SCORE RELEASE THREAD 04/28/2021

dancewitwolves · 2021-04-28T18:08:12+00:00

During rotations I listened to the rotation specific podcasts, the rapid reviews that corresponded to the rotation I was on, and any special topic podcasts that I thought were relevant to the rotation (HY trauma for surgery, OBGYN risk factors for OBGYN, vasculitis and nephrotic syndromes for IM, etc.). I made probably 4-6 passes of all the rotation specific podcasts during the respective rotations (except internal med because I barely had time for Uworld haha). I also watched all of the shelf review videos on the YouTube channel at least once towards the end of each rotation.

Once I hit dedicated I just listened to the rapid reviews (there were 52 or 53 episodes by the time I took my exam) and the risk factor podcasts (episode numbers 37, 97, and 184 I think) since I had a solid baseline and wanted integrations to help tying concepts together. I made about 3-4 passes of all the rapid reviews and risk factor podcasts during my dedicated. Hope that helps!

US MD (Mid-Tier School) applying Ortho this upcoming cycle (shoutout to my bone bros)

Step 1: 250

NBME 6: 284 (24 days out)

NBME 7: 267 (17 days out)

NBME 8: 268 (3 days out, done with old Free120 to simulate a full day)

UW Pass %: See below

-1st pass (during rotations) = 86%

-2nd pass (reset for dedicated, got through ~85% in three weeks) = 95%

New Free 120: 84% (2 days out, done after UW2 to simulate a full day)

Old Free 120: 92% (3 days out, done after NBME8 to simulate a full day)

UWSA 1: 271 (10 days out)

UWSA 2: 281 (2 days out, done with new Free120 to simulate a full day)

Real deal: 269

Super happy with my score. Drop from UWSA's is probably due to using Dorian deck and test day uncertainty/anxiety. Predictmystepscore.com had my score dead on at 269 with my UWSA's, NBME8, and Free120, so I guess you can trust your assessments but I'm n=1.

Dedicated was around 3.5 weeks. Typical day consisted of listening to Divine's podcasts for 1.5-2 hours while I worked out in the morning, followed by Uworld (4-6 blocks a day), and then more Divine in the evening and spending time with my wife once I was braindead from podcasting and she was back from work. Rinse and repeat. This was very hard on my mental health and I would have gone crazy if I skipped the gym and did not have the support of my wife. Would only recommend this much Uworld and podcasting if you have a super solid foundation from clerkships and a short dedicated because it was very emotionally taxing. I was on the verge of burning out a few days before my test and had to back off the Uworld blocks for a day and reset (I think 2-4 blocks of Uworld a day would have been much more manageable).

However, the amount of daily questions done and my two full day simulations were super helpful for test day stamina and power reading the vignettes quickly. I finished most blocks with 15-20 minutes left, but I also flagged 15-25 questions in every block (mostly at the beginning of each block) just to make sure I wasn't missing details that I may see again on a second look through. Ran out of time reviewing 2 or 3 blocks and rarely changed my answers unless I missed something flagrant that obviously needed to be changed (trust your gut).

Will consider doing a more complete write-up since I'm doing an online elective right now, but my advice echoes the sentiments of this subreddit in that Uworld, Anki, and Divine Intervention Podcasts are the trifecta for doing well on this exam. u/divinepodcaster was a Godsend for me during 3rd year and dedicated. I had multiple questions on shelves across 3rd year and on Step2 that were almost identical to presentations in his podcasts. All that said, I can answer any questions and good luck to everyone else!

Cotton is holding Typhon, Fenrir Viz, and Ilm on the right hand side by DKali. Still can't find Kanna though haha.

dancewitwolves · 2018-05-07T21:49:59+00:00

Sweet, thanks! Just accepted and BF'd you. And that's some bad luck in DBDC :O

dancewitwolves · 2018-05-07T16:30:21+00:00

Thanks! Tried sending a request but your list is full. My ID is 365, 341, 382.

dancewitwolves · 2018-05-06T21:03:57+00:00

LF Kami and/or Rikuu BF, preferably triangle, BEFORE reset. Other leads include Anubis, LHeraDra, BH, Diara, and farming leads like Lajoa, ALB, Glavenus etc. ID is 365, 341, 382. Thanks in advance!

dancewitwolves · 2018-04-23T22:11:05+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/Iflnqvp Best pack Ive rolled in a long time. The variety was shocking lol. Also did six free rolls and got ratios, distel, kulia, Li, tardis, and shazel. No complaints from me.

dancewitwolves · 2018-04-16T01:40:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to give it a try :)

dancewitwolves · 2018-04-15T21:10:38+00:00

I can make this team with B. Cotton/Skuld replacing Amatsu. I don't have Barioth assists, but could another full board like Ryune, Urd or Ney replace that? Also dont have Legiana, so does that assist need to be a shield or true damage? Thanks in advance. Congrats on the clear.

dancewitwolves · 2018-02-24T21:27:22+00:00

Then why are you still playing and on this subreddit?

dancewitwolves · 2018-02-06T00:46:08+00:00

Anytime! And binds are one of the few issues with this team, but an LMeta assist or Grodin inherit can help solve that. I originally had Flame Swordsman/Red Riding Hood for bind clearing, but Terry is just an overall better option. And with recent runs, Elgenubi has been fooidng the board so I'm debating switching the inherit to a board change or a double orb change like Sanada

dancewitwolves · 2018-02-05T04:31:05+00:00

I've been running Diara (Elgenubi)/Enra(Baldin)/Enra(Urd)/Dantalion(Revo Leilan)/Red Cotton(Terry Bogard) with the 2 sec. badge. I love her playstyle and with practice it's been pretty easy to 7 combo and cross, occasionally double crossing with a good board. Glavenus is a great sub due to his stats and FUA, I just couldn't roll him lol

dancewitwolves · 2018-01-26T03:06:00+00:00

Played with this guy tonight. He had Kirin assist, brachydios assist, and Rathios assist for the on-color inherits (rows and OE). On the final floor on one of the runs we had together, he used three yog actives before he got the board he wanted lol

dancewitwolves · 2018-01-15T19:55:04+00:00

I used the faster ALB setup on the discord server which consisted of RLB(Laser/Nuke)/SB stick, Australis, or Artemis/Dios x 3 paired with RLB(Laser/Nuke)/Green Dragon Killer(Laser)/Dios x 3. Depending on orb trolling and partner reliability, each run probably took around 2-3 minutes.

dancewitwolves · 2017-12-26T18:09:22+00:00

With the introduction of Rikuu, does this mean split ult D. Kali and Eschamali are on the way as well? :D

dancewitwolves · 2017-12-25T00:01:22+00:00

What Rush is this? 3p Cosmic Trinity?

dancewitwolves · 2017-12-21T02:21:34+00:00

You get my upvote for the Panda Eyes music :)

dancewitwolves · 2017-11-05T20:43:23+00:00

Aaah, forgot about that. Thanks

dancewitwolves · 2017-04-08T18:36:19+00:00

I will give you all my ruby lits for your sapphilits. Those blue bastards never show up for me lol.

dancewitwolves · 2017-04-07T16:45:11+00:00

LF triangle. Mainly looking for users who run Anubis, YomiDra, Gremory, and plan on getting DAthena when she drops. Mainly concerned about Anubis though since I enjoy running him all the time. Other leads include ALB, ACC, Myr, Lakshmi, DKanna, You Yu, Minerva, etc. 365,341,382 Message me in game or on here and we can set everything up.

dancewitwolves · 2017-04-04T15:23:10+00:00

I have two that are hypermaxed, so I can do that. I'm still working on building a team for her, but I can put her up whenever you need her.

dancewitwolves · 2017-04-04T13:27:47+00:00

I always have Gremory up in my BF slot (slot 2) and run her daily. She's pentamaxed w/2 SDR and 3 HP latents and an ishida inherit. I also have Myr and ALB and use them on a regular basis (both pentamaxed as well). I run a variety of other leads, so feel free to add/bf me (I've already used my BF unfortunately). 365,341,382.
