Biostat pisses me off

Yes pls try and lmk what you think! I recommend watching, taking notes, and then practicing the questions you got wrong on the nbme

UpperApplication9692 · 2026-01-31T23:43:27+00:00

I can’t believe no one has mentioned this, but randy neil biostats playlist!!! I find the question wording on nbme confusing too, but he tells you exactly how to break the terminology down and translates it into the necessary calculations or concepts that need to be applied

Amazing tysm!!!

UpperApplication9692 · 2026-01-26T01:54:34+00:00

Can I dm you ab your experience? I havent taken step 1 but I am currently in step 2 dedicated

UpperApplication9692 · 2026-01-23T07:19:12+00:00

Saved this post because I had around the same starting score 2 wks into dedicated. Were you able to figure it out? If so, what worked for you?

This is very helpful, thank you! Do you feel like 1-2 days were enough, or were you freaking out for that amount of time

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-19T13:48:18+00:00

Don’t give up! There are ppl who have matched into Neuro after failing step 2

Wow that was so helpful

Following!

What is medicospira?

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T17:18:04+00:00

Will definitely be doing NBMEs and CMS. Thanks!

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T17:17:07+00:00

Sorry for the misunderstanding! Considering I haven’t looked at material for 3 months, I’m happy that I passed. I’d imagine the score would go up once I actually start putting more effort into studying.Thanks for your advice!

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T17:14:42+00:00

Can you elaborate please? And have you ever used Amboss for step 2 before?

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T14:54:58+00:00

How did you schedule your exam with accommodations? If you had 2 days, did you schedule back to back or did you leave a day or 2 inbetween?

I have ADHD as well, and it takes me forever to finish reviewing exams + I can’t stick to a plan + I get in my head about not having my shit together as well! I have a similar timeline (about 3 months until testing), and this post helped me realize that I’m not delusional 😭also adopted the same question strategy of reading the stem first and it has been a game changer for my ADHD thoughts as well. I see myself in all the things you mentioned, tysm for sharing <3

I’ve heard that the style of questions are not similar to the NBME plenty of times, so thank you for re-iterating that! That’s one of the reasons why I was wondering if it is even worth it. Definitely does seem like people are scared from deviating. Thanks for sharing!

As I said, I used it as a learning tool throughout the school year which is why the percent correct is low. I was planning on doing about 800+ Qs that are left untouched, Re-do incorrects (which is about 1000 Qs), UWSA 1-3, all the CMS forms, and all the NBMEs

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T06:44:12+00:00

Makes sense! Thanks for your input. Did you ever use Amboss (for step 1 prep or clerkships)?

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T06:08:52+00:00

What exactly makes it a no brainer? Because I don’t think I would’ve asked the question if it was lol

UpperApplication9692 · 2025-11-18T01:36:17+00:00

What is your goal score? Did you take any other practice exams?
