(cause lol at medical school curriculum).ĭuring dedicated I've pretty much just done a second pass of UW, around 120-160Q's a day, and watched B&B videos of my weaks areas, as well as re-watch Pathoma, and read FA cover to cover. Of coursing during the school year I also used Pathoma/FA/Sketchy/B&B to actually learn the material as well. By the time dedicated came around I finished my first pass of UW in 4 days of dedicated. Starting January I continued to do that, as well as doing 20 random UW questions a day (only from blocks I had already done, after I took a unit test that would get added to the randomized pool of UW questions). The majority of my prep came during M2, which I completed the Zanki deck along with my studies, as well as all of the organ specific blocks of Kaplan. I found UWSA much easier than practice NBME's. I'm not counting the UWSA's because they are far away from any of my NBME's (275 on UWSA2 was 1 day before 257 on NBME18, for example). My score has only gone up 13 points from the start of dedicated to now on NBME's. I take my test in just a tad over a week, and trust me I'm counting the days haha. I think what I’ve learned is basically -ġ) Keep at it even if it you’re not scoring what you’d hope.Ģ) spend the time to really consider what you did wrong outside of having a knowledge deficit. I’m hoping to see some more improvements when I do 16 in 2 days. When I did 15, I made sure to slow down and double read the question and stem and eliminated answer choices if I could find even one thing that was wrong with it.ġ5 itself seemed a lot less tricky than 13 did so that probably helped a bunch too. I always had it narrowed down to 2 and I missed something in the stem that would have helped me to pick the right answer. The stems on the nbmes are really simple and straightforward, but the answer choices suck big time. After doing my review of 13, I found that my biggest mistake throughout was second guessing myself. When I did nbme 13 though, I finished each of the 50 question blocks with literally 15-20 minutes left and I didn’t think it went as bad as it did. I noticed that UWorld often has really hard stems, which was evident based on how much time left I had in each block (sometimes as little as 30 seconds left to answer my last question). Making the transition from UWorld questions to nbme questions was I think the big factor.
