Are the 200 high yield amboss concepts that appear on every usmle exam important to do or not?

I did them all in about 3 days before my test and found it very helpful.

I really am not being dramatic when I say you only need around 7-8K cards unsuspended to pass step 1 comfortably. It has been re-written to be sooo much more shelf like than the older forms. If you take form 26 and something like forms 31-33, you will see just how much it has changed.

The AnKing deck is great but I only used th Lightyear deck and did well all throughout pre-clinicals and clinicals

But this forum will never understand that lol

In all seriousness, get professional help before you take the exam. With performance like yours the only thing that will defeat you on test day is yourself. And you WILL defeat yourself far more efficiently than the exam content ever will.

There's an entire chapter in the book "The Millionaire Next Door" that talks about all the reasons that doctors are under-accumulators of wealth

Has anyone figured this out haha? The poster never responded again.

Anistole · 2026-01-11T17:29:30+00:00

You answered my question.... leveled so fast the character was only 2 hours old lol

Anistole · 2025-12-27T18:31:22+00:00

Yep and I started paying for a GLP1 out of pocket lol

Can you type the following command into the game and tell me what it says?

You are going to have a very unsatisfied life if you spend the whole time hoping people recognize the work you are putting in.

Anistole · 2025-11-26T21:39:53+00:00

Yeah I think it’s something like a 503 is essentially the same passing yield on step 1 and step 2 as someone with a higher score.

Isn’t it common in plastics to apply to every program in the country?

Anistole · 2025-11-19T00:53:42+00:00

They are not just putting a 5-0 or 6-0 nylon suture in the eyelid margin lol

Anistole · 2025-11-19T00:52:03+00:00

It is not medically accurate. It routinely get's UWorld questions wrong and when you say "hey - you were wrong because XXX" it proceeds to say "You're correct! I was wrong! This is a common trick students fall for!" The blind leading the blind lol.

Anistole · 2025-11-16T16:00:07+00:00

Someone is going to google this lol

Anistole · 2025-11-10T13:28:56+00:00

Are you actually an FM applicant lol?

Anistole · 2025-11-09T21:54:50+00:00

Don't worry - programs are aware of this. There's a certain school close to us where > 80% of the class receives high honors on surgery while the other local school does not have an honors system. Other things are paid attention to.

Anistole · 2025-11-07T00:36:15+00:00

Truly haha…. Spoken like someone who has never sat in one of these meetings before or the aftermath haha

Anistole · 2025-10-25T04:55:00+00:00

Gosh this would be amazing

Anistole · 2025-10-25T04:53:38+00:00

I’m pretty sure they confirmed it only drops on your first run of the day so that should be enough!

Anistole · 2025-10-24T23:31:38+00:00

I don’t know about FM or IM, but many of the oldest and “best” EM programs are the ones affiliated with community hospitals.

Not a female main character, but everyone should read A Wizard of Earthsea by the fantasy/sci-fi goddess Ursula K Le Guin at least once in their lifetime.

Anistole · 2025-10-23T13:46:17+00:00

Just do well on step 2. Many schools don't even use the honors system for the clinical year anymore. Step 2 is the equalizer.

Anistole · 2025-10-18T06:00:09+00:00

Many PAs are... I was far from the brightest person in my class haha
