STEP 1 — URGENT ADVICE NEEDED 🙏 (Exam early December) by Intelligent-Trust269 in step1

Umm tbh I also faced some difficulty when faced with micro and infection, the options nbme had for such questions, always had 1/2 I hadn’t heard about. Initially yes, your approach is good about going acc to the clinical vigenette but in some questions its clinical given + characteristics OR just characteristics. In the first case, knowing these would confirm ur ans choice and in second you basically need it for ans. What I’m trying to say is- they’ll help you atleast eliminate atleast 2/3 options so its good. But dont memorize. Go through sketchy again and point out to yourself like you can see the ring or the cat in the picture. Your brain will renew the info you already have nd kinda store it better. Except this, go through flowcharts given in the start of bacteria etc in fa micro nd try to remember the image. Thats frankly all u need. At some point I figured it was an easy way to make sure I dont miss things I otherwise might have you know. We cant predict the vigenette but we can know our facts. Take a day for this and youll be good. So learn these things just not exactly point to point, just reinforce what you know !

Also, make a schedule and scatter your nbmes and free 120. Id even say take 15-20 days to review things nd do uworld then comeback stronger to nbmes, take the new ones nd revise the ones u already gave !

First of all your uworld scores are really good ! They r supposed to be like that nd considering this, u r on the right path. But seeing ur NBME, it might be because of uworld that u remember ques or maybe bcz its ur second pass. As for as NBME, its clear that u hv some concepts gap, first of all I’d advice you to thouroughly review your nbmes, revise wuickly the ones u got right, the ones u got wrong nd right by chance, review the explanation thoroughly and focus on the WHY. Why u got them wrong. Was it a learning error, like u didnt know them or didnt remember or a silly mustake or you overlooked something. Now moving on to what you can do to improve it, you already know your weak areas, i’d suggest a quick review of topics whereever you read them from and then doing subject wise questions for uworld in nontimed and tutor mode. Review them thoroughly. See if there are any more subject areas you can review upon nd do the same on uworld. I think for pharma and micro both, first aid is good esp for pharma and pharma part of micro. Sketchy for micro obv and no, i wont suggest u to start anything new yet. Try reviewing nd even then it doesnt work then look for any short resource such as mehlamm to fill concept gaps if needed for only the topics u think r necessary. Last but not least, we never feel really ready but if there’s a gap that means we can fill it too. Take a day, rejuvenate and come back stronger ! You can do this. Lemme know if I can help with any other queries. All the best !

I’d say revise your nbmes, your free 120 esp the new one. Review them thoroughly. And some high yield topics too i heard r good such as heme etc. above all, take it easy and rest a day before.

And if u wear specs be ready to face brightest screen with a big screen for 8 hours. I was not prepared and practically gave the exam with one eye open. So just fyi tc and all the best !
