Mine was more focused on management of the post-surgical patient especially with regards to the 4 (or 5?) F's from OME. didn't get alot of gas questions.
Quoting last weeks post for reference. Got a 118 on the IM comat. Doing the uworld cards in Dorian was a godsend. Only did maybe 300 actual uworld questions. There’s also some great videos on medcram that I used for some pulm stuff since step 2 takes pulm phys a little farther than step 1. I imagine their other videos are good too...and it’s free.
It changes at my school due to "magic" but you had to get 115+ on a particular rotation to get honors and none of the others are that high. Very strange and no explanation of course.
Just the overall score of your eval and your comat score. If you get a perfect eval, I think you can even get like a 90 comat and still get honors. 3rd year is nonsense.
Ok. My back half is straight clinic hell so it's less hours but also more exhausting and tedious. I don't think I could handle doing it twice then.
Know bread and butter stuff like glomerulonephritis, HBV. UW for COMAT is overkill. I did like 600 questions and it didn’t feel like it helped. I wish I did more COMQUEST or Kaplan because that’s the level of question you get.
I'll second this, 75-80% TrueLearn
COMQUEST - 75-80%
Guaranteed we won't get results for the COMAT tomorrow until like January 10th or some junk like that.
I took one last week so we will see
Bruh I got a 104 on my FM COMAT. So bummed, 6 points now makes my rotation a P despite all 5’s and a stellar write up in my eval. I could have had all 2’s and an 80 on my COMAT and it would translate to the SAME grade. Maddening.
It was straight garbage and in no way reflective of hardly anything. Try not to get too down about it.
Even the raccoons don’t eat comats
First comats are random crap exams so this makes it harder but here is what I did. Got >130 on all except ob and omm from this
The fact that you hit 130+ on any COMAT doing UW alone means you’re clearly more than just a hard worker. You have to be a freaking master at exams and sitting on absolutely crushing step 1 knowledge to hit those numbers. Combank and Comquest suck, but they are the closest thing anyone can get to reasonable examples of COMAT questions. I did all of UW for OB and got an 87, have completely focused on Combank/Comquest and been just shy of 111 on every test since. For any future readers... Uworld is for Step 2, but it’s miles from any of the trash on the COMAT exams.
I didn’t even know they could go that high. Was feeling pretty good beating 115 lol
Agree that its random crap. I did everything that you mentioned for Psych and even more (also did truelearn + anki for psych) and yet i got only 100 (unlike your >130). So it makes me think it's not only about random crap, but also about how good you are and how perfect ace your test game. I'm clearly nowhere as good as you. Basically, what i mean is that let's face it: it's not about resources (it is to some degree of course) or any other little secret anki deck or such lol, it's just about simple forgotten facts (at least here on sdn) that we are all different and some of us are more crappy or less stellar.
This is bad advice. Uworld is NOT the best resource for comats, almost everyone at my school agreed that it was great for step 2 and really awful for comats. Your ability to score at the 100th percentile speaks more to your test taking ability and less to the resources you used. Congrats on being a genius.
I can’t conjure up knowledge from nowhere. If people think uworld is a poor resource it is due to them forgetting not to the resource itself
