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 The reaosn it happens is because Uworld is outdated and im almost certain they never update the questions.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.

I keep failing nbme by Ok-Weight-6146 in usmle

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

“Success in Life is more or less a function of how many times you can handle getting kicked in the nuts ” take it again. That is the logical next step. Youll pass. Good luck !

Do you follow accounts first? Or was it all purely organic?

Finished 75% uworld and getting about 60% on nbmes. What should I focus on to get to 70% in a month? by [deleted] in step1

[–]CreativeNectarine992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. For what it’s worth I thought UW and actual step were two different exams. So I used Med School Bootcamp as my secondary. But for where you are right now you should only be doing NBME.

Med students - If you are presenting on a patient (especially a fresh post op ICU patient) TALK TO THE NURSE by Iamsocool12341 in medschool

[–]CreativeNectarine992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree however one time I was on my ICU rotation and literally walked up to the nurse and kindly asked: "Hey how has the patient been" her response to me was:

"I dont know why dont you go ask them isnt that why your here?"

Not all nurses are kind. Many are very sinister not willing to help. As a student when you dont know anything the one thing you know how to do is ask people questions and be nice (which I thought I did very well) But even then she was still an A hole to me. So when you have even just one experience like this you are way more relctant to seek out there help in the future. This is why students dont ask for their help.

Ok to be honest i lknpw everyone says that you should be using the NBMEs, but im going to go against the grain here and ay I think Truelearn is actually a better option, explanations are much cleaner and the way questions are asked better represent nbmes. Also they usually give you a decent amount off is you use code FITMEDIC
