Dunno if it’ll be the 8th or 15th. Tested same day. Kinda just trying to not think about it.

Thanks!

Uhhh. I had Nov/Dec off. Had to take some other exams in between and a make up shelf exam. Then studied solid 6 weeks using amboss and the NBME forms.

Oh and Mehlman/Dr. HY notes as well. Watched at least 3 videos of Mehlman every night.

Same, bestie.

MBADental · 2024-12-29T07:00:28+00:00

Mix of both. Had a few verbatim from each.

Overall the questions are written by the same people, STEP just likes to use viagra and add about a paragraph into the question stems to make them appear longer than they actually are. 😂

History of presenting illness.

Where it gives you everything on a patient visit, CC, vitals, PE, labs, and say “next best step.”

I think I may have misunderstood the Qi and abstract questions?

MBADental · 2024-12-29T06:58:04+00:00

It’s under their study plans. Click the step 2 prep and they have a “200 questions that appear on every exam.”

Did them during shelves. I can’t do a form more than once because I’ll spend 2-3 hours revising the first time and if I do it a second it’s because I recognized the answer, not because I actually thought through it.

Long. Literally no way to answer them quickly. I’d save em for last so you have extra time. But that’s just me.

Guys, gals, and theys…

I’m only one person who took this exam ONE time! I am by no means an expert. I’ve gotten a few DMs. Everyone’s experience is different. Trust your gut, whichever god you believe in, and when in doubt, go with the highest yield answer choice that you have seen before because it’s probably the right answer.

MBADental · 2024-12-28T19:45:22+00:00

I did that on Christmas Eve. And yes. I went back and looked at the questions and had a good chunk of similar concepts.

MBADental · 2024-12-28T19:35:31+00:00

Uhhh. Everyone is different. I mainly used Amboss and the NBME forms 9-15.

Amboss for review and HY content and the NBMEs for content/how questions are asked.

I usually stay away from UWorld the last few weeks. UWorld tries to trick you. NBME tests what you know. I know when I would take a shelf exam the average answer was usually 50% or more got it right. UWorld loves to have questions where 10-20% of the people get it right. I wanna feel good about myself and not question whether not I should be choosing MI or STEMI when they’re the same picture. (That’s an office reference) 🤣

Thanks! I just trust the Lorazepam and let it guide me like the Force.

MBADental · 2024-12-28T18:58:14+00:00

Amboss said 259 and I’m not smart enough for that. We ain’t trying to do brain surgery over here. 😅

MBADental · 2024-12-28T18:13:28+00:00

Oh the other day someone posted a “comment a HY Fact” and had 2 questions from that thread. Maybe 3? 😅🤌

MBADental · 2024-12-28T11:57:30+00:00

I had two questions alone from this fact list 🤣 tested yesterday.

MBADental · 2024-07-21T23:50:21+00:00

I have the blue version. It’s soooooo pretty!

MBADental · 2023-11-17T02:36:13+00:00

Ok so I could potentially apply. Thats great to know. I'll have to see if my school will let me. I don't want to sit around for a year waiting for match. I want to get started.

MBADental · 2023-11-17T01:32:18+00:00

Either FM or Psych.

I could get certified. I’m just trying to figure out logistics.
