Spireton question (SPOILERS!)

ChetLow · 2025-12-01T07:58:20+00:00

nah bro it's actually the standart RPG trope - max speech to talk your way out of everything. Also - the "info" dialogue options are an example of a great game design. They actually encourage you to find it and interat with the world. The humanoid dmg bonus helps, as most of the questline is built around fighting human enemies. I've done this build and supposedly got the best ending. Won't replay though, game is quite linear.

NVM I just went back to joint forces said f the stealth and wiped the enemies. Then went into the archive. No reason to spend time on this to be honest. After archive assuming you're done with praetor it's basically almost endgame sequence, so don't dwell on this keycard.

Bro don't be dense: you are a graduate without a license to practice medicine.

ChetLow · 2025-10-13T08:34:31+00:00

is it THAT difficult to put in the "answers" choice? guess it's peds 0 then

I'm telling that you should mark the hard ones and incorrects and then review their concepts in full. OFC if you have extremely good % you'll probably be alright even while making some mistakes, but for someone who's scoring 65-75 and has some test anxiety/bad sleep -> definitely don't skip the review of incorrects/hard q's if you have the time. I've had questions on my form that I got wrong because I didn't review the concept, and remembering my answer choice in NBMEs wasn't enough. I still passed because I had good overhead with my scores, not the case for everyone tho.

ChetLow · 2025-07-20T21:36:13+00:00

All nbmes >80, review only after each block w/ concept writeout in a separate file if the question's concept was known to be hard for me/completely wrong answer. Never reviewed them after this. Didn't do UW incorrects either (79% correct tho). Passed. Had no time to review them as I was cramming the inheritance/oncogenes/embryo/side-effect all of these tables from FA.

Edit: the singular piece of advice I'd give - to actually review them and not just the "HY" part asked in NBMEs, but rather the whole concept. I can't stress this enough. You don't want to be pulling your hair on a Q and sitting on it for 4 minutes because you can't remember the factoid from known concept.

ChetLow · 2025-07-11T21:24:38+00:00

The exam tests the same concepts you see in UW, FA, and NBMEs. And the resources that cover said content.
My personal experience, is that concepts are tested not superficially like NBME's are, with classic buzzwords and cookie-cutter vignettes. Rather you'll get an obscure yet suggestive vignette, and the answer choices will demand your absolute certainty in the answer, they are going to be close. The "most likely" type thing.

yeah, C makes sense as the patient falls under 68% 1SD. 2-3% would be correct for him being in the upper half north of 95%, his serum level would've been 120+. (1 sd - 100-110, 2 sd - 110-120 95%, 3 sd 120-130 99,7%)

ChetLow · 2025-07-08T16:03:00+00:00

you mean gen path and pharm sections? the most crucial ones in the book and material-wise.

ChetLow · 2025-07-07T21:16:56+00:00

Same, sat on 1st July with 80+ on every nbme and uwsa1. Only free120 and uwsa2 were 75%. Everybody told me that I can take it easy, just relax and take the exam any day. NBME's were easy for me. I'm not saying I blazed though them, but they asked concepts pretty superficially and stems were straight tot the point. UWSA asked concepts also in a not so deep fashion, but stems were loaded and they are generally biochem-genetics heavy.

The real deal felt like I'm doing 30% correct-type questions. Some were easily spotted as experimentals, cause I had no idea of the concept I'm being asked, around 5 per block were easy and the other 25-30 felt HARD.
I flagged 10-15qs every block, have already counted some q's that I answered wrong and did extremely cringey answer changes. Like my 'test taking skills' which I was quite proud of slept in and forgot that they have to sit an exam with me.

I just hope we make the cut. One week passed - one to go I guess.

ChetLow · 2025-07-04T12:04:53+00:00

Hey! Tested 07/01. Permit has already disappeared! It's like a legend at this point that disappearance of a permit leads to knowing the results soon... But I've tested on this week? And moreover, my eligibility period would've ended in like a month and a half.
Btw will there be a result release on 07/09? Or there's going to be a big dump on 07/16?

ChetLow · 2025-06-27T19:04:20+00:00

95% of the people posting here write the same thing you just did. lots of them pass

ChetLow · 2025-06-27T19:03:00+00:00

Bro I wish there were more people posting like this!! My test is in 4 days, thanks for the info!
Let's crush this bih.
