I think I'm going to watch at 2x and chillax. I know reading notes is faster but I don't do it.
Thanks. I’ll blame my ineptitude on my superior age.
Didn’t see your post initially. Thanks to you too.
I feel like for me there’s gonna be so many concepts I forget it would just stress me out haha I like the idea of the double checking equations though. I always mess up the stupid renal ones for whatever reason
I looked stuff up in the pathoma book to ease my thoughts on a few questions here and there and also realized I missed a few gimmes. Anything you look up probably has a minuscule chance of coming up on following blocks and you don’t really have that much time depending on how you structure your breaks. But if you just wanna see that page in FA to jog your memory, I don’t see the harm in that.
I think part of it is where I tested (main testing center for like 4 medical schools in a big city). People were taking step 1, step 2, step 3 amongst other medical school exams
I still don't regret not doing a single NBME. UW 1 and 2 and free 120 this week is good enough imo.1 more block of NBME 18 to go... this test is so stupid. Most of the questions are free points, and then there's a handful of impossible questions. I'm sure the curve is harsh because everyone gets all the easy questions, and then your score comes down to which factoids you happened to memorize. I assume the real test will have a lot fewer free points, to give the test better resolution at the high end, so even if this is "predictive" it's probably not representative.
Gonna get a mediocre score and it's gonna hurt my confidence, and at the end of the day I will have learned almost nothing for all my time and effort.
Glad I didn't waste my time doing more of these

I haven't had to go to my school or listen to the bs. Pure bliss
I loved it. No schedule, just studying and learning.
I have very similar scores to you on the last few exams you took uswa 1-2, 18. My offical prediction is 250. I would not be surprised if you scored 255+-15, probably more like 255+-5.
252 is what you get when you plug into the predictor based on your scores. Range of 240-264 with a 95% CI. I'm sure if you had taken more of the older NBMEs the range would go down but 20-24 aren't included in the predictor.
Ha this is so relatable. I’m still freaking out over ‘what if you clicked ‘finish block’ without answering a single question on it. Had that very nightmare last night... 3 weeks after the exam
. Also have a list of q’s I missed, it’s grown to 12 over the past few weeks.Cant wait for scores to come out already...
My list is at about 12 too, half of which would have been 80% correct on uworld . The unfortunate part is i only remember like 20 questions so im sitting at like a 40% so far out of qs i remember. This sucks for sure. Cant stop myself from remembering wrong qs because they just randomly pop in my head sometimes and wont go away till i look them up oofHa this is so relatable.

Make us proud Daddy
Eh idk it was really just it’s own beast haha there isn’t a style it mimics completely
It's so weird to me how different the forms are ... I had a friend take it today who said he had a only handful of biochem questions on the entire thing and they were super easy and that it was nothing like the NBME's and exactly like UWorld. I really think the forms are generated completely randomly (ie: they have a question bank and press a button that randomly gives you 280 questions) -- he said within one block he had a question that he wasn't really sure about and then 5 or so questions later he had a question stem that gave him the answer to the previous question. Like blatantly spelled out the info he needed to answer it. He also had 2 questions on the exact same topic asking about the exact same concept for that topic.
