Hi
I had my exam on Mar.17
Overall I found it easier than NMBE 15/16 and USMLEWORLD. I found the first 2 blocks harder than the remainders. While I was checking my answers postexam: around 15 mistakes! but also I did answer some more difficult q.s correct.
I can't expect what mark I'll get, but I keep telling myself there are many experimental q.s and not every wrong q takes a mark...
All in all, I am praying that I would be happy on this coming Wednesday.
I guess everyone has the similar feeling that wrong ques keep coming on the mind until result comes, my exam was similar to NBMEs good mixture of easy and tough ques, Overall I have a feeling that i managed them well, hoping for the best,
how were ur scores in assessments and NBMEs ?
Well I took 2 nmbes but at inappropriate timing. I mean I just wanted to know the type of questions that I'll face at the real exam rather than an assessment! I mean I took them while still not ready (while studying!)
UW q bank first time76% though!
What about you?
@ doctor drake
If you have sufficient time then give goljan a read because of its integrative approach , otherwise pathoma does a very decent job for patho... uworld and first aid covers almost everyhitng you need to know for exam..
Rohit Kumar the NBMEs you did offline did you sit and verify all the answers on the net etc or did you just use them for self assessment and not bother finding the concept behind some of the weird questions on NBME.
i tried to do that but found it really time consuming.
my exams in 50 days.
thanks pranav merchant..
I checked the answer discussions on usmleforum.com page for my wrong answers and some other tricky ones , i used them mainly to keep myself aware of exam pattern and get used to it , and doing so I learned things which really helped in my exam , try to do as much nbmes as you can...
@doctor drake
first aid and uworld covers almost everything in that part.. but i will advise you to see the last video of kaplan neuroana which contains MRIs and cross section etc one week before your exam..
that post i visited was already prolonged due to last week results .. thats why made this one.. lets gather here ..
share ur experience and assessments, how was ur exam ?
timing was major issue in the exam.. i dint get time to review back the tick qs! and with passage of day finding new mistakes.. just wish the wait gets over soon nd results come good! have u started step 2 ck.. i just cnt do much in it!
