hi guys...
i am taking my exam on 25 oct...
i am done with uworld with about 65% correct(timed random)...
i am planning to take an nbme in this week...
still have to take an nbme.so, dont know how good i am...
but i am very much confident as i already had multiple readings n my strength is path n pharma which constitute a major part on the test as far as i know...
i will also be giving my exam in early weeks of october ...
Done with FA twice and now half of uworld ... random timmed ...
so far avg is 74% ... will be taking one assesment exam soon .. to check where i stand ...
hi everyone..
im giving my exam in october..done 3/4 th of uworld..
uwsa 1 score: 260
also doin kaplan qbank bcz didnt find uworld very representative for all subjects..
dont how will i wind up things in a month..
gud luck everybody
After a Series of 6 bloks in 80 s and above in uworld ... today going down to 72 in one blok .. Feeelingggg Weird .... Hoping its a one time thing ... lz:
Persistence is key ....
Thought even if you guys dont post ... i should keep on posting ... Persistence you know ....
80 is a wonderful score for uworld..n even if u score 72 in 1 block its not going to affect ur overall percentage.. so chill, u r doin good..all the best:happy:
Did UWSA 2 250 last week, wasnt concentrated but overall was ok.
Did today NBME 13 238. got 28 wrong. And most of those wrong were like WTF q's and behavioral.
Did anyone do Kaplan Sim Exam??
Hows everyones progress going so far??
i Think for score prediction NBME should be relied on ... But for simulation and practising sake uWSA will be good ...
Do you ppl also tear apart NBME qs after you do nbme .. or only use it for assesment ... as i dont get much time for this .. also explanations nd aswers ppl give can be confusing at times ... !!
Mine is on 22nd of October. Hey choline, I suggest you DO dissect those wrong NBME questions and try to figure out where you're lacking...
By the way, have you people been practicing pictures? Man I'm struggling with that. Whenever a question demands an answer directly from the picture I panic. I wish there was a common book or online source for us to practice. Some of those NBME pictures are just not fair. Histo slides, arteriograms etc. Any thoughts?
thanks for your input ..
hmmm pics as far as i am concerned .. i will rely on uworld FA Goljan pics ..
will be covering in routine .. Not specifically ..
but may be someone has better idea ..
i gave kaplan sim exam 7 hours yesterday..it was tiring..don know whats gonna happen in the real exam..its good for building ur stamina but questions are neither too long nor very difficult..will appreciate input from others

Hey! Do they provide a USMLE styled 3 digit score as well? Just curious, am about to start with Kaplan Qbank and i heard the simulation test comes along with it.
hi all,
i will be really grateful if any 1 can tell me how to calculate FEV1/FVC from a curve..i see so many questions like that in kaplan qbank..plzzzz help
You mean they asked to calculate the exact value? That's weird. Then the question must provide precise numbers on the graph. If not, the pattern of FVC/FEV1 (for obstructive vs restrictive disease patterns) can be easily deciphered from the shape of the graph (as explained pretty well in the notes). If you can post up a question that might help.
oh yeah they asked to calculate from the graph.. actually cant put that graph here, did that q in qbank..i somehow dont understand how they tell from graph that fev1 is say 1 L and fvc is 3 litres (giving the exact values)
Hi im kind of new here...im also taking my exam in october dont have date yet but after taking an nbme ill be able to decide better...right now im doing dit with uworld but its so hard to do dit and uworld together so im having trouble like how to fit in both....im going through some depressive phase at this moment lots of anxiety and trying to study but lets c how things go....will appreciate if u guys can share how u guys cope with stress... Thank you and good luck to all of us..
well i must say its impressive effort that you ppl doing qbank after completing uworld ... i would be happy even if i complete uworld and be able to do the wrong ones again By October mid before my exam ....
Wish i could be that Much hard core Geek !!!
wish you both V goodluvk ...

I wouldnt have delayed my exam if I were you after getting 224. But now that you have done it stick to the date you are going to give the exam and improve on your weaker areas.
My view point regarding your situation is Do FA once more wether its with DIT or not ... its upto you ... DIt may help ... But imp is a good solid insightful reading of FA and then revise uworld again .... But others can only give you there view point ... Its only you who can understand your situation better than others ...
so do what your heart says will bemefit you most from others advise ...
Goodluckkk
very nervous guys...
took nbme 7 yesterday n got a 230
1 month to go to my exam
can anyone advise me how to go from here...
my goal is 240+... do u think i can achieve it...?
plz help me..
thank u aks1987
are nbme 13,15 very tough compared to nbme 7...?
n should i expect lesser score in nbme 13,15 compared to nbme 7...?
i dont know,why i am scared of that nbme 15 form,i always heard people talking how scary form 15 is...
can i have any suggestion regarding this...?
Its not really that hard how people say...but it is hard. You just have to think more through the quesitons. But there were also bunch of very very easy Q's.
