hey bunny i took my exam on 5th march too. And i used to get a mini heart attack everytime i woke up for the first few days. I missed some easy questions. I will never forgive myself for that Plus my paper had so many neuro anatomy questions with CT scans and everything!! I was a complete neurotic after the exam. Anyway good luck to everyone who's expecting their results. And to me too. InshaAllah it will be good :) few days left so why not just party till then!!

@Curaco.. No doubt it was a tough test and there were questions that i had never seen plus had a bunch of neuroanatomy questions too. But I would still say it was fair. Not all the questions were really hard neither all were simple and straightforward. And uworld helps alot.
And i didn't take any NBME online. Did UWSAs only.

Guys i know youre stressed about getting your results but can you please share what type of physio formulas where you asked to do?
e.g excretion rate etc? do you think we should write those formulas down before doing the test? i have a problem with those formulas but i dont know if im stressing too much about it, please give me your input, thanks!! ;)

Hey my paper didn't have tht many renal calculations.And everyone has a different question set :) but I guess u should just learn and memorise those formulas in FA. I did get 2-3 pharma calculation questions. Those formulas in FA arw good make sure u revise them before the test. And if you want to write them down before the test begins, then you can do that too.

hey guys cleared my step 1 Alhamdullilah!! Score is in 230s. Did alot of stupid silly crazy mistakes which could have been easily avoided. I aimed a little higher but still not discouraged and happy i came out alive!!

Well, now that i have taken the exam i can answer your question.. whether step 1 was easier/harder than nbmes? well yes, some questions were definitely ALOT harder, but they tested the same stuff that was there in u-world and all the review books. Its a fair test guys. Honestly, i missed 13 gimme questions!! the easier ones that everyone else knew.(ofcourse there were a lot more i am only referring to my very lame mistakes) Don't stress out too much about the harder ones. OFCOURSE there will be hard questions. but what's more important is you make sure you don't forget the easier ones that are right there in FA+u-world. The length of the questions was definitely longer but that was not a problem, atleast not with me as i had practiced with timed, random mode in u-world. DO NOT STRESS OUT!! DO NOT PANICK!!
