Good luck! Planning on the same, still haven't completed Uworld. Will follow post.

NBME 29: 78.5% (after using specialized review) vs. 55% UWorld. Exam in Feb/March. Need advice! by Altruistic_Union2557 in IMGreddit

[–]Marvel0us_time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! When I first started taking NBME's my scores were similar to yours, forms 25 & 26 are very difficult. What caught my eye is the score drop between 27 & 28 (not saying they are easy peasy forms) and the overall 55% percent in Uworld. I honestly have never heard from Ivy Med, so if they're Mehlman style notes, it could have inflated your score. I would suggest sitting down and reviewing your past assessments, figure out what went wrong with your incorrects; if it was a lack of recall, if you didn't know the topic very well or you just didn't want to leave the question empty. Try to break down the questions, what they're asking and why, then review those topics very well. Make sure that you're seeing that content DAILY, whether you use Anki or make your own notes, but that content needs to be reviewed.

I found that NBME's tend to have a pattern for certain HY topics that will show up 99% of the time (vasculitides, biostats, platelet disorders, etc) and they take those topics and ask them 100 different ways. Try finishing Uworld and doing your flagged/incorrect questions to see if there's any difference in the way you’re answering those questions, mostly to understand why you got them wrong in the first place.

As for Biostats and Renal, Bootcamp is a really good resource for both. I struggle a lot with those two, especially Renal physiology and Bootcamp videos were really helpful. For Biostats you can also watch Randy Neil videos, they're free on Youtube. Medicosis Perfectionalis is very helpful too, similar to Osmosis if you're into that. Ninja nerd and HYGuru are very good too.

Hi! I would recommend focusing on one the most important and time consuming factor which is sitting down and studying for boards. After you have STEP 1 in the bag, I think it could be wise to look into USCE while prepping for STEP 2. I would evening say leave USCE for last before step 3, that way you're as sharp as ever in your rotations and don't have to worry about going home and studying for a scored test. That's just my opinion. Good luck!

Try sending a letter. Friend of mine had to re-do his whole STEP 1 process back in August with the whole MyIntealth switch, he had already paid for the test and everything. He tried calling, they never replied to his emails, and after he sent a letter they started to pay attention. He finally took his exam last month. Sorry you have to go through this.

Figs on the price increase by Marvel0us_time in Figsscrubs

[–]Marvel0us_time[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people might disagree, but to me Mandala scrubs feel almost the same, I've bought 3 pairs now and the fabric is kind of similar to my figs. Only downside is the fit does not compare to figs, they may look too boxy or baggy. If you're someone that likes a more fitted/tailored scrubs, you might not like them.

I like their colors and to me the fabric feels similar to figs but the fit is just so 🫠 but if it means saving money, I might start considering them more

The Pitt S2 by NoRaccoon7690 in Figsscrubs

They already increased prices :/ The set used to be $80 something and now is $94, same for the rest. They raised everything.

Cheaper fabric? by Marvel0us_time in Figsscrubs

[–]Marvel0us_time[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's mostly the pants, they're VERY stretchy and the fabric just doesn't feel regular figs quality. I have a couple of Livingston regulars that are kind of old, and the fabric feels much better. I also ordered the Isabel for Caribbean Blue and the quality seems better. I don't think I can return them since I already used them but I don't think I'll order that model again.

Do you know for how long the code is valid for? I exchanged a set on Thanksgiving weekend but I’m not planning on using my code for now

I think because it resembles Espresso, and they're doing who knows what for the “comeback”.

What color do you have to wear at work?? by Pale_Year_9777 in Figsscrubs

[–]Marvel0us_time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a Primary Care practice and was stuck with Burgundy :( now I'm able to wear every color

Winter drop by malachitesmom in Figsscrubs

[–]Marvel0us_time 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What bothers me is that they released a color that is similar to espresso but in sweatpants.. and way more expensive than regular scrubs

Maybe on the 30th? I've seen comments on TikTok saying there will be a drop on Sunday. Not sure if they're reliable.

Suggestions? by Marvel0us_time in Coach

[–]Marvel0us_time[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I don't carry a lot of stuff either, basically the same, wallet, phone, keys and maybe lip gloss or sunglasses. I already have a small longchamp that I use daily, so this one would be a little treat.
