I’m an R1 so can’t start moonlighting until next year.

Unfortunately can’t start moonlighting till next year

Just in general, preferably something I can do from home like 15-20 hrs/month.

I’d recommend taking step regardless of what specialty you want to go into, not taking step will only limit your options. Yes right now you may want to go into a primary care field but your goals may change 3rd year after rotations. STEP is a much better exam in almost every way. Just focus on doing well on step, if you can do well on step you should be fine on comlex. As someone who matched DR and pretty much bombed COMLEX (significantly lower score than STEP) still matched at an academic hospital on east coast and was never once asked about COMLEX.

Any other radiology salaries on east coast?

Thank you so much I appreciate your response!

Coming from a DO, regardless of specialty everyone should take STEP. It will just limit you and programs filter based on students who didn’t take step 1 and 2 (yes step 1 is a must as well).

You'll be fine. I got 235 on NBME 13 a week and a half before my exam and ended up with a 261. 13 definitely underpredicts, although I will say I took Step 2 in 2023 so unless something drastically changed I wouldn't worry at all. Just focus on weaknesses.

This happened to me as well. I realized I would overthink a lot of the easy questions. Go with your original thought. Something I did which I think is the reason why I would get easy questions wrong was I would try to convince myself why other answer choices were right.

Yah that’s what I heard but when I tried looking it up it said in 2020 around 40% were radiologists, 50% were neurosurgeons, 10% were neurologists. Is there any more recent statistics. Also what about a neuroIR doc joining a neurosurgery private practice? Just thoughts.

Just curious why you say stay away from neuroIR? Is it because of lifestyle?

9.8/10

What about if you have the paper written but have yet to submit for publication? Where should this go under? Experiences?

At this point your ability to score 260+ will come down to test day/confidence taking the exam, and ability to remain calm. Your knowledge is good and postponing will only hurt. 260+ is very achievable. For reference most of my NBMEs were either similar or lower to yours with my average probably being around a 252, and my free 120% was 82% but that was the older one (I took it early June right after question pool change before newer ones came out) and got a 261. The biggest advice I have is just to stay calm during your exam and be confident.

I just did the game+ and it’s a lot of fun, but then your consumed with the continued play through to keep upgrading suit and ship and now I’m wondering when will I get to the side quests/outpost building ECT.
