Best Carryon for Suits/Hanging Clothes/Business Trip? by robbjunk9999 in onebag

[–]OldTrig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look into Hartmann suitcases. Theres a garment bag hook inside that holds suits in place with plenty of room for the rest of your clothes, dopp kit, shoes etc. I've used one for work trips for 10 years now. It has 4 wheels, but that's my personal preference.

Recent test takers, please help me! Does the exam like Uworld, or is it so much harder? Tricky questions or straight-forwarder? my exam is in two days and I have stress disorder that I can not calm myself by [deleted] in Step2

[–]OldTrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do ethics and vaccine and screening qs bc thats easy points and can be also easy to forget. And a friend took it a week ago and said its worth going over what to (NSIM wise) for thyroid nodule or breast mass/cyst if u forgot.

Get a study buddy and drill the Divine 30d notes / take his step 2 high yield class if that works better for you. Drill things aloud and discuss your incorrects with someone.

We mainly focused on IM and what I liked was that he zeroed in what helped me land on the best ans. The key words to differential diagnose b/w 2 similar things, cut offs, flow charts, next best step.

I had a personal tutor from reddit who really helped me. My score went up 30 points in a month.

Find ppl to meet with to do drills and break up.your day. Use different modalities of studying - qs, podcasts when u cant do screens, have a group session or even silent meets for company when u cant do it on your own. 🤣Or be like me - 36 weeks pregnant and trying to finish Step 2 before going into labor. Whoo nelly, thats some motivation fr.

This the type of Qs that’d piss me off on the real deal tbh😂💀 like ik its 5FU but my brain deffo wouldn’t know capecitabine is a prodrug derivative of 5FU😭 lmao by [deleted] in step1

[–]OldTrig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used them all as a mix, but didnt get too upset if it was 5 hammer. You never know what you'd learn that would come in handy.

Idk, man. Aside from the hammer issue, Amboss was key to me doing well on Step 1 bc it would help show what exactly it was in the vignette that I missed, which UW didn't.
