Pretty much same. Good luck!
*Tic douloureux*. It's always funny hearing my professors trying to pronounce all the French words in medicine because French and Creole are actually my first languages.
Originally, I was gonna take it in June and start rotations in July, but then I didn't feel like I was gonna be prepared enough. So, my school has this built in Non-clinical month in 3rd year that you can use for anything (research, board study....), so I chose to use it as board study for the month of July instead.
Yes, which was the answer I picked, which was incorrect haha. Apparently the distinguishing factor is that the pain is more localized specifically to the mouth/jaw/etc, but I literally have never heard of glossopharyngeal neuralgia so I went with trigeminal. I don't feel too bad because only 20% of people got it right and there's nothing about it in FA, but damn sometimes you just get a block with a bunch of WTF questions to crush your confidence lol.
21 all day baby
Holy wow. I remember that question! Such a classic Rx low yield af question made by some student that wants to flex on us. Thanks for the reminder. Just so I have it straight glosso neuralgia is more localized to mouth/jaw compared to trigem neuralgia?
Here's what the explanation said:
Radiopaedia for sure. Im sure if you google HY rads for Step 1 in youtube you could focus on the higher yield images since imaging isnt all that HY for Step. Radiopaedia is a little more advanced so maybe start with youtube then work your way over to radiopaedia for more practice
oh truee ya they can get tricky. thing that helps too is always rememberthe image is usually flipped unless it says otherwise. If ur looking at CT chest or abdomen ur lookin from the feet up
I know, i got 2/3 MRI Q's wrong on it and was like shoot. Can't blame all on NBME, but one MRI Q was like a Mother F**ker.. 3 weeks before the exam and yestderday was my base exam.
Lol i heard the questions are written terribly. Thanks for the input! Will keep yall updated on how it felt on Weds
How predictive is combank assessment? high 500s is fire dude you still have a ton of time left. Especially if you havent reviewed OMM. Keep grindin. What is your goal score for Step and Comlex
Everyone on here is gonna crush it! You got baller scores already and youre only gonna go up man
Ive been at 73% overall for UW since I started. Finished Rx with 73% so I have literally not gone up from low 70s for months. Haven't checked 10 day percentage where do I see that?
Damn you're going to crush it.
Yeah I honestly don't understand why it would be so complicated for them to set up procedures for safer testing. I'm more stressed about rescheduling than them actually cancelling my test; I would imagine there's going to be a huge back log of people needing to be rescheduled and I'm not sure what I'd do if I can't test until months into 3rd year.
100% agree. I'm just hoping that by middle/end of June they have it figured out one way or the other. If they can't re-open by May 1st, they need to figure out a game plan to have people test with procedures like you mentioned.
So I know that's why people usually say to take it early on, but how early would you say? I'm planning on wrapping up Rx this week and then want to do an NBME this weekend. Would doing UWSA1 ~2 weeks into UWorld be good, or should it be done earlier or later?
