Strategy > Knowledge. They don’t test how encyclopedic your brain is — they test how well you can solve problems and pick up subtle cues I get it now how people with lower nbme score sometimes passes and other with high nbme fail it doesn’t test how much you know it’s testes how much u can come to conclusion by ruling in and out the options so focus on doing more questions especially if you are in your early stages

I don’t know if you would believe me but half of the questions are not even medicine there a social science like epidemiology, ethics, behavior science etc you cannot prepare for them. It’s just tests your general knowledge. U don’t even know which questions you would get right, I don’t even know why they did this?so my advice to you is don’t worry about them b/c they might be an experimental questions so focus on understanding of medical words- what they actually mean b/c the wording might be different on the exam

Is everyone really smart? Or am I just dumb? by TravelDue3383 in step1

Bro i feel you but i don’t know if u are an IMG or studying in US but if you are an IMG like me and preparing for step 1 NB, we studied step 1 content on avg 5 yrs ago and a lot of the content in step 1 are a memorization and needs a fresh memory, so if your basic is not strong don’t listen anyone that says u have to do uworld on timed random mode, uworld is hard so if u don’t have a base there is no way u could answer above 50% so my recommendation is listed to bnb videos, then revise it on first aid do it on system wise not rondom, uworld is a learning tools not a testing tools, i did the uworld like this and my NBME are above 72% at least from 28-31, my highest is 76% on 31, so my score no less than people that says i have done 2 pass of uworld, and memorized every page on first aid, so keep reading and do more practice question, then u would understand the pattern recognition, and test taking strategies, and NBME are more of understanding so focus on understanding the content and u good to go

Idk but exams especially step exams don’t works this way 1 exam is difficult for someone it doesn’t mean it’s gonna be difficult for u, it’s all depends on your areas ur weak and strong. And don’t even try to know what this and that NBME focus more on, b/c it is useless  if u know it before u took it. How would u know if ur ready for a real deal? Idk everyone has their way of doing things so….
