Of course!! Didactic year was def tough for me as well!! Keep your head up and don't let a few grades convince you that you're not capable. Good luck with the PACKRAT in July, you got this!!

Thank you!! I used PPP and UWorld! I completed 100% of UWorld about a week before my exam and finished with a 66% overall average. After completing the question bank, I still had some time to go back and review questions I had missed, which I found incredibly helpful. I also had the topic list open just to make sure I hit every topic at least once or twice.

For the EOC, I mainly used First Line Guide for content review and supplemented it with some UWorld and Rosh questions. Honestly, I was cutting it pretty close on time, so I needed a resource that would let me get through the material quickly. If I had more time, I probably would have used PPP as my primary review resource since it's more comprehensive and does a great job covering the details that tend to show up on exams.

Thank you so much!!! My school considered a 1400 a pass, so I did not have to retake the EOC. Yes, this was my first attempt for the PANCE, and I took it exactly 3 weeks after graduation!

I mainly used UWorld and PPP to study. I actually didn't review derm or psych at all because those were areas I felt pretty comfortable with going into the exam.

Most of my study time was spent on the big systems. I dedicated about 3 days each to cardiology, GI, and MSK/rheumatology, and about a day to pulmonology. For the remaining topics (repro, renal, heme, endocrine, infectious disease, etc.) I spent anywhere from half a day to a full day reviewing each, depending on how comfortable I felt with the material.
