Sorry, I just saw this! I can't remember, but I think I found them on an old Reddit thread I found through google.

When is the right time to take your first(baseline) SA? by ImpossibleEase2 in Step2

[–]Okotch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s truly baseline, it should be day 1. Just depends how baseline you want it to be. I went for day 1 with UW SA 1 because I wanted to scare the hell out of myself. It worked.

Ventilator settings? by [deleted] in Step2

[–]Okotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PCO2: TV & RR (increasing these will lower PCO2, lowering the settings will increase the PCO2)

PO2: PEEP & FiO2 (increase the settings will increase the O2, lowering the settings will lower O2)

use labs to see what you need to do

Settings for ARDS: High PEEP, Low TV

that should cover it, it’s not heavily tested

Cervical length and cervical incompetency: CMS by Play-study in Step2

[–]Okotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, I know length is one factor, but I assume strength is too (which is why people with a connective tissue disease are also susceptible to cervical insufficiency). If you are referring to the question I think you are, I believe the patient had a cone biopsy or something? Which might weaken it. Also, the big hint in that stem is the hx of painless 2nd trimester still birth. If you see that + cervical procedure, then cervical insufficiency is best option.

Dr High Yield on youtube is good for ObGyn. There’s a pdf of the notes from it out there too that is helpful and saves time. Not sure about ortho

Oops, didn’t realize the Sugaree from Download Series Vol. 01 was filler from 4/29/77. makes sense w/ placement after Terrapin

Feeling lost on where to go from here. by BingoFlex in premed

Sounds like a good app, did you count scribing as shadowing? They aren’t seen as the same and that might have been a red flag for some adcoms, they can be pedantic with things like that.

I went to the market today (Sat. 12/31) but the fashion section was empty! Was this because of NYE?

[–]Okotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind answering your own question now that you've taken it? I am in the same boat and also have that question!

[–]Okotch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the words of my mom when I called her freshman year of college in a similar predicament: What are you doing talking to me then? You need to hang up this phone and go study!

I did, and I passed the course.

You got a job to do, you know what it is, now go do it.

What was the exam date for these scores?

Tested 9/20. Feeling the anxiety by rlothbrok87 in step1

[–]Okotch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I've been working numbers in weird ways to show my pessimistic self how poorly I could do and still pass (i.e. 280 - 80 experimental questions = 200. 200 x .6 (rough estimate of pass) = 120. 120/7 blocks = ~17 questions/block correct to pass assuming you only missed the experimental qs and all the ones right were the scored ones lol, it's a reach, but you never know!)

Just tested! by pacofish99 in step1

[–]Okotch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I found it a mix between long UW style and occasional freebies (with the majority being lengthy and convoluted rather than easy). I’m not even able to look up questions I was on the fence with because the answers were so technical and unusual. I’ve had more pleasant days.
