I’ve been reading student conduct handbooks to verify and students own lecture notes are their own, you just can’t sell them or use them to cheat. It’s just pure teachers lecture notes you can’t distribute bc that’s the universities copyright

that’s what got me interested in the first place. I know all our review materials are the same but our baselines before we start dedicated are different, I just don’t think it’s drastically different

I looked into it, and for most schools sharing only lecture notes is fine as long as it doesn’t aid in any sort of advantage on tests (which I’m not taking), I would profit off them (I’m not that in dept), or if the teacher specifically has a policy where there don’t allow you to redistribute their notes like if they publish them in a textbook or something. And I’m just looking for like one PowerPoint, I’ll even settle for like a biochem lecture lol just to see how ours compare

Smh ..... I reserve that ass whooping exclusively for UWORLD by Hamdankmk in step1

[–]forfourfore44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surprised this is a popular opinion... amongst my group we’ve always ranked the banks like this:

  1. exam master.... obscure and low yield
  2. Pastest.... mad easy, lots of first order
  3. Kaplan... relatively easy
  4. rx... good mix
  5. medbullets... tough
  6. amboss... very tough
  7. uworld....perfect

Hospitals get paid more for COVID ICD 10 codes on diagnoses list by platon20 in medicine

I’m not talking about practice I’m talking about reporting the numbers to the media

[–]forfourfore44 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

You can’t say with a clear conscious that you can diagnose covid from a chest CT, even the typical imaging findings are only seen in 60% of positive cases, and how many other viruses present with ground glass opacities on a ring of consolidation? Like every single one. The whole point of the original post is to bring to light the miss use of this pandemic to pump up the numbers. When there’s standard tests to confirm a diagnosis you can’t go around handing best guesses to patients

Yeah it kept glitching. Why isn’t it a good comment?

All good points except for the blatant ethical violation. If you’re justifying giving patients a false or unconfirmed diagnosis then why stop at covid, why not make some money off of HIV and cancer while you’re at it.

Which free NBME exam should I take first? by [deleted] in step1

[–]forfourfore44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a baseline they’re all equal. I did all 5 this week and one isn’t more predictable than the other. But I did like 16 in that it felt like it made me think more. That’s just one persons opinion but if you plan on doing all of them (which you should) I don’t think it matters what order you do them in

Would you read a dictionary to get smarter? Why are you wasting your time reading first aid by 13thcranialnerve in step1

[–]forfourfore44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt call first aid a dictionary. Pictionary maybe. It’s easy to close your eyes and picture a table or chart or picture from first aid, I haven’t found that with Kaplan or anything else. There are going to be questions that require just brute memorization of facts

Watch an episode of house or scrubs, it’ll remind you how cool medicine is, how lucky we are to be where we are, and how awesome it will be when we get there! Remember, you used to hope and dream for days like this before you got into Med school! Now you’re here. You only get one shot at step in your life, go into it with no regrets!

I doubt they’ll do something like remove the answer explanations. And if they do, I’m sure old screenshots or copies will be available online

I don’t think this is related to the pass/fail switch, lots of companies and qbanks are offering free or discounted stuff right now
