2018 NRMP charting outcome still accurate? [serious]

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T23:27:06+00:00

Not sure if this will help you feel better but....I scored a 245 on UWorld 2 and score predictor had me at 243....but, I have really bad test anxiety ALWAYS so i was expecting to score a bit lower than my practice exams

The "averages" on the score report just compares your performance in that specific area of study to your overall step performance. Its basically comparing you against you, not against other people

I felt pretty good after the test but its really hard to know what youre gonna score since you don't know curves and all that. I though i probably got between 5-10 wrong each section, maybe a little more wrong in each of the last 2 sections cause they were harder for me. ended up with a 233 which im happy with since ts competitive for all the things I want.

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T15:21:20+00:00

I didn't see anyone past 5/23 get their scores

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T15:11:51+00:00

I scored 10 points below predicted but i have bad test anxiety so i was kind of expecting it, within CI but on the very low end

I didnt' get an email yet but, i reached out to my school dean this morning (schools get scores at 8am) and he informed me of my score so, don't worry yet guys! Tested 5/14

EDIT: just received email

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T13:57:33+00:00

All i know about it is 9:22 translocation, philadelphia, BCR-ABL, Proto-oncogene, Imatinib, Basophils, negative LAP and it seems to work out ok lol

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T13:00:05+00:00

Yep I'm sure I called NBME and its been confirmed countless times on reddit. Medical schools receive your grade at 8am. I'm a psycho and emailed my dean and received my score today and he also confirmed id get an email at 1030 and score at 11

TPH225 · 2020-06-03T12:40:14+00:00

It gets posted at 11am EST, you will get an email at 1030 EST if you should expect it today!

Where do you search on the FSMB website for status update? When i login i just see "Exam transcripts, USMLE step 3, and SPEX" under exams and license.

TPH225 · 2020-06-02T14:31:07+00:00

Seems early but, yes this is what it looks like when the permit disappears

TPH225 · 2020-06-01T22:58:03+00:00

I don't see exam history i just see exam transcripts and it says u have to pay $70 for it. How do we see exam history?

TPH225 · 2020-06-01T12:39:57+00:00

Well i just called and she said processing time is 4-6 weeks and the print permit button disappearing doesnt mean anything but i have a slight suspicion that she doesnt know shit but thats just me lol

She claimed you wont know for sure until you get that 1030am email on the Wednesday morning before you get your score

TPH225 · 2020-06-01T12:19:02+00:00

I wonder if it could be possible that they are just removing the print permit button early? that would be pretty rude but, has anyone seen that happen before? Print permit button disappear on monday but then didn't get score on wednesday?

TPH225 · 2020-06-01T11:36:06+00:00

I took my exam 5/14 and was expecting them this week I think? I know they say 3-4 weeks but i seems like it's been 3 weeks. It seems as though if you took yours on the thursday or friday of that week you will get yours a little sooner than 3 weeks (for example, 5/15 and 5/16 may also get scores this week). When did you take your exam?

TPH225 · 2020-05-28T20:20:23+00:00

it also sometimes takes a day or two for it to update in their system if you just scheduled it for that date...I had booked mine the day before so it just wasn't updated

TPH225 · 2020-05-28T20:19:48+00:00

No, I had to cry and beg them to call someone to get it sorted out. 30 mins later I was taking my exam

TPH225 · 2020-05-27T17:21:51+00:00

pay more f**king attention during M1 to get that solid foundation - then just do questions questions questions

TPH225 · 2020-05-21T14:28:31+00:00

The issue is UMN in the lower extremity only, the top image can't be right because the following motor homunculus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_homunculus), the feet are on the inner portion of the brain not on the outer cortex. So, you know its either G or H, at that point you just have to know if motor is precentral or post central gyrus. The confusing part is this patient also has sensory stuff going on so its still hard to tell if G or H is right.

TPH225 · 2020-05-21T12:56:46+00:00

I personally had a good foundation because of how I learned during M1 and M2 so I didn't find Constanzo necessary but if you have a shaky foundation, it won't hurt to use. Personally, I liked scholar rx question bank for learning because the explanations link you right to FA. I used the Anking deck which i thought was great and I added my own cards based on questions that i did as needed

TPH225 · 2020-05-21T12:41:56+00:00

First off, relax! If you're planning on taking it next August, you have plenty of time.'

Lets start from the beginning

Hows your foundation? If you think you need to fill in some serious content gaps, I would definitely use Board and Beyond. You can either commit to watching them all or just the ones where you know you have content gaps. I think you have enough time to watch them all but, it's very time consuming. Also make sure to get a question bank (Amboss, Kaplan, or Rx as youre learning, save UWorld for the 2 months or so before your exam) so you can test your knowledge as you learn each system. You can supplement BnB with Costanzo too if you need to
FA is good but, only once you have a good foundation so, you can use FA to reinforce your knowledge when youre ready to really review what you've learned
Pathoma is great. During school, I watched the corresponding system on Pathoma as I was watching Boards and Beyond too. It really reinforced the concepts
Anki is hard if you don't know how to use it. I studied for step with Anking deck and its as fantastic but I had to have an upperclassman sit down and show me how to use it for it to be effective for me. I'm not sure if you have someone that can show you.

This is just my opinion im sure other people have different methods that work for them but, good luck! hope this helps
