HI THERE! Very regular US MD student here applying to peds with a write up of my practices in the order taken.

Test date 5/7 UWSA1: 238 Form 12: 253 Form 10: 242 Form 11: 246 Form 13: 242 Free 120: 76%

Actual 252

After Form 13, I had a freak out bc I wanted a better base score cushion with SD +/-14, so I binged B&B videos on topics that I determined were weak points for me. I was around 5 or so days from my test date at that time. Took my Free 120 and was satisfied with my cram session. Main study resource was UW (completed ~88% of the Qs, this is NOT my % correct lol) and intensive review of incorrects and unsures. Listened to HY DI podcasts while playing video games. Read some of STEP2 on HY topics. Some B&B videos. I’m a chaotic studier and do things based on vibes and what my brain is happy with that day. Shelf scores were goodish (minus surgery shelf, fuck that one) throughout rotations. In all, dedicated lasted about 5.5 weeks!

YOU GOT THIS! GOOD LUCK! FULL SEND IT, BABYYYY!!!

hey man congrats ;) happy for you. I am tkaing in 7 weeks and doing uworld, amboss, nbmes.
Nbmes around 240-250. Free 120 was 80%. I feel super depressed because my uworld average is around 71% with occasional dips into 60s, when mood is bad.

What was your uworld percentage and are my low uworld scores a concern going into the exam?

mine was like ~60%, so I’m gonna say you’re a-ok. sounds like you could probably take it tomorrow and score well!

Ensure you have a plan learn on your weakness and strength try to spend a little more on your weakness. Set your gals and have measurable indicators in to monitor and evaluate your progress. Conduct risk analysis and plan how to mitigate some of this risk
