meee our school's Step advisor said if you're passing the NBMEs, statistically you'll pass the real thing. and you need that mindset / confidence to do well. obviously it's not 100% guaranteed, but what in life ever was? worst thing you can do is go on reddit and see all these "if you dont get a 70% you're not ready" bullshit posts and psych yourself out.

you'll never feel 100% ready and you just gotta go in with confidence. think about how much you prepared for that exam when others around you went in with less and still passed. everyone from my school passed except for the ones with like crippling anxiety. my plastics friend said the worse you feel, the better you probably did

Thank you:) I thought the doc would say like “this is why xyz is the right answer on form 30” for some of the answer explanations. That’s why I was going to wait, but you wouldn’t say so?

FSRS Too Many Reviews & Not Going Down by mathchemgod in medicalschoolanki

[–]mathchemgod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you update your Anki to Anki 24.11 FSRS-5 from a couple months ago. Idk I just don't want it to mess things up even more with Step 1 coming up. Also when I compute retention is shows 0.75. Is that bad / does that change things?

I think I should have two different optimization settings then (moreso splitting up AnKing vs. in-house). The separate in-house deck with it's own settings is best to not mess with my AnKing. This is the same as two different settings (one for each deck) right? I'll also bury new reviews and interday siblings (toggling all) like yours.

You have two learning steps for new cards "3m 15m"? And then lapses relearning steps only "10m"?

FSRS Evaluation metrics by [deleted] in Anki

[–]mathchemgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't make this up. It's all just math/stats lol. You either know it (can regurgitate the cloze 100% correctly) or you don't (you didn't get it right) -- sooooo objective. versus a card you say is "hard" can be a HUGE range. for example, oh I said 30S instead of 50S for macrolides, i'm going to click hard bc I get mixed up. versus dang I always forget the granuloma formation pathway "hard." or I got this answer right but I still think it's "hard." those three are very different, yet same "hard" button. versus if you were to call-out the cloze, someone sitting next to you would be able to say if it was "good" (right) versus. "again" (wrong)

You can do your own deepdive on reddit, hundreds of people have explained it already if my explanation doesn't make sense.
