Only plan on taking my schools comsae in 2-3weeks. I have 5 days between step and comlex and will be doing comquest or kaplan OMM qs, reading green book, and watching videos on strictly OMM as well. Not sure what source for videos atm, online med ed and omgomt both look good.

I got an omgomt membership leading up to our schools comsae and I thought it was pretty good. But some classmates told me there are some errors in it, but what OMT source doesn't have errors? Probably will watch that and then do the OME omt videos as well

Have any of you done the Kaplan bank or at least the 100 free trial questions? I heard it's super random but the first 40 trial questions weren't bad. Still pretty first order though for the set I did anyway.

Also any zankiers here slow down as the easy good and hard times approached or passed your test date? Sometimes on ones I got right but slightly shaky or if I accidentally spacebarred before answering but knew the answer, I press again because I'm worried Ill forget it by test day. This kinda slowed my card rate and makes the 1300 reviews a day a much bigger chore lol

im honestly about to suspend zanki despite having matured 19k cards and completed 22k...havent decided yet.

Currently I make around 60-80 new cards per block of uworld and reset a few zanki cards to new here and there. Between 8 hours of uworld and 2-3 hours of memorizing biochem/anatomy (medical school didnt cover a single storage disease ??), it just seems ridiculously low-yield to review an hour or two daily of cards ive seen 10+ times already

maybe i will just suspend cards that have 0 lapses and intervals greater than x days...:sorry:

I found Kaplan to test concepts and principles more than Rx did, in that you can reason through answers you are unsure of, rather than being asked to recall a specific fact. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of those too in Kaplan, but it seemed more of a thinking QBank to me.

For Zanki, once you finish the deck, the daily cards are very easy to manage because the number goes down every day and you just have to keep up with it. Adding in more cards or further descriptions and pictures is beneficial too, but it isn't the same grind of doing 100-200 new cards a day and the immediate review pile-up that comes with it.

I'm keeping up with my reviews during dedicated, but more because I plan to keep up with it after dedicated during rotations. Other friends I know have dropped the cards in order to get through more questions and other content. To each their own

Keep up with step 1 decks for third year? I had imagined I would retire most of those decks and start the zanki step 2 deck. I've heard good things about keeping with the antimicrobials/pharm and micro from preclinical years. I don't know if I'll be doing any embryo decks or basic phys after this nightmare is over

UWorld really loves to mess with my head sometimes. I often get questions wrong because I refuse to believe they are so simple. Yet other times, questions disguise themselves as simple when they are really third order. I guess that's good for building test taking skills, but it makes me pull my hair out when reviewing blocks. Anyone else run into this problem?

Absolutely. And then I take that approach to the NBMEs and end up doing calculus on questions that only require addition. The hardest part of this whole process for me has been figuring out what each resource wants from me haha

I've been wondering this too. I have only gotten a couple of opinions so far (N=2), but they have both said that it's not necessary b/c the Step 2 Anki decks have the relevant micro/pharm you need to know.

But that is only a couple of opinions... I want to collect plenty more before committing to a decision.

Would love anybody else's thoughts on this.

I got a 212. I want to crawl under a rock - I am a full standard deviation below my average practice score. I am so beyond disappointed. My dream was peds on the west coast - where I am from. feeling like i have to kiss that dream goodbye.

Sorry to hear that you didn't get the score you wanted - do you mind sharing how you were doing on your practice tests/qbank scores? What do you think happened on test day that made it so different from other days? Knowing this and reflecting on it will be able to help you crush Step 2 when it comes around. All hope is not lost - the west coast is huge - there are plenty of peds spots available

Keep your head up man, this test does not define us. If you improve on Step 2, crush clinicals, and secure good recommendation letters you can still have a shot a west coast peds. Soooooo many programs out there.

I was scoring in the 230s. I did UWorld twice, pathoma, some B&B. My UWorld average was 70% and my free120 was 79%. I felt okay leaving the exam. I didn’t think it was overly hard. Guess I was wrong.

I’m gonna start drilling Anki now for step 2, I guess. I know I have it in me to crush clinicals, clinically. I guess I just have to focus on crushing shelves too.

I had my heart set on OHSU so I could finally get back to the PNW but that seems like a looooong shot.

Gonna start perusing step 2 stuff. Gotta try to use this gnawing depression/disappointment as motivation

im taking my sketchy pharm and micro knowledge to the grave...by keeping the relevant anki (pepper + zanki + lol) for those. its only 3-4k cards total and if you matured it with a a reasonable max interval its going to only be 5-10 reviews tops.

i ended up suspending the rest of my anki decks though today for the remainder of dedicated

that dream is literally never gone now that you've passed. even if you didnt do residency on the west coast you could easily network and have a job there afterwards. thats the beauty of this profession in this country. the west coast and most of america is not saturated with doctors except in a few cities - and even then the limitation is the number of buildings for medical offices, not the number of patients needing you. especially in peds

keep your head up!

keep your head up Banana_phone. Shine on step 2 and clinicals and you should be able meet your goal of matching, and even if you dont residency is a short time and you can always go back to work on the west coast.

The questions are written by med students. They usually have buzzwords thrown in them , that are not going to be on the real thing, or test one very small detail that may or may not be of significance. There are rarely any conceptual questions.

Even when you look at the reddit survey data the percent correct vary widely in terms of what it actually signifies.

Hi All,

Posted here a while back. Just giving an update. Was trying to get Zanki, USMLERx, and kaplan done before dedicated. Research and finals destroyed my April and I ended up stopping the Qbanks at about 50-60% done for each, score approx 82%. I also got a week or more off track with my anki reviews and never quite caught up.

I am in dedicated now was a little less than 4 weeks left. Didn't finish Zanki but I did mature about 84% of it. All of biochem, 200 pharm cards, and about 200 cards of miscellaneous public health things/heart sounds are not done. I originally tried to keep up with my reviews and keep doing new cards in zanki and lolnotacop, but it was way too much in addition to Uworld- no more main deck reviews.

So, my big weaknesses according to the Qbanks are biochem (my achilles heel), genetics, and micro. I'm aiming to finish the lolnotacop deck and zanki biochem before dedicated ends with 2 blocks of uworld per day. Anki in the morning, Uworld in the afternoon. I'm also keeping up my pharm reviews. If I have extra time I can pepper in random reviews from the main deck for an hour or so at the end of the day. I'll start alternating 3 Uworld blocks per day as I get faster in order to finish on time.

So far it's working as my uworld avg is now about 88%. About 20% of Uworld is complete. Timed 40 random only. Started dedicated ~1.5 weeks ago with baselines NBME 18 (257) and NBME 20 (250) one week later (last Saturday). Not sure what to make of that drop but whatever. NBME 21 this Saturday...

The burnout is real, fam. I'm peeling out of second year ****ing exhausted. I'm with Scrubs101, I just want this **** to be over with. I'm so tired of my life and schedule revolving around this stupid test lol. I'm secretly hoping I crush my next NBME so I can have an excuse to move the exam up (even though I probably won't- every time I think I'm close to ready I get schooled in Uworld).

Reading through this thread I'm proud of everyone who kept up the grind. We're gonna make it. Warrior mindset. This process is weird and awful and no sane person enjoys this, but we're getting it done.

To add, stopping my main deck reviews was/is kind of spooky. I have been keeping up with this stuff for about 8 months now, and it feels uncomfortable to walk away from it. I'm like a kid who grew up in a cave and I can only sleep in closets now because that's all I know. Also, I'm irrationally afraid of magically forgetting everything I learned between now and the exam. Feels great. We love it, folks.

Honestly man if you break 250 on another NBME then I would move your test up. Maybe take UW2 and see how that goes. If you hit your target on that then just go take this beast and take a nice summer break before rotations start lol

How do you all review your NBMEs efficiently/quickly?
Click to expand...

Take a paper - Divide in 4 representing each block, then divide each quarter into 50 small squares. Add numbers 1 through 50. Start reviewing normally and tick each question you see. You 're not even going to need to go through all the different categories as questions are repeated multiple times. I use this method and I am done in a few hours - I don't extensively review NBMEs since they don't come with explanations and most questions are of low quality.

Took UWSA1. I got into it thinking that it's gonna be super easy because it overpredicts and everyone gets super scores but I was wrong. If UWorld is regular season, then the UWSAs are the playoffs in terms of question difficulty in my humble opinion. I had a ton of marked questions, especially in the first two blocks.


I was ecstatic to see a 283 in the end (wtf?!). I can now totally understand why people that end up doing well on the real thing leave the prometric center feeling like they bombed it or at least that they underperformed.

What was your percent correct ?
The exam definitely felt uncomfortable like a lot of the nbme exams feel. They make you select choices that are correct but are capable of generating doubt.
I took the exam and ended up with a 264 at ~84% correct.

Sitting in the bullpen with nothing but my own thoughts waiting to take this thing next week ain't good haha. Lately I've come up with the idea that the "changes to the testing pool" are gonna be huge and I didn't do enough of the new NBMEs (only 20 and 21).

Man I need to finish this thing and have a stiff drink.

Man step studying really has a way of humbling you...

I had a solid 10-15 stretch block with close to an 80 average on uworld and thought I turned a corner, I was like d*mn I’m gonna own this.

then my last 5 have been in the low 60s and exposed how much work there still is to be done. Good motivation though I guess

Anyone else feel this way?

I believe so, but to me people reporting their UW average is kinda a mess IMO. Everyone does UW differently and just seeing peoples averages doesn't seem to take it into consideration.

Right there with you...Only 20% through but had steady improvement from the start (mid 60s quickly to mid 80s). Yesterday I had a 2 in the 60% area again which sucked

What is helpful though is that they give you what everyone else scored on that block. When my score dropped, it was mostly because of way more difficult questions (and fatigue). The average score on the last 2 blocks was literally 45% so doing +20 from the average is actually in line with my recent progress.

Or maybe im just falsely comforting myself with this thought process

Just took 17. That curve is damn harsh. 80%-ish is a 211? I mean damn I thought I turned a corner haha 39 days to go...need that 230.

Any advice on heme studying? The cascade and inhibitors and all that just don’t wanna stick in my brain. Also biostats was taught terribly at my school so any resources for that would be helpful
