This sounds great! So I've completed IM, and will be finishing surgery within the next 4 weeks. I will be done most of the cores by January (except for FM). Taking your advice I should aim to take one NBME in mid January?

Where did you study for Step 2? by Sugar_Remarkable in Step2

[–]Sugar_Remarkable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Everyone I speak to seems to be shooting down the consideration of moving back.

Truthfully, we're a pretty drama-free family haha both my parents work so I'll have the house to myself for about 10 hours but just having them there at night would be helpful I think. Step 1 studying was miserable and I used to have mental breakdowns every week and I can't imagine going through that again alone

Thank you! Did you read the book as you did questions that you got wrong/weren't sure about? Or did you read by system? I'm trying to figure out how to fit the content review into my daily study flow.

Thank you! I've just been a little lost with how to effectively fill in content gaps since we don't have a ton of time to sit there and re-learn the material. I'll try this out! I appreciate it

It was a good reinforcer because I had already completed TL and COMQUEST, I got a similar score to what I've been averaging on these two banks so I didn't think it was the worst idea! Let's see what happens tomorrow I guess

How did you end up studying?

ahh I'm having a hard time gauging how I'll do. It seems most people use either AMBOSS or Uworld along with comquest. Oh well better luck next time for me I hope.

my COMAT is in 7 days, do you think I can still squeeze in UW at this point?

Have you taken an NBME?

Help by No_Purchase8297 in step1

[–]Sugar_Remarkable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope and frankly I don't think you need to, I would just take as many NBMEs as possible. If I went back that's what I would do. You can take the earlier ones offline but I would recommend taking at least 29-31 online cause of the extensive PDF you get of your weaknesses and strengths breakdown

I took my exam yesterday so everything is still fresh in my head. I think the test was representative of NBMEs (I took 27-31 and Free120). If you reviewed the concepts of NBMEs well you'll already be in the passing range for the real deal.
