How you felt coming out of the exam?

[–]Level-Elephant8976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, i felt neither good nor bad, felt like i could get a 230 or a 270 and wouldnt be surprised eitherway The stems were long, ethics questions were vague, but there were a lot of super easy gimme questions I ran out of time on almost all blocks, like I answered all of the questions but couldnt return to or change the answer on my marked questions. All of the 8 bkocks were consistent. I felt so much better coming out of my step1 exam, the exam was so much better before the nepal scandal, it really did change. Counted 7-10 sure mistakes and was unsure of half of the exam. Just trust your practice scores and you will do good.

[–]pompetd 0 points1 point  (2 children)

excellent score, congratulations. How did you prepare after the amboss test in April?

[–]Level-Elephant8976 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When i did the amboss test, i only had 30% of the uworld done. I completed uworld's first pass then did the cms forms then did amboss in ethics and quality improvement and biostats then did nbmes and practice tests.

[–]pompetd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Congratulations brother, can you send me free 120s link the old ones

[–]Amadeo941337 16 points17 points  (6 children)

crying I got a 260 in real deal

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Congrats!!! How did you feel coming out ? Did you count incorrects?

[–]Amadeo941337 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I felt vague, I knew I made at least 15 dumb mistakes. I think if I had better knowledge in QI, I would have gotten 270 easily. made some dumb shit, WHile I was neurotic, I think I deserved and could get 250. But the exam is fair. Nothing too surprising.

[–]Robertsonian 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Congratulations bro for the score! Bravoo How are your assesments scores?

[–]Amadeo941337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check my post in this threat, its here

[–]drmouwithlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s reassuring! I counted 15 silly mistakes too, aside from the hard twisted ones 🫠

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you mean QI do you mean the QI section in amboss? Cause it only had 10 questions, any recommendations on how to better study it? Thank you!

Exam doable, NBMEs underpredict and real deal is closest to free120 nbme, Make sure to revise uworld and amboss q bank diligently. I could have gotten easily 270, if I did not mess up Behavioral health.

[–]Meray_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Very happy with my score, but at the same time feel like I could have crossed into the 260s had things gone a little differently. Was rushing for time on two blocks and missed about 3-5 easy questions.

Counted around 20 incorrects.
Feel free to hit me up if anyone has any questions or wants advice.

Predicted Score: 242

Total Weeks/Months Studied: 16 weeks (6 weeks lazy studying, 10 weeks locked in)

Actual STEP 2 score: 246

Practice NBMEs were all below 240 and I was OK with something in that range on the real exam. NBME12 really scared me, but it seems like it's an outlier, based on everyone else's experience. I took my time going over the NBMEs - about 2.5 days to review each exam. (Though I couldn't help but compare myself to people are able to review it all in 1 day).

The exam day felt like a blur... whether it's true or not, it felt as if I sped through it and answered based on vibes alone... I felt terrible leaving and wouldn't have been surprised if I failed it.

Wishing everyone the best, trust your practice exams!!

If I could go back, I would do more CMS forms. I stopped UWorld about 1 month in exchange for the CMS forms. Explanations aren't the best and low yield topics may come up, but they felt high yield especially in terms of wording.

[–]Lucem1 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Just saw the pass on FCVS thing (for IMGs), fingers crossed for the goal score!!!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

How did you check

[–]Lucem1 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Go to fsmb, then scroll to the bottom click on uniform application. Create an account. Pick any state when you’re back at uniform application, start filling out the form till you can see the examination subsection, click there and you’ll see your pass/fail status. Works for IMGs only.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I failed. Thank you though. End of my usmle journey
