gonna study for 1 day beforehand and thats about it. Rip through OMG OMT vids once on 2x speed
Stop making up words please, I already have to memorize enough of them
i think alot of the stuff is in FA cuz ive done it too. just random factoids from the text tbh
I started using it at the beginning of the semester, and I stopped without even using 1/3 of it. I was getting 30-50% correct per block. It was too depressing for me. It teaches you to overthink stuff. Things have been much better with Uworld. When I finish Uworld, I might go back and check the 1-2 hammer questions out (3-4 hammer ones are ridiculous).
Also, I don’t think 230 scorers are racing to reddit to brag about their score. Super respectable performance, but you’re going to get a very targeted population when looking at reddit threads.
Haha same!!! I'm setting my lowest expectation at 220. Eventhough I'm aiming at anything above 230, I will still celebrate hard if I get a 220+.
Amboss is notoriously really really difficult. I heard if you do the 1-3 hammer questions theyre actually pretty good. 5 hammer is a waste of time theyre way too hard and not representative of the real exam lol
Strong work! 230 on any NBME is really good and thats a nice climb from 207. PS4 trophies are dope btwJust thought I’d wander in.
I got divorced last summer between OMS-1 and OMS-2 (he found someone else, cheated, and left me for her) and it was so soul-destroying that in hindsight, I should have taken a leave of absence for a year. I feel like I learned absolutely nothing - I pumped and dumped for literally every single test during OMS-2, and I played a lot of video games. Good news is I have a bunch of new trophies on the PS4... bad news is literally nobody but me cares about my PS4 trophies.
Finally realized how far behind I was when I took NBME 13 on 4/3 and scored a 400/207. I’ve pulled it up some since then - 5/16 took NBME 15 and scored a 510/230, but I know I’m still not rock solid yet. Might have just been a lucky test.
I take another NBME on Saturday (starting the new ones now) so we’ll see how that goes.
I’m doing DIT so I can at least learn the high yields, with as much uworld as I can fit in (some days none), but I’m putting DIT first because I literally have major content knowledge gaps and at least it’s relatively comprehensive. Hoping to finish DIT at least a week before my tests but we’ll see how it goes.
Anyone else here doing DIT? I really love it, honestly.
haha sounds like kaplan. The questions they ask sometimes are absurd and frankly annoying af. I still end up doing them so i should stop complaining lmaoo
It's hard to tell because people take it at different points of their studying. Some people take it as a baseline and then it's supposed to be more in line with where you'll be by the time you sit for the test from what I've heard? I've heard it can overpredict anywhere from 10-15, some people say by 20. Who knows. Either way that's a solid score.
I took it 4 weeks out, and it over predicted by 8 for me. I think some of the over/under predicted hype gets exaggerated for several of these. Congrats!
id say 15 points absolute max. youre def in 240s. my friend got a 266 on UW1 close to her exam and got a 253 real deal. Overpredicted or not a 260+ on anything is damn baller score bro
Yes AMBOSS is insane. I did like 1/4 on 3-5 hammer only before starting Uworld and I thought I was gonna fail step my average was in the low 50s. I will say I think it’s great for getting you to Decipher between conditions that can present similarly and picking up little details.
Yay! The only thing I would watch out for is if you heavily did the Blue galaxy expansion deck. It could sway your score a few points. But still awesome!
They're rough lol. Some of them are fine but some are extremely vague like you say, to the point where I almost have no idea what they're trying to go for. Answers are typically all over the place for those ones though, like 30% picked one and 20% picked another etc so I don't feel too bad?
Same just got a string of like 4 in my last block 😛
Sometimes this happens to me and I dont even notice lol. One block wayyyy back in the day, like early march, I got 3 questions wrong and they were all about PCOS, but I never even considered PCOS when answering them.
