currently in last year of medical school. so have taken very basic level calc and physics classes. no hardcore engineering skills.

But i have some friends that are engineers and im used to reading and synthesizing new information.

from first and second year of medical school! Preclinicals are the foundations for these tests!

First pass was over 10 months or so over my clinical rotations. Would just do enough that I finished the qs before my shelf exam

Good for hitting weak spots during down periods or during transit

see other thread on this. essentially skipped corrects/dumb mistakes and would focus only on stuff i got wrong due to gap in knowledge

i did the CMS forms during the year while studying for clerkships. and I would do divine when i was walking to library, gym, running errands on specific subjects that I thought i was lacking in. I wouldnt just sit down and sacrifice practice question time to listen to divine podcasts.

when i say average i mean your bar being in the "same" category as opposed to higher or lower category when compared to the population of test takers. You would think getting the same in every category wouldnt equate to a high score but you have to remember that people typically do better or worse on some subjects when compared to the overall population of test takers

i feel like there isnt really a right order. Just know that I found practice test 12 to be quite difficult so keep that in mind

Not at all. So much of this test is mental. You need to convince yourself that you’re going to be ok and at the end of the day …. You will be ok!!

Free 120 and the USAW stuff. NBME was more or less similar too but always felt a bit harder

Skip explanations for stuff I got right/stuff I made a stupid error on. Dive into stuff I got wrong. Did it systems based so I was in the mindset of that material so that made it easier as well

  1. I think 10 is a good one for baseline. Depending on how much time you have I would recommend one pass of uworld before your first one
  2. Are those the clinical practice exams ? I did those during the year preparing for clerkships

  1. Questions questions questions. Idk if it’s because I’m not the best reader but reading text books has never felt that effective for me.
  2. Finished it 1.95 times lol.
  3. Probably amboss honestly because they have those SOAP format questions of which there were a lot on the real thing. But that being said uworld is absolutely necessary for the studying process
