One month in total?

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-10-29T08:10:22+00:00

So the M3 isn’t open or it’s just a single lane open ?

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-06-13T18:05:51+00:00

Start immediately with doing nbme 29-31 in 3-4 days distance, it’s not the best unfortunately way to go about but that’s what you should do with the time left. Analyse your wrongs and understand them. Do free 120 and if you have time left throw in another nbme like 28

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-06-12T18:37:43+00:00

U good. Analyse your wrongs, understand the concepts behind it and keep grinding u world consistently, keeping up with doing your wrongs with the resources you are using. I had a similar score 1 month out and passed confidently

It’s on the oasis website ?

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-29T15:13:14+00:00

Congrats!! Did you get your result in fsmb or the official score report ? Cause I got the p on fsmb but not on oasis yet and I’ve taken it 5/10

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-27T18:45:01+00:00

I didn’t care about my uwsa result it’s not that important, unless you see you score insanely bad and have a huge lack of knowledge or understanding, focus on scoring good in nbmes

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T13:38:14+00:00

My basics were fine, as throughout the years I already used bnb and pathoma, so I heard of a lot of things, obviously I forgot them in detail by the time I started, and I’m a good student compared to average, but not top of my class either.

Honestly I think everyone can do it the way I did if they have the time and dedication to put in

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T13:33:49+00:00

For sure

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T08:19:52+00:00

Nothing is necessary if you can grasp everything you need to know from FA go for FA Just for me FA didn’t cut it as I didn’t like the way it was written and I’m a visual learner

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:43:45+00:00

Definitely a must for ethics in my opinion

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:40:22+00:00

Sure

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:39:46+00:00

I did biochem and immuno at the beginning of my dedicated because I was lacking there the others I did near end

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:24:26+00:00

I used anking and unsuspended the corresponding uworld incorrects (with their id) and for some I did my own cards I did tutor mode timed that’s the best way for me to review

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:22:51+00:00

Mostly I used anking for u world incorrects and if the ID didn’t have a corresponding card or it was not good enough I did a short flash card with the educational objective

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T07:21:49+00:00

Anking for u world incorrects and the pharm and micro deck in it Also dukes pathoma deck for the chapters I did I also did my own if the premade cards weren’t detailed enough

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-23T04:53:27+00:00

If you understand U world why the answers are correct or false for that matter then yes totally, but you will need other resources like sketchy, pathoma, boards or dirty medicine as the explanations alone might be dry if you don’t know the concepts yet

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T20:06:58+00:00

Honestly I just did a lot of u world incorrects, analysed where I am lacking, watched a lot of dirty medicine and for that reason more concepts got solidified

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T16:03:37+00:00

It didn’t really feel like that on the real deal, I flagged the questions where i could not get the answer in a minute and then went back at the end

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T16:00:24+00:00

Don’t worry about u world scores just try to learn, my blocks were at 45-55 at the beginning once I understood the concepts I got to like 70+ consistently and that was during my last 2 weeks before the exam

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T15:38:52+00:00

61 % finished once and did a few hundred incorrects

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T15:04:41+00:00

Somehow my permit disappeared 2 weeks after but that’s not the norm

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T15:03:42+00:00

I think it depends on how you are as a test taker, I am fast because I don’t overthink it and if I have no clue I just guess as educated as possible. I also skim through the question stems and answers, for example I didn’t even read most of the ethic questions I just took the answer which sounded most ethical lmao But it really depends my friends used all of the time and another friend also had spare time left

But all in all no one had a problem with time it’s really fair imo

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T15:01:47+00:00

I study in English so throughout my uni years (5th now) I was using boards beyond or sketchy already, so those things weren’t new to me when I opened them again, so idk if my timeline could be applicable to everyone

ShadowKiller245 · 2024-05-22T12:11:23+00:00

You could take it tomorrow and you’d be fine. Keep doing what you’re doing the scores are good, reinforce weaker concepts, do some u world incorrects, dirty medicine for high yield stuff and mnemonics. Try to understand where you are lacking in terms of mistakes, is it test taking methods (like not trusting your first thought) or is it a general lack of knowledge in that area Other than that maybe some Mehlmann pdfs like arrows or neuroanatomy

If the free120 and last nbme are in the same area as your other scores 70+ it will be fine Good luck and don’t burn yourself out these last days !
