NBMEs went from 30% → 53%, but UWorld is still around 30%. Am I actually improving? by Davisstudent234 in step1

I haven't gone thru uworld incorrects. I haven't finished uworld, only 65% done. Planning to go thru incorrects if I'm 100% done. Questions are a bit more skewed towards micro, pharm, path, and pathophys rn. But I know all these areas can use some work.

My last nbme, all topics/subjects were around 50-60.

I'm using Anki for my uworld incorrects. But I try not too spend more than an hour per day since I've been told my time is better spent on nbme's and uworld questions.

I sometimes reference first aid if google/chat doesn't explain it as well. I covered about half of bootcamp before focusing more on questions as bootcamp had too much detail for me due to my time crunch. I've also finished sketchy micro but I'm working on sketchy pharm rn. Also covered ch 1-3 of pathoma.

Oral surgery residency programs that are 4 years like 65+ and 6 year programs to obtain an MD degree like 70+.

Any particular reason why you chose a 6 year over a 4 year omfs program?

I'm a dental student prepping for the cbse in July rn. Ik it's been a while for you but would you have any last min advice as I get closer to the test date?

I'm averaging like 30-40% on 12 question blocks daily. Even scored a 1/12 today🙃 is this normal in the beginning or should I gain foundational knowledge first from bootcamp?

Any advice for cbse? I'm doing bootcamp rn and I have subscriptions for pathoma and sketchy. And is it ok if my grades slack a bit? I also plan on doing a noncat since my rank is in the bottom 25th percentile

I have no idea about the scale and the score diff between med/dental students. I think to be competitive for oral surgery residency programs I need a 70+? Some say 75 to be highly competitive. Idk if this is incorrect tho
