Yeah your golden you were rocking the new forms so i wouldnt worry. I scored the same on 18 and UWSA2 so now I have no clue and my UWSA1 was 6 above those and I know that one for sure overshoots
Its all a crap shoot. Could have done well below average or knocked it out of the park. I really can't even tell. Ill stress when I see my score lol
I felt that my % correct on 18 was the most predictive. The 3-digit score is a bit off because the curve has gotten ridiculous (I scored 8 points better on the real deal ~1 week later) but I would venture a guess that my % correct was probably similar; obviously that's a guess as no one knows how they grade the real thing but those are just my thoughts. 18 felt like the real thing to me in the sense that there were a lot of ones that seemed almost painfully easy, and then those that were 50/50, and then those complete curveballs. That's how the real thing felt to me.Thank you both, I'm hoping it looks the most like 18But I know the form varies. Just suffering a case of 1-wk-out anxiety!
Dude that's scary. Do you mind if I ask you what your practice NBME and UWSA scores were?
Dude thats mad annoying! You didn't fail bro you got an 80% on the free 120. Can you direct me to the reddit thread that has the score release for today? lol
Yeah I am a strong believer that the new NBMEs are NOT predictive. They just felt like the real deal to me that doesn't mean that the new NBME scores will correlate it was just how vague everything felt that is all. I wouldn't put too much stock in your new NBME scores.The majority of people score much better on the real thing. Ive even linked a video in this thread at one point that was from the head tutor of a professional USMLE tutoring company that discusses how the new NBMEs are not predictive and how they underpredict for the vast majority of people
I don’t have a link to score release, it was just someone making a post asking where the F their score was lol
This sounds so familiar. I spent the past week moving and just got internet today. Pretty sure I gained 10 pounds from all the takeout/road food I ate so I could pack my whole kitchen and not worry about it. I don’t start rotations until mid-September and I’m feeling totally lost in the sauce about what I’m supposed to be doing before then.
Congrats on being done, even though I know you’re disappointed. I think you’re going to be fine. IM really does have a huge range, and not all programs only take superstars. Not all programs with lower averages are malignant either, and there’s always step 2! There are literally tons of posts on reddit of people who have done 30+ points better on step 2 than step 1, like this guy.
UWSA2 if you haven't taken it- performance on that caused me to push back 1 month. If you have, I'd take the free 120 even though it's not super predictive if you bomb it, you bombed Step 1-like questions. if you've taken that or don't want to I'd take 18 or 24. I'd personally also take 7 UW blocks if I hadn't finished UW and see how I average out across the 7 blocks.
Watch Boards and beyond/pathoma vids on those subjects and also prioritize practice questions on those subjects in UWorld or Amboss (dont do the 5 hammer questions way too unnecessarily hard). Practice questions are king-they help you apply the concepts you read/watch in ways youll see on the exam
Bro you were predicted in the 250s for Step lol comlex sucks because its long and poorly structured but I mean you literally have nothing to worry about! Just walk in and take it brah
What'd they ask you???First day on surgery today lol got pimped 17 times in a row within the first 15 mins
all gallbladder questions lol thank God I just took step. One that stood out was what percent of patients get gallbladder disease in the US
I don't know the answer to question 1 but I think it's very likely that 7/16-7/20 (and likely days after) will be getting their tests back on 8/5 at 11:00EST
Damn....that's specific lol
So crazy how quick these turnarounds are
Wait what!!! the 7/25 people could be tomorrow!!!
If your permit is gone
