Thank you!
Your UWSA and NBME avg prediction on the score predictor? The one that has a correlation of like .72 or something crazy high? or you got a 230 on UWSA2 and also on NBME 18?
It means you're going to get a 240+
I would kill for that haha
Thats 245-250+ status bro. Youre good
How did it feel compared to UWorld and new NBMEs
definitely more vague and more 50/50 then the nbmes but easier than UWORLD. It's hard to explain. I was 100% sure on a lot less questions but my insight still paid off in the long run. The NBMES in my opinion have about 15-20 more vague questions or ones that you're kinda shooting in the dark for each block. I'd say the majority of free 120 were like that. But everyone has their own experiences with it. Im hitting a wall and having to read several questions more than once.
This 100% I was freaking out about the free 120 when I took it. felt way less sure of my answers. then I checked everything and I got a straight 80 on every block. surreal feeling
Highly recommend just so you get the question style
great to hear! Let me know how it goes!
So far 95/83/x. One more block! Was the last block hard? I thought middle block was mad hard
I did best on 2nd lol
Crazy i didnt know wtf they were asking on a few. Praying i can pop at least high 80s on last block. my goal was 89%+ overall
Most people did the worst on the middle block if I recall correctly.
Congrats! do you take it Monday?
Yeah! I take it monday lol same with you?
yeah....Ready for it all to be over. Anxiety is peaking like its never peaked before
Thank you! I would literaly be on the floor with a 255 lmao Im gonna finish up chapters 1-3 of pathoma and then im officially done studying for Step 1 forever omg i thought it would never endI feel you so hard. 401 is what I was shooting for and I did a whole lot better than that. Good luck with the horrendously long wait!
You’re going to kill it. There’s no question. I am going to predict you at 255-260 between this and your previous scores.
I predict you at 256-259 and if it's within that then Calivianya has to give me some of her COMLEX pointsI feel you so hard. 401 is what I was shooting for and I did a whole lot better than that. Good luck with the horrendously long wait!
You’re going to kill it. There’s no question. I am going to predict you at 255-260 between this and your previous scores.
Dude you have killer scores remember that and know that youre going to destroy it. You should have less reason to be nervous than so many people. Youve proven with your scores youre a top performer. Id predict you mid 250s
Yay!
Appreciate the kind words. Idk why but all of my friends are underperforming significantly. Maybe ill get a good test and knock it out of the park. But I'd be fine with anything in the 240s
I would just trust your scores man. Dont worry about them they arent you. Walk in there attacking that thing and just take it one question at a time. Every high scorer i have talked to said the key is to not get wigged out when you get a string of questions you dont know gotta try and keep your cool. 80 experimental questions is a ton so just tell yourself they are experimental and odds are they probs are because if you dont know the answer then the majority of test takers dont know either
I like your positivity....my wife tells me that daily and I dismiss her. Maybe I need to start listening. Also props to her for putting up with this entire summer of no money, no place to go, and me in a separate room slaving away fro 12-14 hours a day. She's the real mvp
Ayy another dog gets let out of the pound Wednesday
Save Uworld for dedicated, but do a directed Qbank throughout the school year as you finish Anking decks.
Rx to get familiar with first Aid is what I did in the fall. Then I did Kaplan and Amboss and liked Amboss better. I left UWorld for March onward when I had already finished a bank (great decision). If I were you I would still Rx first on untimed/tutor/systems then Amboss timed random (1 to 4 hammer questions only, 5 hammer questions are ******edly hard and unnecessary) then finish off with UWorld. Depends on what your goal score is but im assuming if youre posting in this thread and you havent started M2 yet you wanna score big lol. My general advice is the more questions the higher the score. I never used anki that much but some people love it and scored really high so its up to you I just personally like to practice critical thinking more than hitting space bar
I would just add to start UWORLD a bit before dedicated. I basically completed ZANKI before, and it was just me and UWORLD, and itbasically took me the entire period to get through it. Right now we're at 3000 questions. Just keep track of that number. If they add another thousand by next year, then you certainly won't finish.
I feel you so hard. 401 is what I was shooting for and I did a whole lot better than that. Good luck with the horrendously long wait!
Thank you so much calivianya! Step 1 was last Saturday and it gave me 6 days to study for Comlex 1 . I relaxed on Sunday and studied for 4 days. I'm at my parents house so that helped me a lot. I didn't have to worry about food prep and other stuff. Let's see how well I have done. I will update you next month.
The best way to study boards pre-dedicated is to bust your ass in the classroom. You want as much of dedicated to be review as you can. You do not want to be learning new material during it. Our curriculum had Heme one and OB/Repro second year. You don't wanna miss out on that
How many questions were you unsure of per block?
