God bless, thanks for experience. it is really helpful for us with upcoming exam. especially that you don't have a score yet. thank you again hope you get what you deserve.
i am glad about you opinion on drug adds, cause it really freaks me out imagining them on my long exam.
what about time issue again were you able to finish in time luck for nbme, it was like UW blocks or compare with anything in question length.
also: would you advise doing NBME 2 and 3 also i have done 4 and 6. and not planning to do any more. just thinkin about simulating exam with two nbmes.

thank you. enjoy your normal life now.

 

hi

thanks a lot for sharing your exp .....
if you don't mind i have some questions , can you compare it UW i mean in the level of difficulty ? how about NBME are they really outdated and there is no relation to exam ???
what is the most thing you find it useful in the last few days b4 the exam ?


thanks

 

May I ask how did you get NBME scores if you have done them offline

 

Hi everybody,

So sorry for the late replies, I was out of town.

@tamta: time was not an issue at all. The question length was similar to UW. I feel that NBMEs are outdated, so in my opinion since you've already done 2 of the better ones, you don't need to do the older ones. Just my opinion.

@EMMY24: well, some questions in my exam were hard, and some were easy. And some were like WTF questions. I guess UW is really the best resource for this exam. In my opinion, NBMEs are too easy. As was UWSA. But just my opinion. I would still recommend doing the NBMEs just as an assessment tool. As for your second question: while I was doing my last read, I was making a list of forgettables at the same time. I also included those things which I found hard. I just reviewed that list on the last day, as well as some dermatology images on google, and ekgs and heart murmurs.

@SuperSonic: there was this table for converting scores...i believe it was on scribd.com, I actually don't have that link anymore, or I would post it here.

If you could help me with my queries...
1. i dont have time for doing KL for paeds , so opting for MTB 2N3 and UW. Do u think it will be enough?

2. Bio stats.. are d questions same like step one.?

3. i am almost done wid UWORLD for the first time. My avg says 60% but 30th percentlie. Have only two mnths to go.. What shud i infer from ds?

4.In the end .. i just want to know is ds exam doable with compl MTB2 N 3 n uw n readind kaplan once ??

5 oh yes .. About the drug ads and the absracts? What r they and where to do them from..??
6.The length of the questions......? Everybody is tellin me that the questions line from ten to twenty lines with twenty choices:toosad::scared:......IS ITREALLY TRUE??

THANKS A TON ..

I know they are too many questions....

God bless N Good luck..IA U will do good ..

 

Hey mission 13,

You don't need to apologize for asking questions, I am happy to help.

1) I did not do KLN for Pediatrics either. I just did MTB 2 and 3 along with UW. It seemed sufficient in my opinion.

2) Ummmm, the questions in my exam had less calculations, and more of concept application. In my Step 1 exam, I had more calculations, so I can;t really compare. It is a weak subject of mine, so I found it hard both times.

3) Use UW as a learning tool. Are you done with it completely? Do go through the explanations. They solidify your knowledge.

4) There have been people with stellar scores who used only the resources you mentioned.

5) I found drug ads really hard in UW, but easy in the actual exam. UW should be enough for this.

6) Question length was similar to UW. Did not have any question with 20 choices

Hope this helps. Good luck with your exam
