Just took COMLEX Level 2 and agree it's awful. You wouldn't have been able to do much to study for some of those crap questions. Got quite a few where I felt they didn't give you enough information to choose the right answer or when you solidly knew what it was and the right answer wasn't present so you were choosing from a list of bad answers. Gladly take USMLE over that any day.

For USMLE I felt like the questions were a lot like UWorld, but the question stems in general were shorter or slightly easier to read through in a time-efficient manner. I finished all my blocks early.


COMLEX 1 - 7/11/19 - 451

COMATs 2019-2020 (DO Shelfs)
Surgery - 120 (the moment I reconsidered surgery as a career choice)
OMM - 111
Family Med 1 - 100
Family Med 2 - 113
Emergency Med - 97 (two week online block)
OBGYN - 107
Internal 1 - 99
Internal 2 - 101
Pediatrics - 106
Psychiatry - 103

Step 2/Level 2 Scores.
Uworld 1st pass: 60%
NBME 7 - 199 - 6 weeks out
NBME 6 - 228 - 5 weeks out
NBME 8 - 230 - 4 weeks out
UWSA 1 - 238 - 3 weeks out
Free 120 - 83% - 2 weeks out
UWSA 2 - 242 - 1 week out
------ USMLE 2CK - taken 6/12 - 245

------ COMLEX 2CE - taken 6/26

Wow! Looks like you’re on the road to a rad redemption story! Those are solid COMAT scores! What was your Step 1?

I'm debating doing the AMBOSS 30 day study plan (while completing my 2nd pass of UW).

I'm working slowly with my 2nd pass of OME as well. I just feel like my issue is questions right now.

Would you guys suggest the AMBOSS study plan?

I had the same exact experience.
UWSA 1: 261
UWSA 2: 259
And 255+ on NBME’s except 7 (248).

I marked quite a few and ran out of time to go over them on every block. Had 6-8 in a row on one block that I had no idea on. Kinda worried I freaked out and lost my head. My exam had a TON of risk factors and family Med stuff and not much difficult IM (bad for me). Wish I would have listened to more of those DIVINE podcasts, even though they are kinda boring. UWorld is all I mainly used and I feel like it showed on the outpatient management questions.

It is nice to see that other people are feeling this way. We have super similar practice exam scores! When did you take your exam?

Man just took it today too. I feel way worse than what I felt like after step 1. A lot of random questions on there that I couldn’t have studied for.

Yeah -- felt WAY worse than Step 1, which I was not expecting. I agree that it was stuff I couldn't have really prepared for. My friends keep asking what I would do differently to prepare and I really don't know (except I wish I had reviewed ethics).

Hi friends, just popping in here since I'm taking Step 2 next year. I feel like I've read every sdn/reddit post under the sun about Tzanki vs. Dorian, but I'm still not too sure which one to dedicate my time to. Was wondering if anyone here could share their experience on using either of those decks.

I watched this --didn't really help me unfortunately but could have depending on the nature of the questions you get. There is also an Anki deck here (which I only found after I took the test and was looking for resources for my friends):

Just took Comlex Level 2 and I’d take Step 2 again any day over that trash exam. Like what the hell did I just spend 8 hours looking at? Minute long videos of a doctor talking to a patient to set up an ethics question? Like seriously, what the hell is wrong with the NBOME? The exam was FULL of desperate attempts to test something “challenging” by basically googling random useless facts and terms and then writing THREE paragraphs to make a question out of it.

Between this and online rotations I truly have no idea what f&@king degree I’m earning.

My buddy took both of his tests last week and told me that the anki deck above covered about 90% of the ethics on both tests. Some of the cards almost word for word what they wanted.

Supposedly the Divine Podcast number 132 (?) on social sciences stuff is really spot on too. I'm planning to just hammer that anki deck a few times the week before my test.

I didn't take step 1. My mom got pancreatic cancer, and I had the unfortunate timing to be sick everyday of block study until the day before my COMLEX at which point I was diagnosed with a dairy allergy and handed an epi-pen. So I'm sincerely hoping PDs look past my lack of Step 1 and terrible COMLEX score.

I used Tzanki as my primary deck. Haven't received my score back yet, but I do think Tzanki helped me throughout the year. I'm a DO student and we do a Fam med rotation. Dorian has a FM subdeck. So I actually added Tzanki and Dorian to my anki profile and used Tzanki as the primary one, and then Dorians FM deck for FM, I also cherry picked some of dorian's stuff, including the emma holiday decks and the nbme/uwsa decks to complete after taking those practice exams. I recommend this approach.

One big plus about Tzanki is that it's not an insane amount of cards. Really for most rotations I was doing 50ish new cards a day. That's very reasonable when you're on a busy 12 hour a day service.

Hello, @Dr. USMLE helped tutor me for Step 2 CK and I only have good things to say. I was able to score very well (260+) thanks to his mentoring. I highly recommend considering a tutor, particularly Dr. USMLE if you are worrisome of performance on these high-stakes exams. Although I performed pretty well on Step 1, my large jump in Step 2 is attributed to reaching out to him. PM me for any questions regarding how it works if you are curious.

Old 120 87% (3 days out)
New 120 80% (3 days out)


New 120 was tough...Definitely seemed like what I envision Step 2 CK feeling like. Anyone else not do too hot on it and still score well on CK?

I got the 'ol COMLEX tomorrow and Step 2 two days after. I was originally supposed to do Step 2 last Friday but it got canceled on me without notification earlier in the month, but I was lucky enough to get a rescheduled date which, so far, seems to have stuck. Just sucks to have to go into Step drained after COMLEX, I'd rather do it the other way around.

Anywhoooo just finished the NEW free 120....and got dam dat shiz is crazy. I felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants the whole time. The first 10 questions were demoralizing to me, but turned out to be the worst stretch of it. In the end, I think it worked out and is on par with what I was expecting. It seems to be on par with everything else, so I guess it's time. Three days and I'm done.

I've taken NBOME material, so I'm no stranger to vague questions, but I felt like I've just experienced a whole new level of vagueness. When you take a super vague presentation, and turn it into a 4th order question...*clap* *clap* *clap*....well played NBME...well played.

After a few week hiatus to reset my brain I got back in the saddle yesterday. Test day is 8/21 and August will be a true dedicated for the first 3 weeks. Reset UWorld and started going through my Dorian reviews. There is nothing in the world that gets me more ecstatic than missing a UWorld question a second time, or better yet, missing a question I got right the first time lol.

Nice! I thought about pushing my exam back to August but kind of got scared given the rise in Covid cases and the thought of Prometric screwing everything up again.

DO student.

Step 1: 236

Practice exams in the two weeks prior to Step 2 were upper 240s to low 250s

Step 2: 238

I have no idea what to do right now. I've only ever wanted to match EM, and after getting a decent Step 1 score last year I feel like I just shot everything out the window with this crap Step 2 score that showed hardly any increase from last year. This is not even to say how Step 2 will likely be regarded more highly by PDs this year compared to those in years past due to the restrictions on SLOEs.

Came out of the exam feeling like ****. Can't believe I did that poorly.

Any advice on what to do from here to salvage what I can and match into EM would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Sorry if I'm coming off as dramatic I'm just a bit shocked right now and feel like I could have just flushed all my hard work down the drain.

I know people who had lower Step 1, CAME DOWN on Step 2 AND FAILED level 2 but STILL matched EM. You’re good, seriously, you’ll match. Get a solid SLOE and you’re beyond golden. Don’t stress.

Congrats on the awesome scores! What are some of the high yield things to review the last day or so? General trend seems to be Divine miltary podcasts, biostats, ethics, pediatric immunodeficiencies, transfusion reactions, etc?

You’ll be just fine bro. I’ve been told point blank by a PD in a competitive surgical sub that they only care that you don’t score lower. Especially this cycle I don’t think a 2 point increase will impact you negatively in the slightest.

Click to expand...

Thank you!! I would definitely review immunodeficiencies. There were at least 2-3 questions per block. Biostats was fairly straightforward for me and ethics there were some questions you just can't prepare for but were easy to narrow it down to 2 answers.

I highly recommend Divine Intervention podcasts (risk factors and military especially). I reviewed them 2 days before the test and I got a few questions correct because of them.

Overall I did not think the test was terrible. 60% of it was straightforward, 30% of it was a familiar concept but unfamiliar question/fact, 10% was ?????.

Trust your practice scores and you'll be okay! Best of luck to you.

Both of my step scores are just average but damn did I work hard for them. Just wanted to give a shout out to anyone who got shell shocked by NBME 7. I took it two weeks out and scored 200. I about lost my mind. Took UWSA2 a week later and scored 247. Real deal was slightly lower but still respectable.

Took step 2 CK on Monday, 6/22. Definitely thought it was the hardest exam of my life and I still have not recovered. Getting some reassurance from seeing other people who felt like it was crazy and still managed to do well. I am just hoping to match my step 1 score (251) at this point -- previously was hoping for 260+.
NBME 7 248
UWSA 1 258
UWSA 2 265

Thought I would pass along some thoughts while they are still in my head...
1. I did 2 passes through UWORLD and I wonder if that gave me a false sense of what the test would feel like as my second pass average was 90% and DEFINITELY did not know 90% of the actual exam.
2. Figure out your weak points and work on those. I am very bad at ethics questions and I had a handful that I am quite sure I answered incorrectly. Would not have taken much work for me to sit down and review some ethics content but I didn't do it! Still kicking myself.
3. This is not step 1. Much less memorization and much more applying concepts to situations you have never seen. Trust your gut -- if you have done a year of clinical rotations, you probably do have a sense of what to do. I second guessed myself much more than I normally do and changed several correct answers to incorrect.

Thanks for the reply. I think I just had a little bit of a freakout yesterday because I underperformed by 10 points. Doesn't help that I probably spend too much time on SDN/Reddit where the scores are definitely skewed, and most of the posts about EM talk about how either the specialty itself is in freefall or how hypercompetitive it's gotten. Plenty of people have matched with far lower scores than I have currently, and my strength tends to be on rotations when I get face to face time anyways so I just need to crush my audition and apply broadly!

Step 2: 270, Level 2 TBD (cuz while the NBME is getting scores back in half the time, NBOME is doubling how long it takes lolz)
New F120: 88% (1 day out)
UW2: 271; Old F120: 93% (4 days out)
NBME8: 261 (10 days out)
UW2: 264 (3 weeks out)
NBME6: 239 (4 weeks out)
NBME7: 245 (5 weeks out)
Step 1: 26X
Level 1: 75X
UW First Pass: 82%
AMBOSS First Pass: 80%

Shelf Exams (COMATs)
Medicine: 133 (99th)
Family Medicine: 114 (91st)
Psychiatry: 116 (94th)
Surgery: 116 (94th)
Pediatrics: 124 (99th)
Ob/Gyn: 113 (90th)

Used UW (1 pass + incorrects/missed), AMBOSS (90% done), COMQUEST (90% done), Anki (matured about 14K WiWa/Dorian cards and made about 2000 cards myself over the year), Divine Podcasts (step 2 review series + a few HY episodes, I think 37/97/184 and military), and OME (only did during year for shelf exams, wasn't specific enough for dedicated and a couple errata actually made me miss UW questions). The last week I also did one NBME practice shelf exam a day (2 in each specialty except FM; the new forms 5 and 6) because my school does COMATs; I think that helped to see more NBME-style questions. 5 weeks of dedicated but had medicine and surgery shelves last so just did timed random UW blocks like i was kinda in dedicated. Just did 120-200 questions a day with review and went for a walk twice while listening to Divine. Nothing special there. Would tear up dubs on Call of Duty every night. Didn't go balls to the wall like Step 1 dedicated.

Didn’t feel terrible or great coming out, mostly just happy with being done. Test felt most like a mix of UW, New Free 120, and who tf knows questions NBME-style; marked on average about 5-12 questions per block. Go through the Divine notes which are found on Reddit the morning of your test. I didn't have as many questions from that as others, but some friends said they got up to 10-15 questions from the Divine Risk Factors google doc. Felt more difficult than Step 1. 50% was gimme or near-gimme, 25% took a little thought but could get to the answer or choose between 2, 20% was down to 3+ answers with an educated guess, and 5% was like that "wat" old lady meme.

In descending order of "likeness", Step 2 felt most like New F120, UW2, UW1, NBME7, Old F120, NBME8, and NBME6. Don't do the NBME's for predictive purposes, rather use them as a study tool.

Level 2 was a total **** show. I can’t believe this test is being used to license doctors. 20% of it was weird ethics that only a small part was covered in the Turn Up deck or DirtyMedicine videos. A lot of gimmes. I ended up just blasting through it because I was so over the NBOME’s crap. I studied for about 1 hour the day between my Step and Level for OMM. That was plenty. I think no more than 2 days should ever be taken between the tests. Didn’t do any Level 2 practice tests We’ll see how I did though. Don’t get my score back til early August.

Hindsight is 2020
Things I would have done differently: not done COMQUEST during the year and just did UW. Then do incorrects/missed like I did but try to do UW again and then AMBOSS questions that are 2-4 hammer in difficulty (the 1 hammers are gimmes and the 5 hammers are way too nitpicky), depending on how time would have shaken out. Would have done Divine podcasts throughout the year and not tried to watch any OME videos during dedicated. Also would have preferred to not have a pandemic to deal with.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have either here or DM.

Christ. I feel like I got utterly smoked. First two sections I thought: "This isn't too bad...."

...but I spoke waaaaaayyyy too soon. Got thoroughly smoked afterward.

Yep. I now understand how everyone else felt. Definitely felt worse than Step 1. Definitely missed quite a few easy ones because of overthinking.

TFW:
1. It seems like you're guessing every other question
2. You go 0/2 on getting the first part of the "two-part" questions right......ugghhh lol that was demoralizing! Both examples of overthinking.


I don't drink often, but today definitely is one of those days. *Cheers*

Is there no score release schedule? I can't seem to find anything about it.

Mine was the opposite.. I got wrecked the first two blocks. Felt like I settled in but still missed some that are crushing my soul. Flagged 10-12 a block.

2. You go 0/2 on getting the first part of the "two-part" questions right......ugghhh lol that was demoralizing! Both examples of overthinking.


I don't drink often, but today definitely is one of those days. *Cheers*

Is there no score release schedule? I can't seem to find anything about it.

Mine was the opposite.. I got wrecked the first two blocks. Felt like I settled in but still missed some that are crushing my soul. Flagged 10-12 a block.

People have been getting their score 2 weeks after. We gotta trust our practice scores. Until then, try to enjoy the time away from studying. Unless of course you have Comlex coming up (like me). I needed a day or 2 to regroup after
