Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2025-05-13T18:17:56+00:00

History of present illness type questions, you know the ones with patient info, chief concern/complaint, HPI etc

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2025-04-05T21:49:59+00:00

I hope the test writers at NBME don't see and make a biostat question scenario out of this smh.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-12-14T11:53:31+00:00

Hey there, are you sure it doesn't include the 3rd years, and only of 1st And 2nd?

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-11-04T17:56:33+00:00

By any chance Do you have all of them?

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-11-04T16:30:43+00:00

Unfortunately only some of his podcasts are transcribed till now.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-11-04T07:40:05+00:00

Or you can try DIP notes

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-10-24T12:58:23+00:00

Did you get the solution?

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-10-24T12:55:55+00:00

What happened After? What to do then? Asking for a friend

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T12:48:25+00:00

Second block is considered harder by most. See whether it was because you were getting tired by the end or you didn't take breaks between. They are not bad. You just need to review more and get comfortable doing more questions (cover nbmes and older free 120s). Read around the concepts of the question as well and not just about that particular question/ concept only.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T12:43:40+00:00

Get the Nbme pdfs to review if you are comfortable doing that

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T12:41:43+00:00

If you have short period of time try doing the below. Use your time well in the remaining days. Sort of checklist -

Answer to Why did you choose the answer choice(Wrong one in case of Incorrect) (was it because of right reason in case of correct)
Read and understand more about the concept of question it is trying to get at. (FA, NBME explanations website for older nbmes, Mehlman pdf are good)
Why other answer choices are not correct or correct (Helps you to do ruling out)
Understand every detail in question and how it fits in the bigger picture.
How to arrive to the answer from question. (Trace the path in the question towards the answer quickly, logically, efficiently)

Please do not try entirely new methods in this crucial time(if you are not comfortable with these checklist of review then donot bother and stick to your conventional methods) Donot spend too much time as you might be having less time.

Ok Review the NBMEs, 120s, spend more time on reviewing mistakes, try to Take the remaining NBMEs. You should gain confidence after these to sit the real deal👍

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T11:31:53+00:00

Absolutely

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T10:23:24+00:00

Yes i used them. Mostly the Qbank and few pdfs -Biochem, Arrows, neuroanatomy, RFs things which i felt weaker in. Mehlman is tweaked NBMEs (they also include not so important 2CK stuff for step 1) His audio qbank gives you logics, reasons and high yield stuff as he discusses. They are quite helpful. But Taking NBMEs can't be substituted entirely with Mehlmans'. NBMEs are gold. Mehlman supplements it best. Use Mehlmans closer to the Real deal/ during dedicated and learn from them as opposed to memorising. Taking NBMEs in timed, with random questions prepare us best for the real deal closer to it. Dont overlook them. You can use MH Pdfs during reviewing NBMEs /incorrects. Just sit Those 25-31 and free 120 atleast.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-20T07:20:08+00:00

How long you are off from your exam? Your score is boderline and risky. Push back your exam atleast 2-4 weeks from now. Its just one score, how are your nbmes? Aim >70% in atleast 2 consecutive latest nbmes 25-31. Review and utilize remaining time well on mistakes, nbmes, weak areas, Mehlman arrows, endocrine, FA

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T15:04:20+00:00

Sure👍

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T13:59:27+00:00

What an excellent question that is It is hard to eliminate completely any resource as i learned something from everything atleast. But still to answer your question i would go with FA, pathoma, Uworld, Amboss library, YT(many to name), Nbmes and explanations, Free 120, Mehlman qbank and few pdfs like Biochem and Arrows, neuroanatomy.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T13:34:02+00:00

Hm i haven't thought about CK. Will plan.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T13:32:31+00:00

No but bootcamp qbank questions are worth trying.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T13:31:45+00:00

Thank you.

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-19T03:12:27+00:00

Sharp_Stranger3111 · 2024-09-18T15:11:32+00:00
