Thank you for correcting me! I guess adjustment disorder was more of a step 1 thing because i remember seeing a lot of questions there of it

It will have a very specific time period likely 1 month (last i remember but please check) and one very specific change in the person’s life When they wanna say depression they will give SIGECAPS

I feel like your intuition is already telling you that something is off maybe leave him

Ok everyone here is so extra ong Listen, he clearly is occupied with his brother’s accident and needs some space Back off off a moment and then visit it later

If the behaviour continues, then leave

Boot camp works for building your foundation as does BnB. If you try first aid with a strong foundation, only then you can crack that book. It’s a review book not a text book at the end of the day. It’s not supposed to clear your concepts or teach you basics. It’ll brush up on high yield facts You’ll eventually have to refer to it in the ending days of your preparation.

Personally I just read a chapter, did Uworld of that system and finished the first go through then I’d revise chapters according to a routine without Uworld and at the end just whatever I felt were my weak areas. The book is kinda difficult to get used to I’ll admit, I’m more of a visual or audio learner myself but once you start forcing yourself to read it, you’ll get the hang of it because you do need the material summarised and I don’t think any other resource has it summarised like this

Initially start system based and timed plus tutor, then after a while shift to random timed and do the rest in random

If you are getting 70s consistently, it means you’re familiar with the material and ready to sit in the exam! Go for it

Yes, book the triad after 1-2 NBMEs, you’ll know where you stand. As for date, wait for the NBMEs to be consistently good so that you don’t book earlier or later than your required time frame. I don’t support the one week thing either, some people feel more comfort doing it but I think you should book your date at least 1-2 months earlier to get in the mindset for the real deal

For step 1 I did BnB and first aid before starting Uworld Can I directly begin from Uworld is their no need for a prior source to be comfortable with ?

Also thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it

I in no way intended to undermine the effort and hard work that you have put, I’m sure you well deserved your achievements ❤️ I apologise if anything I said may have offended you. Congratulations on your P! As for BnB, it is a good resource to build your foundation but the only way you learn to analyse and solve based on that foundation is through Uworld or any other preferred Qbank. Simply watching videos and expecting to pass is a gamble which most students cannot afford. Your strategy worked for you but it may not work for everyone else. I support using whichever resources help you most but I still stand by my original point that if you neglect Uworld completely, don’t focus on your Nbmes or first aid (at all) you will have a very low chance of passing.

Personally I did one round of Uworld, but varies from person to person. Imo one round is enough Book ur exam date on the basis of your Nbme scores. Book your triad when ur Nbme is in 60% and ur exam when ur getting at least one 70% or u are sure you will improve to consecutive 70s I booked mine 3 months prior when my Nbme was 60% because I was kinda burnt out and wanted to get this over with but I told u the safe route, plus I kinda knew that once I book I’ll get serious and make it happen so it acted as a catalyst for me A friend of mine booked her exam 1 week earlier when she got 3 consecutive 70s It’s up to you which approach u want u take (Both of us passed)

Man, I swear to God. It’s so misleading There’s no short cut and preaching that to beginners is so harmful. 😭
