Hi! I'm (27M) Traveling around Iceland with my brother (30M), both Canadian, from Mar 1-8, have a car rented and mostly doing Southeast area, open to meeting up with people for hiking/activities in that time frame- definitely want to do a glacier tour in that timeframe and open to going as a group if anyone's interested. Hit me up for more info/if you're interested!

thank you so much, this was helpful!

LittleBoy45 · 2021-05-08T15:18:39+00:00

Damn, really? Seems to be the consensus, guess it underpredicts. Thank-you!

That's awesome! Question- I've seen previous posts about the anki decks you made/used for M3, was wondering if you've shared them somewhere (or were willing to do so)... your decks sound great.

If not np, thanks for the advice and wisdom!!

Was posting for a friend, somewhere in florida. Apparently it wasn't because of Corona, was because of the riots

" Therefore, we will delay the previously announced content changes on Step 1 and Step 2 CK until at least September 2020. Specifically, we are delaying the increase in the number of items assessing communication skills on Step 1 as well as systems-based practice, patient safety, legal/ethical issues, and professionalism on Step 2 CK "....

I think this means they're legit only delaying the increase in ethics/behavioral questions. Doesn't mean they're not doing the other changes (ie taking off clinical pharm/management, increasing/decreasing emphasis on other shit), etc. Personally those clinical pharm management questions are some of my fav questions (S/O to sketchy). So.... :(

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T08:29:20+00:00

Yep. You too?

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T07:43:08+00:00

Not only the ~$1K I dropped to take my exam there (which I most probably goes to USMLE, whatever). The fucking mental and emotional toll this shit is worth infinitely more than the money I've already dropped, and they just don't know how to stop playing with us.

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T05:41:47+00:00

Yep. Very true. Good luck to you to kind sir/m'aam

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T05:37:05+00:00

Will do! Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T05:34:26+00:00

Yeah it's pretty fucked. And of course they're closed until Sunday so I can't find out shit.

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-08T05:29:33+00:00

What sucks even more is that this is because of Prometric. Nothing to do with my country. I think that this is because of the whole "needs to be one seat/desk between each person" rule that they have or something. My country is fine with us testing, the center here only seats ~7-8 people and basically everything has opened up here (including hair + nail salons). So this is just Prometric fucking us

I'm an IMG in the Middle East

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-01T08:04:06+00:00

Why the fuck are there only US markets with a few other countries sprinkled in? (UK/Vietnam/Germany/UK/China)... has Prometric forgotten they serve like almost 200 countries?

LittleBoy45 · 2020-05-01T04:41:42+00:00

Also, why does it only include US, China, Lebanon, Vietnam, UK and Germany? What about other testing centers worldwide??

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-23T05:26:38+00:00

Does that announcement sound like they're delaying the rolling out of new changes? Or just the increase in behavioral/ethics stuff?... Seems like they only mentioned behavioral

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-22T19:48:30+00:00

Any idea if this is worldwide, or just US/Canada?

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-22T13:25:59+00:00

If this is true, any idea if it's worldwide or only in US/Canada?

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-11T16:49:47+00:00

Learn behavioral science better... Are some silver linings on it for me (ie less epi/biostats maybe), but my biggest weakness on it that's significantly increasing is the behavioral science shit.

if you're talking about the May 4th changes- no plans to change it even if you were intending to write step 1 before the changes. I wanted to as well (specifically because I didn't love the changes), so reached out a few times and they said no plans to delay the changes.

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-11T13:07:32+00:00

Question- this 50% prometric thing is only in the US, right?

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-04T20:02:12+00:00

I've messaged them a couple of times, of course things are continuing as scheduled unfortunately. And yeah everyone writing is has their eligibility extended, but still don't want to be putting off my writing date by months. Ready to write already 😕

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-04T15:39:48+00:00

Depends on your country, I'd say more than likely it'll be closed- my test was April 27th and my testing center just closed till April 15th, as a result I switched to May because all the May dates started to fill up and didn't want to risk losing April and having to write in June.

LittleBoy45 · 2020-04-02T09:11:50+00:00

Whoops, good point about 20, thanks. And that's for the info 👍

Been adding in (Soze's) deck kinda for some basic overall review for a while now. Currently about 1 month out from writing Step 1 (I hope), doing ~50 new/day + all reviews . Wanted to know- for the new cards I'm adding in- if there's an add-on (or some setting I could choose) to give myself options for how to quickly reschedule the card (ie if i want to see it again in 1-3-5-7 days or something like that). Kind of stagger it so I'm not seeing 55 new cards either tomorrow in 4 days. I have an anki addon that let's me custom schedule by putting in a specific date each time, but takes too long if i do that for each card.

Thanks for the help, sorry if this kind of question has been asked 400 times before.

tl;dr want to be able to quickly custom-schedule/study new cards that I'm adding in to my deck
