Doesn't look like there has been a reference resources thread for a while.
Background: FM 2nd year taking Step 3 in 2 weeks. Failed Step 1 on the first time by about 4 points, then re took it and still did below average (214 I think?). Step 2 went better and passed on the first try, but still below average (220s I think?).
I have studied for 8 weeks doing UWorld in (mostly) Tutor Mode and got a 59%. Going back through all the missed questions now which I hope to have done before this weekend.
I am a bit worried since the 59% seems low and I failed a previous step.
I was hoping to get a review book to review some of my lower performing subjects but I don't know which to get so I'm hoping to get some recommendations. I've heard the following are good and are hoping people can chime in about what might help me the most. Remember, the plan is to do some reading in the subjects I'm weaker in, not to get through the entire thing!
Crush Step 3
First Aid for Step 3
Master The Boards Step 3
Step 3 Triage
Step-Up to Step 3
If it matters, my lowest performing categories were:
GI & Nutrition (48% 8th %ile)
Heme Onc (44% 10th %ile)
General Principles (50% 13th %ile)
Infectious Disease (50% 13th %ile)
Nervous System (58% 18th %ile)
Endocrine, Diabetes, and Metabolism (52% 18th %ile)
Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Puerperium (51% 22nd %ile)
Pulm & Critical Care (57% 23rd %ile)
Derm (57% 30th %ile)
ENT (59% 30th %ile)
Rheumatology/Ortho & Sports (60% 32nd %ile)
Cardiovascular (56% 36th %ile)
Thanks for any thoughts you guys have!!!
