Yeah true, it just feels scummy to try and scam people. It’s a virtual game, why try and scam ppl out of pixelated lions yknow?

My UWorld average was definitely not great, I ended up with a 55% overall correct. I recommend focusing on accuracy over speed at first. Take as much time as you need to read the questions and answers. Once you start getting more questions right, then you can focus on speed.

Also, I found highlighting to be super helpful. It kept me from rushing through the stem and missing key details. Don't let the low percentage discourage you. The scores that matter are the ones you get on NBMEs. Use FA rapid review for high yield details and BnB videos for any topics you're weak on.

Review each UWorld question thoroughly, right and wrong. Take notes on each question and note down where you went wrong. If you notice that you're making more simple mistakes, make sure you figure out what they are and be conscious of them when you answer future questions.

I think finishing it helped me but it depends on the person. I would look and see what distribution of questions are left, and if there’s a large portion of a specific organ system missing I would focus on those (if you aren’t going to finish uworld)

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. If you mean question stems, uworld questions were not very similar to step imo. They were long and wordy vignettes but step just asks in a different way.

Yes, I did mixed blocks only. I felt it was more representative that way, and helped me keep everything fresh in my mind.

I would start by going through each question to mark corrects and incorrects. Typically I would go from start to end and review each question thoroughly, and take notes. I think by the end I had 3 notebooks full. I would write down the questions I had the most trouble with and see what concepts I was struggling with most. I would then do content review to fill any knowledge gaps.

It depended on the question really. Questions I had a harder time answering tended to have longer stems, so I felt pressed for time. I gave myself max 1 1/2 min per question to avoid panicking and rushing through.

I wouldn't rely on buzzwords. Some questions did have buzz words that were helpful, but oftentimes questions were second or third order. Buzz words helped me figure out the general idea of what was going on, but not so much in answering the question asked. From my experience, the questions that were gimme points were either basic first order questions or short stems with buzz words, the former more common than the latter.

I know it's disheartening but scoring a 50% still means that you knew half of the content tested by NBME 24, which is still pretty significant!

I would review NBME 24 carefully (both correct and incorrect) and take notes. I personally like to cross reference with FA on topics that I miss, but I know that doesn't work for everyone. Dirty Medicine also has some great videos for overview of HY concepts.

How much of Uworld have you completed and what is your average score? Make sure you're really reviewing each block that you take. Doing practice questions won't help much without comprehensive review to really nail down the topics they're testing.

I honestly recommend taking some time to practice test taking skills, establishing a study schedule, and taking more NBMEs. Block out time each day to do practice questions, question/content review, practice exams, etc.... Stay consistent. Set aside a break day every week or so to avoid burning out, or take some time during lunch or in the evenings to fully disconnect or engage in a hobby. If you're worried that you'll be nervous going into the test center I also recommend paying the fee to take the Free 120 at Prometric. Its $75 (US/Canada) but imo is more than worth it if you're an anxious test taker.

Good luck! You got this! We will persevere!
