DO IT. 3 days of extra study isn't going to make a difference.
Verbatim on all three surprisingly. I skimmed 23 and there were very, very similar topics tested for me today. I didn’t take it, so idk what their questions were exactly, but the discussions I read had super similar substances to them. You’ll kill it!
Absolutely the uworld exams and the qbank. The new NBMEs (20-22) were a waste of time compared to today’s exam. The exam today I felt like gave me the opportunity to give an educated guess on the questions I wasn’t super knowledgeable about. I never felt that way about the newer NBMEs personally. Definitely keep up with your deck if you can. I got lucky and remembered most of the ones they tested, but I wouldn’t have spent more than 30 seconds on some of them if I had actually kept up with mine.
There's no clear number for a "decent" uworld second pass, just make sure you're learning from your mistakes.
Ah thanks. I was looking for something that said nbme20 etc.
make a spreed sheet of all the questions you got wrong, type why you got it wrong reasoning , knowledge deficet, misread.
This. You'll know the whole pathway of what they are talking about except the one tiny detail they want as the answer. When the scales are as harsh as they are if you get 5 questions on one line facts you don't know that will drop you 4-8 points depending on the form.
Drives me insane. I can get 4/5 the steps right, but get 0 credit and get slammed with how crazy the scales are. Confidence plummets. Rinse repeat
the new exams have very generous scales. But it is silly at the end of the day how much this stupid multiple choice exam matters.
That’s reassuring. I’m taking 19 Saturday. Can’t wait to knock myself down a few notches again right to start dedicated. With an 80% being a 211 on 17 that hurt the psyche. I just want at least a 230 is that too much to ask?
I mean if its a fair scale I’d take it. Nothing quite like feeling like you knew a vast majority of the answers and then come out to see you scored 20 points below average haha a big problem I have is switching answers too so hopefully with eliminating that I’ll see a bump
100% this, i feel as though I'm getting dumber as time goes on. It's hard to say if I've even net learned a single thing at this point in dedicated taking into account how much I feel like I forgot.
its totally normal. I feel like a zombie. But realistically im only studying 8-9 hours a day
being well rested and in a good state of mind will get you a much better score instead of burning yourself out by studying for an extra hour at the end of the day. don't worry about it!
if you are happy with 248+-5 i would move up and take the damn thing, after free 120 and UW2.
Do it and bask in the freedom
Definitely take UWSA2 next and hammer home whatever you feel weak on, then move that shiz up and spend some time chilling out and hanging out with the family!
