Cheesy Dorian. + UWorld and some OME for anything I need further explanations on. Not going to overload it with resources as I feel it's not necessary for Step 2.
I'm not sure tbh, this is just the one I saw most people using on here. I think it should be pretty much the same content wise.
Seems like too many cards to me, which I'm just over at this point. People have been doing fine using Dorian, so I don't feel the need to do more cards just for the sake of doing them. The AnkiKing deck is pretty much just cheesy Dorian + Zanki step 2 deck + relevant Zanki step 1 cards. I think it's just a bit much, but definitely still a good deck considering it has the same stuff and then some. I'm just over doing 30k cards, making the jump to do Dorian (11k cards) was already a leap for me as I originally planned on doing Zanki step 2 which is like 5k cards lol. TLDR, I think it's just a personal decision between those 2 and both will likely yield similar results at the end of the day.
Did you think UWSA2 was harder than an avg UW block? Or easier? heard its genetics and biochem heavy. Genetics is my all time worst subject
I didn't think it was hard except in the focus on genetics and biochem, which are my worst subjects. Honestly it felt like a mix, a lot of the stuff was super easy and like instinctual, and then there were ones I had to think about. Overall I thought it was a fair test except I don't see why the heavy biochem focus was a thing.
Yeah thats weird theres heavy biochem. Thats why i dont understand how its been so predictive if its top heavy in one or two subjects. I could see it underpredicting for anyone who is not as strong in those subjects and overpredicting for people that are baller at those subjects
I think that's likely the case? I have no concrete feelings on it's predictability because when you look at the score release threads, it's all over the place...you have people +/- 5, people +/- 10, etc. I also think it's overall hard to make a prediction because you don't know what kind of form you're going to get on the day of the test and whether it will play to your strengths or not. I am very aware of the things I suck at, and some of them I have just accepted that I will never be good at despite reviewing the material several times. I've made peace with this because I don't care to score 250+, but I can't imagine that the form you get on test day doesn't play a big role too.
LOL we are eye twins. I have everything dark - I use night mode 24/7 on all of my devices to avoid the blue light, have everything on minimal brightness (actually get annoyed that the darkest setting isn’t darker), and I only use dark backgrounds for everything. And my place is pretty dang dark most of the time too because I have a really good set of blackout curtains and only leave one panel open ever.
Because anything NBOME or COMLEX related is bull**** and a waste of time lmao. It sucks we have to put of with it
I'm taking this bad boi tmr. Not looking forward to taking an over predictor lol
Overall it has the same difficulty. I felt like some questions were vague and, not worded like uw has us used to.
Honestly If I do bad on it tmr I'm going to have to consider canceling step. Which would suck after all the work I've put in but I'd rather only have comlex then comlex and a board failure
Don't overthink and you're gonna do fine. you got this
Thanks dad
Brown recluse pops up randomly in a zanki card, but those seem super low yield. I would just know that scorpion stings can cause acute pancreatitis
I know I found that! And made sure to take note. Have never heard of these other ones.
Thanks! Didn't realize about the black widow. Is that document worth going through
Wouldn't recommend it for dedicated, bc it's like 110 pages. You can listen @ X1,75 the first chapters tho that are considered "high yield"
I feel the same way fam. Looking back over the past year there are so many things I should have done different and I kick myself all the time for it. End of the day that I try to remind myself that even though I may not have done everything right, the things I did do and the effort I did put in are still incredible. You should be proud you made it this far. Just because others have done it before or don it better. doesn't mean it isn't impressive. The 10th guy who went to the moon is just as bad a$$ as the first.
Not counting Uworld it seems to be NBME 18, 21, 24, and idk what a 4th one would be
Probably 20. Thought it was reasonable
This is a little bit too verbose, but: If 240's is not even the best you're capable of, you're going to have many, many years of a very accomplished and wonderful life! I remember several years ago I was thinking of taking some online classes (it didn't go well) but was hesitant and a guy said something that really stuck with me. He said, "my buddy was selling weed 10 years ago, he's selling weed today, and he'll be selling weed 10 years from now. And you'll be doing so many great things in 10 years." Compared to him I'll be in like in the upper eschelon, fingers crossed. It's all about the comparison group you pick and whether you want to waste energy keeping up with the Jones's.
Yeah, you just have to click not to start the next block when it asks you.
How much should u take? if you trying to simulate exam situation?
