBME 12: 247
2.5 weeks NBME 7: 250 (started flat lining here and started pathoma again)
2 weeks NBME 13: 257 (did after 3 blocks of UW)
1 week Free 150: 93%
1 week NBME15: 245 (did after free 150) AHHHH, I was PISSED. I will say I was really tired when I took it but still a disappointing result given my NBME 13. I am glad I had a week to redouble my efforts after this result)
Average NBME score over my dedicated study period--250. I would be ELATED with a score anywhere near that. My goal going into dedicated was a 240+, leaving the testing center I think I have a solid chance of getting within 10 points of my average. Who knows if I will be embarrassed by saying this on July 10th when I get my score, but I think it is important for others to know how I felt leaving the exam.
I am open to questions and clarifications! Thank you all again 👍.
Cheers to 2013
