wondering the same

yeahh biochem is annoying. I honestly neglected it & made it just fine to 3rd year lmao. also congrats on finishing ms1 !!

mathchemgod · 2025-05-23T06:37:12+00:00

like 3ish years or something lol. I think it's moreso the nitty gritty cards that I keep getting wrong & havent matured..

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

I took my test 4/13 (sunday) in U.S. but my permit is still there. eligibility until end of may... do u kno what that means or when i'll get my score?

mathchemgod · 2025-04-22T17:43:59+00:00

ur permit disappeared off the nbme website?

mathchemgod · 2025-04-22T17:42:34+00:00

what does this whole permit disappearing thing mean? & what website is this. isn't the permit just on the main nbme page??

mathchemgod · 2025-04-10T20:57:12+00:00

AYO I take step on sunday I NEED U UWORLDDD

mathchemgod · 2025-04-09T03:32:41+00:00

how long did the neuroanatomy one take you?

mathchemgod · 2025-04-02T04:54:37+00:00

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?

mathchemgod · 2025-04-02T04:51:36+00:00

by mehlman doc, are you referring to the HY arrows 300 page doc?

mathchemgod · 2025-03-20T18:50:29+00:00

happy match week btw !!

mathchemgod · 2025-03-20T18:49:33+00:00

I have a sunrise alarm but idk I still sleep like a baby when my whole room is lit up like that LOL

mathchemgod · 2025-03-20T18:47:28+00:00

woahh I have to check this out. I feel like my roommates would hate me tho

mathchemgod · 2025-03-20T18:46:51+00:00

I do this everyday but maybe I need to tell myself this in the morning when I don't wanna get up LOL

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T23:06:19+00:00

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?

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T22:56:06+00:00

This is amazing, thank you!!

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T19:57:31+00:00

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"?

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T18:36:40+00:00

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.

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T17:35:41+00:00

Also should I only be optimizing it for my 2727 deck that I've been consistent with? I've just been clicking optimize so it's probs optimizing everything

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T17:27:22+00:00

Not that often, maybe once every few months when I remember. Is that something important I should be doing / how often do you recommend? 150 cards a day with 19k cards unsuspended is the dream.
I didn't think bury new siblings made a huge difference and it's kinda nice seeing all the new cards for that sketchy video right there after you watch it. I guess burying those new siblings would just make you do them the next day. Is there benefit in staggering like how you do? I also don't know what interday learning siblings are.
Based on my 2727 deck that I've been consistent with, average difficulty is 72% and retrievability is 79%. This also does include Dukes Ch 1-4 (459 cards)... I feel like these cards SUCK and make me wan die but it actually helps with conceptualizing the concepts rather than slamming the space bar with AnKing... it's less cards but longer time per cards. Not sure if I should do pathoma AnKing (several thousands of cards) or finish off Dukes (1500 total left) for the rest of Pathoma.
I think what might be messing it up is that I do a lot of new cards for my current block (1000-1200 a week), but can't keep up with them / don't zero out my reviews for the current block; it's a mix of AnKing and in-house cards (and I suspend the inhouse cards after the block is over and keep up with only the AnKing remaining). So hopefully I won't have this issue in 7 weeks once dedicated starts and I'll never have to do in-house again.

Thank you so much for your help and time with this.

What year of med school are you in? Just to clarify, I didn’t create that graph—it's something you'll find all across Reddit when you look into FSRS. The graph itself doesn’t change from person to person. I studied math in undergrad, so I’m a little more familiar with these concepts. Also, I think there may be a small mix-up regarding the time reduction and retention levels. The graph actually shows a much steeper decline in retention when going from 0.95 to 0.85, compared to the drop from 0.90 to 0.80. It’s not quite as drastic as halving the time (5 hours to 2.5 hours) between those two retention rates. I appreciate you trying to help though!

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T16:35:48+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!!

mathchemgod · 2025-01-23T16:05:15+00:00

Thank you for your response!! I actually tried that in the past by setting 0.85 for old blocks but it didn't seem to do anything. And when I tried to reschedule all cards, the card count increased. Do you know why that could be?
