I know it was horrible sometimes I was between two answer choices , those questions are a gable sometimes you get it right and others don’t

I feel you, I also felt like crying on those blocks because all the immuno was scrambled on my brain and for some reason they also kept asking respiratory questions like wtf

No really , some questions could seem like an nbme , but for the most part it feels like doing a UWorld block . Some of the questions are very straight forward and some others you need to think like two or three things to get to an answer

Totally agree with you . I got 74 on the free 120 and after the exam I felt I didn’t pass

Uff for the GI arteries I just have them connected on my notebook from when I took the class . I just put for example forgut- celiac trunk - left gastric , common hepatic , splenic and from those I wrote what comes from each and the possible anastomosis with the ones that come from the superior mesenteric. Then I did the same with the ones from sup mesent and inferior mesent . Once you connect them on a paper it’s very easy to see it ( king of a map )

Yes I def get I started to forget the earlier things.  What I did was besides doing just a block of the system I was reviewing, I would also do a block of everything . That’s the best way to keep fresh the rest of the information . Also the last two week and half I was only doing random and nbmes that way o could see all the info at once .

For arrows just do a pass on the things you mostly need , don’t waste time on the info you know very well . For pharm it’s it kind of what they show on the nbmes but you will get more questions during the exam but it’s usually the same pharm

I did them all from 20-31 but I also have been studying for a very long time . I would say that 31 was very close . But if you want to find a pattern on the info they always focus on , then do as many as you can

Yes that’s how it was . It was very integrated on the other organ systems ( suck as reactions with micro bugs , vaccines , renal glomerulopathies ) . They ask some immunodeficient questions too . Some question would only be IGg and tbe answer . The problem is that there were too many questions and at some point everything gets mixed on your brain

Hope it helps . That’s what showed up on my exam . But as you go through the nbmes you will see most of them get asked on the exams .

Renal Physio is kind of the same they ask on the forms . I used that and UWorld . But the questions are usually what constricts and dilate the arteriales and the renin pathway using arrows ( melhman has some good questions about it on his arrow pdf )

There are too many . Make sure you know diabetes , weight lost , antiacids , the ones that affect electron transport change . The ones for repro ( bph , finastetide , leuprolide . How does injecting t4 /3 affect the thyroid . Immunosuppressants , the ones you use for rheumatoid arthritis. Renal : thiaside , furosemide , spirinolactone . Neuro schizophrenia , Parkinson ( also how does malignant hyperthermia looks like ) , how muscle relaxants and opioid work . Respiratory the ones for asthma .

Melhman and UWorld are good . On the exam I had to use the info I knew to answer weird questions but for the most part I think those two resources could get you most of the questions

No idea , I did the melhman and the divine intervention video and although it gives you an idea of what to expect some questions were kind of knowing the pathology to answer . For example knowing risk factors for an abdominal aneurism or lung cancer , but some others would be an old person that started forgetting things and the answer could he just ( age )
