So I finish up my last block in 3 wks time. Up until this point I have been keeping up with anki reviews in Zanki pharm, Lol micro, Zanki bchem, and Duke's pathoma (will be done with all these decks by dedicated, and will continue reviews daily thru dedicated til freedom in late June). I also have been doing Rx questions whenever I can thru the last 2 blocks (1250), but have barely touched UW (100 questions at 65% micro pharm bchem only). I am basically done with all BnB videos + FA annotating.

Anyways once the block ends, I plan on taking 5 days off and going to Fl (except from Anki), and coming back to school and taking a baseline full practice exam before resuming my dedicated period which will consist of UW random timed sets + Anki reviews, and prob polishing off remaining Rx questions.

Which exam should I take first? And then what exams should I take from there on after?
My exam date is set for June 15th.

Thank you!
 
UWSA2 and NBME 18 is supposed to be the most representative. UWSA 1 is a little overpredictive. I would save UWSA2 and NBME 18 for later and use UWSA1 as your baseline.

So I wanted to prob wait on UW ones. I plan on taking 8, which ones should I take before the 3 you mentioned?
 
Same test date as me bro! I too have the same questions as you here since we both seem to be around the same pace. Literally been doing the same as you except I been only using anki for bugs and drugs. Rx is fire for learning FA about to finish that up in 2 days. Starting UW this week gonna do 80 q per day working my way up to 120 per day on random in the morning then review in the afternoon. How many weeks were you planning to take to do UW?

Yes loving the work flow thus far.
Not really sure, however long it takes at 80 question per day rate takes me haha.

I won't start UW for 2.5 wks or so, bc I need to be done with all 4 of my anki decks, that way I only have to keep up with reviews in between doing heavy UW review.
 
@hungrydoc710 check this out-its data from a decent size pool of students with how well each one correlated to real deal. consensus is 18 is the best so save that one
