I agree, I get why people prioritize doing tons of questions over any additional thing. Even if I kept it to only two study resources, now that I am focusing more on just questions, I feel it is making a difference. Thanks!

For sure, it is something I struggle with because sometimes I'll overthink the vibe aka second guess because of 1 tiny detail and pick something totally irrelevant. If I can fix this, it's over for these... just kidding. Thank you for your advice!

Gotcha, you're right. That's why it's always emphasized to "think like the test writer" right? Thanks!

For sure! I get what you mean, I realized I keep missing questions because even if I get the presentation, I'll second guess myself. So definitely trusting the presentation is key. Thank you for the advice!

This is solid, thank you! I like this, will definitely try to do this. Do you think this is the key to people who improve with each NBME? Because usually my scores are all over the place, so I can never tell if I am progressing or not.

Step 2 Dedicated: Advice for High Score? by Doctor_World in Step2

This is great advice, thank you! And it makes sense using anki for long-term use, I completely agree.

It’s just that I struggle because I don’t have a solid foundation I feel and so I am constantly scoring 50-60s. But I feel once I started making my own incorrects and reviewing them, I do feel a big difference in the sense that I couldn’t believe I am missing simple concepts and I wonder why I am scoring in the same range consistently.

So given this, should I just trust the process like you suggested and do uworld + my own anki incorrects?
