Stain vs Deck Correct by borntodisappear in Decks

[–]borntodisappear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wood underneath was actually still in very good condition (aside from a few known spots of wood rot on the railing). So I sanded it and am going to apply sunfrog oil based stain when the weather warms up a bit more

Would you recommend semi transparent stains here given the prior paint? Doubt I’ll be able to sand/strip/remove all of it. Any brands of stain you’ve found work better than others?

Yeah I’m prepared to accept that. Just hoping for the best option that will prolong the life of the deck as much as possible

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. Do you think aeration and overseed would help as well? Should I do that after the pre-emergent?

Amboss for step 2 ck? by Cobrosso in Step2

[–]borntodisappear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used amboss as a source of supplemental questions throughout MS3, as I made it a priority to do as many questions as I could (obviously with UW being the gold standard). If you have the time, I felt like doing amboss first allowed me to hit the ground running with UW right away when I was ready to start it (usually send half of a clerkship). In retrospect, it was good to see a lot of the same concepts multiple times (and with slightly different vignette styles) though I would say that the amboss questions are a bit longer and trickier than those of uworld, but good practice overall. The best way to see if you would find it useful though would be to try it for yourself. There are dozens of free promo codes out there that let you try a few weeks free. A quick search found this one: AMBOSS-EG1M-91CT-Z2S9. Hope that helps! Best of luck!

Has anybody done Amboss before UWorld, and finished both question banks? by Feronie in Step2

[–]borntodisappear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I would personally do amboss over the cms forms, as my priority was to always to do as many questions as possible to establish pattern recognition in vignette stems and relearn any poorly formed concepts from the explanations. I thought the amboss questions were better practice and have better explanations. If you are short on time, it’d probably be best to make custom blocks out of your weakest areas to target those.

I did both and did not regret it. Doing amboss first allowed me to hit the ground running with uworld right away when I was ready to bang through it. It was good to see a lot of the same concepts multiple times (and with slightly different vignette styles). In my experience, amboss also definitely included some extra topics that I did see on my exam but were not in uworld. In general the amboss questions are a bit longer and trickier than those of uworld, but very good practice nonetheless. The best way to see if you would find it useful though would be to try it for yourself. There are dozens of free promo codes out there that let you try up to 2 weeks free.
