You got this bro. Positive thinking only! Youre going to do really well-just keep thinking about how you murdered the free 120
Maybe, but I doubt I would've gotten my score without it. Either way, my point was more that if you are interested in using flashcards, I think a premade deck is better than trying to make your own. Just my opinion either way.Because you did questions and lot of them
Most high scorers don't finish Zanki.
How many weeks do you have before you have to take? Do you have a deadline by your school? Is that 62% timed random or tutor untimed? 230+ is definitely without a doubt possible eventually but I wouldnt be super confident youll hit that if you took it tomorrow or within next few days. Overall the new NBMEs are garbage predictors so i wouldnt put too much stock into 20 and 21. 24 is a decent predictor but still underpredicts for many and UWSA1 can overpredict by up to 10-15 depending on how far out its taken. Take 18 and see how that goes but put more emphasis on your percent correct than the actual score since the curve is super harsh on it. Save UWSA2 in case you want to push back then you can use that as the ultimate predictor. Regardless you should check your subject specific percentiles on UWorld and hammer those videos on Boards and Beyond and another question bank and try and get through as many of your UWorld incorrects on those topics. Do not spend time on stuff you know! Only hit weak spots
New questions>UWorld incorrects>>>>>old NBMEs. You cant learn from NBMEs they are useless other than tracking progress. You need to learn right now vs tracking progress since you know you need to improve your score slightly to hit that 230+
Good luck!!! Keep going!
GL homie!
Are bchem and neuro your weaknesses? Hammer those if they are
Dude if youre pumpin out 260s on NBMEs youre ready af for this test lol go murder it
a little bit. i think my biggest weakness are heme, renal and biostats its the only stuff i didnt really do on zanki. i think i did that well on uwsa 2 because im pretty good with neuro and biochem (granted not amazing). so im just concerned this isnt really indicative of how ill do on the real deal. we shall see next monday on 18. im also just worried im just gonna do worse on nbmes vs uwsa and i dont really know what that means.
A 260 on 18 has gotta be like 95+% correct no? You're gonna kill it.
Dont get worked up about the actual score on 18 (REALLY harsh and unnecessary curve). Just focus on the percent correct. Based on where you are at with UW and assessments I think that anywhere within the range of 70-80% correct on 18 would be a good goal for you right now and would be completely attainable
Thanks man! Yeah I had to change my date to the 27th as well! I am praying for a 250+ but anything 245+ i'll still sleep at night. Trying for as high of a tier academic IM program as possible as I'm trying to match GI after. I told my school my goal was a 250+ and they were like "uhh why? you are shooting for IM" I just don't think they realized as a DO program how competitive mid to upper tier academic IM programs are
There are not representative of what you would see on the test but it's still better than Uworld. You have get used to the NBMEs style. I wouldn't do them 2,3 days before your exam. But I would say it's better than doing Uword. Do them and make incorrect and understand why you got them wrong (this is very important).
I think you'll hit your goal bro lol so many people feel like crap after taking both COMLEX and Step. Anecdotal as it may be but all of my friends that walked out feeling amazing underperformed and the ones that walked out feeling like crap over performed. I think after that 80% free 120 you should feel good about it. Its all over now though so you can relax for a while
Good job man! I'm sure you did great. Enjoy your freedom
You're free!!! Honestly looking back at it, I wish I moved my exam up too.
Lol you probably killed it. I felt like I aced mine. Based on what I have seen reddit, most high scorers come out feeling like they tanked the exam.
Let's get the record straight here. Very few people are scoring 270. But I do agree with the general principle of what your saying aha.
Meant to say scoring instead of scored. I will edit it once I get home. Lol I have been up since 3
fml really? ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. I got an 80% on UWSA1 1 month out and have been averaging 77-87% on my UW blocks daily so Im praying I can get at least 80% overall on 2. Taking it tmrw and my exam is in a week. Think its reasonable to hit 250 on 2?
yah definitely just keep in mind that uwsa's arent that representative of real NBME's these days (seem to be overpredicting 5-10 pts)
2 felt harder! An in the end overpredicted me by 10 points. Lolz
Harder than a typical UWorld block?
+1 vote for 2 being more difficult, especially the middle blocks if I remember correctly
I literally hate hearing this lmao Im taking tmrw. I cant get psyched out lol How did it feel compared to a typical UW block
