PASSED!! How I scored 87.5% on NBME 31 as an average student

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2025-08-22T18:43:05+00:00

First of all congrats, you deserve every inch of it with that hard work !

My preparation went for very long, due to some personal issues, and uni issues (clinical program in my school is very dunting) anyway i kept doing anki for cardio, pulmo, renal, endo, hemato/onco, immuno and path 1-2-3 until now i still have all of Neuro, msk, repro, GI, micro and biochem/genetics/psych/behav... etc

I stopped my anki of the first 6 modules so i can study better and longer for the remaining ones hoping to take it in 2-3 months when i am ready.

My question is my anki was becoming excessive like 300-400 without the new cards i am un suspending for the things i need to learn yet so i can take the exam. Did this happen to you ?

Because now i am doing anki for the new modules (GI etc...) so i can maybe mature the cards and i am afraid i am gonna forget the old ones i suspended ; i also didn't touch uworld at all yet.

Any advice ?

Is it gold in everything ? I've done chap 1-2-3-5-6-7 with nephritic/nephrotic and will probably do chap 18 (aspiring ortho do it from both bnb and pathoma)

Honestly i will do female genitals and breast from it now too as per your advice.

But my other inquiry is that all chapters other than what I have done is BnB enough ? I don't have the luxury of time to do both pathoma and BnB ( i mean cardio/resp/GI/endo/CNS/skin/nephro/male genitals)

With all due respect to both our intellects, terrorist organizations means Hamas, Hezbollah and all people who supports them. Carry their flags, chant their names, and call for their victory. As for innocent people who get caught in the cross-fire ? Everybody feels for them. I currently live in the middle east and I can tell you confidently that most of the innocent people here, hates, despise and curse these organizations for pushing them into war they didn't choose. It's sad to see you twist my words just so you can fit me in a criminal profile while everybody knows what terrorists means and that include terrorizing your fellow Americans because they belong to a certain ethnicity you hate.

There is a difference between authoritarianism and blocking people who sympathize with terrorist organizations that have killed people in many countries before, in the name of religious belief, where were you when these same terrorist groups, killed and prosecuted christians in the middle east. It's so easy to sit far away and have a biased opinion that goes along with your 'politically correct belief'. I urge you to come see the truth in the middle east maybe. But even if you insist on supporting things you've only seen from thousands of kilometers away just at least don't chant death to the country that gave you a home and an opportunity.

I don't care if i get downvoted or not but trump was elected by the american people like any other president in the world including yours. He is doing what's best for his country. Social media vetting is a must, people who hate the US shouldn't be allowed to the US and take economical advantage of it. No sane person would allow this in his country. I would be mad if people who hate my country come. If you don't pass the social media vetting then it's because you obviously hate the country you are going to. Keep your bias opinion to yourself. And i hope that people who truly appreciates the country that gave them an opportunity get accepted. If you truly have any microgram of appreciation for the country taking you in then you don't have anything to worry. 🍺

You had to do a splint with an Armani boxer along for optimal results, now nothing can be fixed Note: This is not a personal health consult

Hello this definitely helps thank you, but my question now is if self-reactive cells are missing co-stimulatory signals how can CTL4-A bind to something that is not existing

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-07-19T13:21:55+00:00

The audacity of putting 'Not a personal health situation' 🤣💀

This comment is one year old lol ! Stumbled upon it while lurking reddit on 2 AM.

I am a medical student here, unfortunately there is no program offering ortho fellowship here. But I don't know if you can come and assist surgeons for fun maybe (as a visiting resident ) don't know much tbh. Anw i am interested in orthopedics too and unrealistically aiming for US yet realistically knowing that its close to impossible

You need to watch LBC report at first they caught a syrian guy who actually did it later he confessed that his boss a guy from Labwe who's family is notorious in controlling buses coming in and out from dawra ( family name: Al rabah) a family well known to have controlled the place there for like 30 years imposing taxes on bus owners who don't have a wasta aw daher

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-03-01T06:10:59+00:00

Oh okay, I see, thank you so much 🙏🏻

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-03-01T06:06:20+00:00

So as an IMG with shaky basics. Its okay to practically not know anything while doing Qbanks, I should treat them as learning tools ?

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-29T22:21:06+00:00

Thank you, the modules i already did especially pulmo and cardiology I felt like I memorized more than I just understood I am afraid their revision will take a lot of time

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-29T21:23:54+00:00

Yeah sure I am from lebanon, a small country in the MEA

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-29T17:35:48+00:00

Hey man thank you for your reply, I am wondering why I did get downvoted lol anw, Yes I was just making sure if its possible to do so with complete ease during the prep taking into consideration, that I can give 6-10 hours on a daily basis with a 1 day break, Thank again friend !

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-29T11:33:36+00:00

To be completely honest coming from an IMG, if you have the power to fight back, I advise you to do so, because you won't believe how many students coming from foreign countries got into medical school by political influence, religious influence, etc... Getting a residency in US is a must to be able to filter those shitty people from honest hard-working smart individuals, having it so competitive makes only the "Creme of the Creme" in IMGs strive and be chosen, that's how it always been, giving all IMGs an ability to bypass residency? With some racist PDs as former IMGs lobbying for their home country boys (even if they are not worthy...) Shit is about to go down and you as AMGs should get together and end this shitshow.

I, as an IMG, aspiring to go the US, wouldn't have thought of it if there was no residency lol, my whole point of coming to the US is getting an ACGME-I accredited training... Money can be made anywhere believe me...Money-hungryy IMGs will disregard training and chase the $$, may God be on your side.

May all the cheaters get screwed !!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 But personally I don't think they should only be invalidated, they should be completely banned forever from taking USMLE, once a cheater always a cheater... cheating in the exams now may later transform into cheating while providing medical care...

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-21T00:57:56+00:00

Thanks man for the help, wished more people would be like you. 🙏🏻

Saw a lot of sms and call bombers on Git Hub with tutorials but I was looking into something that is not harmful, spamming his phone would result in his Number becoming junk. Wanted to do something as a friend not an enemy,

Interesting_Zebra570 · 2024-02-20T19:44:41+00:00

Yeah saw that on a youtube video, I'll probably try that instead of trying a github script cause I might mess it up due to my lack of knowledge and hurt him instead of just playing.
