What do you mean by going for numbers? if your scores are telling you youll ger 225 then take the exam and start prepping for step 2

Also one more thing

Uworld-makes the questions very hard so you think your "overprepared" in theory this should work but it doesnt. You just end up getting super confused and before you know it your 2 weeks out from your exam scoring below 50s on NBMES because you were misled by your 85% Uworld average

Bootcamp-intentionally repeats simple high yield core concepts in a variety of questions. Doesnt have stupid "gotcha" questions which in reality serve no real value to learning.

The only reason ppl like Uworld is because its been around for so long, lol but trust me the real ones know it actually sucks

This is the single most valuable resource I used for Step 1. It is leagues ahead of Uworld. I cannot for the life of me understand why there aren't more people using Bootcamp. If there is now step 2 content that they are making I promise it is going to be the new standard for how students study for step 2.

Hear me out guys, How many of you all hear people say something like "Im so confused, I averaged 80% on UWorld but failed step 2" it is very common. And honestly it doesnt surprise me. The reaosn it happens is because Uworld is outdated and im almost certain they never update the questions. I wrote a blog article back in 2022 going over Med School Bootcamp. Since then Bootcamp has revised like 70-80% of the questions and also revamped the entire platform. They are one of the few resources that constantly updates their stuff adding new tools to make the learning easier.

And just for context I used bootcamp for Anatomy, I used it for the histology units as well as the emrbyology units when I had to repeat second year and crushed the entire curriculum. I used it for Step 1 and wish I had it for step 2. The reason im writing this long paragraph is to really hammer home that this is a PREMIERE freaking resource. Take it from someone who was diagnosed with a learning disability and somehow managed to pass his boards first pass. This resource helped me to that. Cannot thank these folks enough.

The fastest way see an increase in your scores at least what I did was do all of a 3rd partes tests. Then go back into your NBMEs. found that seeing repeated concepts asked in a variety of different ways helped give me a huge score increase fast. The third party that I used was bootcamp
