UWORLD Assessment #2

[FA2013ismylife]

I just scored a 211.

How accurate is this based on the information the majority of you have read about.

My exam is 7 days away.

I will take NBME# 15 in two days, but I failed the USMLE Step 1 one year ago...I fell into depression for almost the entire last year. 🙁

The fear/panic inside of me is driving me insane. I wish I had studied harder this past year. I only started studying frivolously this past month.

I hope this at least gets me a pass. Ive been on this exam for too damn long. Its time for me to get this over with.

I hope this was positive for me.

UWSA1 matched my score exactly.

UWSA2 overshot me by two points. However, UWSA exacted my NBMEs11+13, which were 8 and 4 days-out, respectively.

I had seen stats on the 2012 scores thread where the UWSAs had overshot people significantly (and consistently). But for me, they were spot-on, and I had sat them both 1.5 months-out.

If you want an accurate prediction, sit an NBME exam. The UWSAs are not known for their specificity.

You'll probably pass, but your score won't be anything special. It really depends on your goal.

Thanks for the response bro. You are a stand up gentleman, God blessed you with the great mind you have because of your character and hard work.

I have shadowed this forum for quite some time and only started posting today when I needed some advice. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me.

I will take the NBME 15 4 days out from my exam as well. I hope it gives me the confidence to go into this exam.

I know I cant hit a 230-250, but even hitting a 210-220 is satisfactory for me for the time being.

I promise myself that I will rock a 230-250 on Step 2 CK to make up for all of this time wasted.

Thanks again dude. You lifted my spirits today.

Sincerely, a friend from the United States.

I just sat NBME 15 and hit a 207 (440). For the longest time I felt like an idiot but nothing is impossible.

I know this isnt what most people expect to see but for me it is satisfactory enough for me to go into this exam on Friday.

Thank you for the motivational words two days ago.

Now to go over these answers and see where I made my mistakes.

I hope the day of the exam I can squeeze this up to a 210-220.

To everyone who want to succeed on this exam, you must study.

Cut out the people in your life who distract you.

People are not evil, its just hard to juggle friendships and take in bull**** information everyday.

I would study for 7 hours a day while filling my mind with useless information from the internet, pretending to care about studying and party my ass off while smoking weed everyday.

This is not the way to study.

You must make it a routine and wake up each and every morning remembering what you studied the night before.

The more you get used to these simple things, the easier it comes when the last few weeks tell you its time for your exam.

To those who are 1-2 months out, you have all the time in the world. You just cant waste a single moment and think Ive studied enough.. .becuase if I could go back 5 weeks, I would study 2x harder. If I had 2-3 months I would probably be scoring a 230-240.

Im glad for the first time in so long I was able to hit something positive. Its one of the best feelings inside to know that hard work pays off.

I hope to GOD that this score correlates to my exam on Friday and I will do whatever I can to constantly remind myself that you put in the work, so go get the results you want.

A simple pass is enough for me, but for the rest of you still studying for this exam, shoot for the stars and get that 230... nothing is impossible with hard work.
