Uworld : unused and incorrect

[Loanna]

Hello everyone!I did Uworld as I was going through the material and in some cases, e.g pharm., micro.,etc I would take my incorrect questions, immediately after I completed the respective subjects.I didn't do it with everything, but since I finished it yesterday I plan to see again the rest of the questions I took wrong starting today!So, I was wondering if anyone has done sthing similar, and what does the percentile that Uworld shows me actually represent?Thanx in advance for your clarifications!!

Hey I constantly go back and make sure I'm learning from my incorrect questions (or any questions that i happened to guess right on). It's helping me learn and it gives me a self esteem boost when i get a question right that i previously had no clue to.

the percents at the bottom of the questions indicate the number of ppl who answered correctly on their FIRST try. it is there to show the difficulty of the question (i'm sure you knew that tho)

It definitely makes me feel better too!!I meant the percents at the ''cumulative performance'' section...I think they overestimate my performance if they take into account the tests with the incorrect questions...

my 2 cents:
yes, they(UW) increase the score if you do the incorrect ones; the new percentage doesn' reflect your real score. I guess that only if do them timed/first time, you'll have a real estimate.

additional 2 cents: all depends on whether you want to use UW as a learning tool vs. a measure of progress. either way should work.
