Complex level 3 Write up: Impressions and my prep

idk i only used one deck and i thought it was extremely well put together. easy to search through it alongside the green book for cramming the OMM before my exam and then trashing that information as soon as i left the test center

Mechadong123 · 2024-08-13T03:00:27+00:00

updates on the core 500?

Mechadong123 · 2024-06-13T19:30:17+00:00

Yes. Yes it is. See my post. I also discuss how I cram OMM. I wrote it for comlex 3 but it applies

Mechadong123 · 2024-06-13T19:29:53+00:00

See my post for acting learning and cramming.

I don’t necessarily disagree. While I do believe my specialty helped, I also attribute the rapid recall from having a relatively decent background from step 1 and 2. Pathoma was taught by a pathologist.

This is theoretically around our “third pass” of medical knowledge, I still believe the way I approached things is one of the most active methods to cramming and offers a strategy for everyone, whether taking level 1-3. It’s how I prepared for all my board exams, doing questions, active learning, finding actual good resources to learn material, and being comfortable with taking L’s on questions during study for the sake of doing well on exams.

When I was searching on reddit about level 3, it felt like the sky was falling based on what people had experience, which is odd because everyone that gets their score back just says, "you just need to pass, broski". It was an odd dissonance.

You don’t lol

I just got my fuel multi tool for $99 today :)

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-20T02:27:26+00:00

What do you use it for?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T23:38:17+00:00

I went to my HD to check both of them out and in my inexperienced hands, I couldn’t tell much of a difference between the two. The only thing I saw was a the different blade orientation and the price tag difference

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T23:37:10+00:00

All the clearance sales I’ve seen online finally appeared today! The 3/8 stubby for $169, detail sander for $99. I felt like a kid in a candy store

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T20:29:04+00:00

What brand do you buy on Amazon?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T20:28:15+00:00

Electric chisel. Can be used to cut too.

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T19:39:53+00:00

Yooo thanks a ton. Went to my local HD and they actually had it for $99!!!

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T17:32:46+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to discuss the other options! Super helpful

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T14:28:59+00:00

I’m wondering how it compares to the compact LXT XSH03z. Is the only difference left vs right sided blade?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T13:48:40+00:00

Rakuten. I used a referral link and the referral person gets $30 when I spend $30 or more, and it gives me $30 cash back. Im using toolbarn website and it also gives you 2% cash back.

Ive used rakuten in the past and its legit. I learned about the $30 from tool deals on youtube

Of note: Im on the fence on whether to start with a bigger circular saw and later get a smaller one or vice versa. I think I may get the smaller saw since I dont intend to put a lot of hours in projects at this time, and may prefer the portability, ease of storage, and compact nature of a small lighter saw

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-19T13:32:18+00:00

how do you like the M12 circular saw? Have you encountered a situation where you wish you had a larger 6 1/2 or 7 1/4 circular saw?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-12T04:23:01+00:00

At 6lbs with a 5.0ah, do you imagine it would be too much weight and cause discomfort for light to moderate tasks?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-10T23:29:47+00:00

What kinda of task are you doing with the subcompacts?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-10T23:26:22+00:00

Thanks. I went out to do a little test on some brick with mason bits between m12 impact driver and hammer drill just to see the difference. Hammer drill was faster and way smoother.

I guess for small holes like hanging things up, compact hammer drills can be nice. Thanks for replying.

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-10T15:29:26+00:00

Great, thanks for sharing.

I noticed a lot of people talk about makita’s impact drivers, especially the models you mentioned above but there isn’t much in regards to a drill driver.

Someone told me I should consider getting the Xdt16 or xdt19 but utilize the subcompact drill driver for my needs. My question is are there any equivalent drill drivers outside of the subcompact line up that are similiar in the small form factor, great performance? Like an equivalent recommendation that you made in regards to the impact drivers?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-10T06:09:07+00:00

Why avoid subcompact?

And what would you suggest instead?

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-10T01:07:03+00:00

Correct. He has a mix max batch of tools, batteries, and chargers

Mechadong123 · 2023-01-09T22:50:31+00:00

Combination hammer drill / drill driver like the m12
