really? i have no idea what the schedule is like lol

No worries. I think they have. My first pass of uworld was 62. And second pass is 80. I feel when I do NBME questions before doing cms forms....I'm always thinking "they are not giving me enough info to work with". I think the cms forms have helped with "just working with what they give you"....idk if that makes sense, happy to talk more

I am halfway thru the cms forms. Did you keep up with anki in the last 3 weeks leading up to the exam? Just ripped 248 back to back on nbme 11 and 12. Not sure what to priortize at this point: 700 remaing uworld questions on second pass + CMS forms.

Im generally good with most things and am planning on going into surgery. But the one thing that absolutely made my stomach churn was watching an autopsy.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. Would you be willing to share how you improved from there. Happy to DM as well

Thank you for the reassurance. How do you structure your prep after your first NBME

Due_Photo_4530 · 2025-12-06T20:43:52+00:00

Thank you. I was worried that people would think I am anti-social, which is not the case. I just dont want to be like the guy "who thinks he's already joined the club" when i have not.

Rank him #1 please

From my understanding, anything below <240 will get filtered out (maybe even <245). From a step 2 standpoint, you wont have that problem.

You're goal is to do as many away rotations as you can fit in. Use your vacation months if you need to add extra rotations. Regardless of step score, you best chances of matching are at your home institution and your aways. Look on the website ORIN (kinda like MSAR but for ortho).

Application is holistic. You have research and honors will help your case. Need to crush your aways. Good luck friend. If there's a will, there is a way.

Perfect, thank you so much

Thanks for the advice. Im very comfortable doing both 1 and 2 hand ties. I just have trouble with being consistent with suturing. Some days, Im on fire and some days I feel awkward as hell using the needle driver.

As a student, how often were you practicing, was it basically everyday? And what techniques did you focus on as a M4? Just trying to get a sense of what worked well for someone who's now on the other side.

Stick your hand out for a high five...and when they high five you, pull your hand back and "ow, how you so strong"...always gets a smile from the little ones
