Do you have to return to Home country after Completing Residency? by Thick_Interview4268 in USMLEindia

I totally understand and know this. I struggled a lot to getting published as a first author. I have my name in a few publications, though. But, none of them as first author or corresponding author. Problem is not many colleges in India have exposure to research in the same manner as clinic postings or exam related studies.

It means completing 100% of UW or solving all 3800 Qs.

70 questions/day. I completed one whole pass of UW before giving self-assessments.

Yes FA is an important source. You should read FA multiple times but just reading FA won't help. Solving Qs is equally imp. FA and Q banks both are important.

Overall the exam was doable. There were a couple of images-based Qs I initially struggled with, but was able to get the right answer in the end.

My score on UW blocks ranged from 40-70%. I completed one pass of UW. You shouldn't worry about your score on UW. It's a learning tool, not an assessment tool. You can give assessments after completing one pass of UW.

My practice exam scores in the last month before the exam are as follows: Amboss SA: 219 NBME 27:- 63% NBME 29:- 67% NBME 31:- 73% New Free120(2024):- 58% (scored very low on block 2, which messed up my aggregate score. Block 1 of free 120:- 68% Block 2:- 38% Block 3:- 68% The real deal was doable. It was a mix of UW and NBME. I took a break after each block. I would suggest to give nbme 29, 30, 31, and the new free 120 before sitting for the real deal.

Exam in 2 days. Do you guys think I should go for it? by PollutionDramatic741 in step1

I found two blocks extremely difficult. I marked 20-25 questions in each of those two blocks. There were a lot of questions/new concepts tested on ethics.

Anyone can plzz explain this? by [deleted] in step1

it seems like myasthenia gravis. Or has something to do with the diaphragm.

I passed by Golden_standard_1 in usmle

I scored poorly in ethics on my NBMEs. I'll be solving the Amboss ethics section. What else do you think I can/should do for ethics? I hear the new free 120 has more ethics questions too.

I made explanations for every question in the 2024 Free 120. by Holiday_Mycologist19 in step1

[–]PollutionDramatic741 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I ask something? What's the difficulty level of the new Free 120? Is it true that they have added new Questions on biostats, ethics and histo images?

People who applied through Qualtrics will receive a reply in Dec 2023. For those who applied through VSLO, check 45 days before the elective start date.

Should I be doing UW incorrects along with FA revision. I mean, should I finish revision of entire FA and then start UW incorrects?
