This is why I haven't been putting too much time into in-depth analysis. Most of what I get wrong is already in Zanki, I just forgot it or haven't gotten to the card yet. I figure by the end of dedicated I should have seen everything and hammered out my weak points/stuff I consistently forget.
For Rx I did 40 and reviewed as I was going through on tutor mode untimed and by First Aid system. Start UW on monday and my plan is starting with 80 questions timed random straight through then spending the time in the afternoon/night reviewing afterward
Pretty much gave up on my first specialty that was ultra-competitive for something not even competitive at all. I used to be such a gunner but i think thats been sucked out of me.
Rads is fire. sick pay sick lifestyle lots of cool path
Yeah thats pretty awesome especially since your dx skills make the final call for a lot of patients. Have you thought about IR or mostly DR
laugh of the day
My thought exactly lol
the person name is still in the link. Id suggest takinf it out
Fixed
think things will be more stable by then (fingers crossed)
**** no, I've been working my ass off to get a good score and I will continue to do so. I hate that they're trying to get rid of objective measurements and meritocracy.
Of course they would. Those kids that want pass fail now are prob at top tier MD schools where their numerical score means so much less solely because of where they go. F that lol I need my Step score to carry me which is why i am going HAM
I will literally lose it.
My SO makes me study less. Cuddle breaks last way too long
It's even harder with loved ones sad and crying because they are scared and people getting laid off. Just a horrible situation all around. And we have it easy compared to the rest
Duuude same. since the match lists have came out I haven't been able to focus at all either. Watched like 6 hours of netflix yesterday by accident
Im taking today off too and an NBME tomorrow as well. Which one you taking? I was thinking of NBME 13 or 15
Been going a little crazy. I normally study at home but having the breaks to get up and go to school or something for an hour definitely broke up my day more. I'm getting the boards stuff I want done, but have been majorly slacking off in classes. On the bright side, my school announced a move to P/F for the rest of the semester, so it probably doesn't matter anyways lol
P/F for rest of year thats fire!
Nice! I heard 20 is the hardest. My one buddy that took Step 1 already said he almost threw his computer when he took 20 lol. I plan on taking one of the earlier ones tomorrow like 13 or 15 and then towards the exam gonna take UWSA2 Free 120 and NBME 18 and that is probably it honestly. The NBMEs dont have explanations so I won't be doing too many of them. All they really do is tell me where I am at and I heard 18 is the only one that is really that predictive. The other ones are just soul crushers and under predict just what I heard lol
I have shifted to this train of thought too. Originally wanted to do as many as possible, but knowing that there's no explanations for what you get wrong, the fact that people say they aren't that similar to Step, their price, and their terrible score predictions, I feel like my time is better spent putting more energy into UWorld.
lmao couldnt have said it better myself. Especially the price.... robbed. Heard UWSA2 is spot on exactly so saving that as well
Yup, it's rough right now but I'm working through my last couple hundred of new cards so my reviews should decrease significantly within the next few weeks. By the time I hit dedicated, I'm hoping they're about half what they are now
