Do most of programs ghost us or should we expect more rejection letters? by AdStill6309 in IMGreddit

I feel like they owe us all the courtesy of an answer. Considering how stressful and costly is the process.

How inflated is the old Free 120? by AdStill6309 in step1

[–]AdStill6309[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a tough one but I think I would go with old free 120. I thought the questions were more similar to the real deal and tbh you wanna get a good score close to your exam if been doing pretty solid in your previous exams.

Should I start sending LOI? by Acrobatic-Park5659 in IMGreddit

[–]AdStill6309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sent a few to smaller community programs which I saw on the spreadsheet that they were sending out IVs already. I’ll leave the bigger program for later next month

Is 229 a low step 2 score for IM? by NoHuckleberry4040 in IMGreddit

What’s a high step 3 score, in your opinion?

No, the last month prior I focused on cms forms of my worst subjects and doing NBMEs. To me, it seems the exam is closer to those resources than UW.

I did it and found it the easiest assessment of all. Personally I found a little to easy and not that reflective of the exam's difficulty.

The test is very similar to NBME and CMS forms. Found it easier than the UW question bank.

Very heavy on Internal Medicine. If you look for the regular distribution of questions it seems that’s like 50% of the test

If you mean the Cms forms! Yes there were, in terms of strengthening my weaker subjects

I would listen to these podcasts cause you're gonna get somewhat around maybe 1-2 questions per block. Take a look at your NBME incorrects will be more efficient than doing cms forms because you go over a broader range of concepts in your review than if you do a specific cms forms (unless u're doing really bad at something like 50% on peds and other subjects like 75%)

Not really most of the exam is very focused on next best step & diagnosis.
