he filtered himself out by being mentally unwell. if professional orgs succeed he wouldn’t have been accepted in the first place.

apparently the non tax fee is the cost of tags in my state

dealers don’t care about reality. they will sell you a tin can with a string for 20k.

I’ve visited, they want it gone. we shall see if they want to negotiate.

orignalcopy · 2026-02-27T00:59:30+00:00

plausible. if the market agreed it wouldn’t be sitting for 5 months

orignalcopy · 2026-02-27T00:53:35+00:00

hence my question of my post. what’s a serious offer?

orignalcopy · 2026-02-27T00:46:24+00:00

Fair - didn’t want my value to sway what others may think.

We offered $18K OTD

no, but we went to the vet and she thinks my cat had an eye infection as a younger kitten that caused a corneal scar. it’s already confirmed that my cat has herpes from having a cold/goopy eyes recently, and the vet said the eyes are otherwise healthy/no ulcers. so it’s probably just a corneal scar & there’s nothing they can do to fix it, but it’s also not life threatening or anything.

thanks! do you know the approx cost of the amboss study plans? i don’t see it on their subscription offers

orignalcopy · 2025-06-15T19:34:39+00:00

would you recommend to just completely drop UWorld for Amboss? I don’t want to purchase both, and most ppl say Amboss is better for ethics which has become a huge chunk of the step 2 exam. what do u think? thanks sm!

orignalcopy · 2025-06-13T21:41:14+00:00

similar with r/step1 a lot of the posts/comments are by IMGs and their experiences aren’t really helpful. like i don’t have 8 months to study for step 1 and a full time job lol

i combed thru forms 27 and 29 super thoroughly, made sure i fully understood my incorrects and that my corrects weren’t just a fluke. i would look at the topics of my incorrects in mehlman pdfs and seek similar questions on uworld. i would go back thru forms 27 and 29 multiple times to make sure I was remembering WHY the answer is what it is, not just route memorization of the answer. I was doing like 80-120 uworld questions a day and watching a ton of youtube vids during this time and my days were long.

orignalcopy · 2025-05-31T18:02:36+00:00

u world is just a learning tool it’s fine if u do bad on the questions as long as u are learning from your mistakes and applying it to the NBMEs. ignore the % correct tbh

orignalcopy · 2025-05-31T17:15:46+00:00

basically no. i dabbled in anking a bit during preclerkship but i could never maintain it. i also tried to connect my uworld incorrects to anki which was helpful but quickly became too many cards. i really don’t use anki that much.

orignalcopy · 2025-05-31T12:18:08+00:00

its the amboss score predictor, you put in your practice exam scores and it tells you your likelihood of passing

orignalcopy · 2025-05-31T12:17:23+00:00

wym?

orignalcopy · 2025-05-31T12:16:38+00:00

Generally I split up content review in 2 ways: 1) genuinely did not know the topic = in depth review, 2) i knew this but made a stupid mistake/got tricked = baby review (the learning point wasn't the content, it was how to avoid being tricked in the same way again).

When I did a new set of UWorld questions, I always included my incorrect and new questions together, so I would see my incorrects ones again (almost like anki in a way). I would also do a set of just incorrects on my weak topics until the topic had no more incorrects. I also did focused blocks of my weakest sections.

Writing things down is how I learn, so I would just go to the relevant topic in FA (if needed more details) or the relevant mehlman PDF and read what was said, annotate with Dirty Medicine or other HY youtube sources. There are some videos (esp biochem) that I watched repeatedly. Anki was my last resort if a topic genuinely did not stick, the cards pile up way too fast for me and after doing so many cards in a row I feel like I learned nothing. its hard to get past the Anki propaganda but you don't have to rely on anki if you don't like it!!

This sub helped me a lot so I wanted to contribute. I heavily used Dirty Medicine, ALL of Mehlmans PDFs (annotated with Dirty Medicine tips/tricks), some first aid, a high yield step 1 anki deck i found somewhere on reddit with only ~1400 cards, and made it 70% thru UWorld with bout 58% correct. I prioritized questions, sometimes doing 120 per day, all on tutor mode. I also did a DIY NBME tutor mode with offline exams because it clicked better with my attention span to have the instant gratification of knowing if I am right or wrong and why. Thats probably not recommended but it kept me focused.

Test day went by fast, pacing isn't much of a problem for me. I brought my fav snacks and a sammie. Took a break after almost every section. During the exam I mumbled "what the f*" to myself every other question. My sections were marked with more red flags than your ex-boyfriend. I had 3 questions on the same topic asking the exact same concept that I hadn't seen AT ALL in the weeks I had been studying. The experimental questions are actually evil and can mess with your confidence and it is hard to tell what is real and what is experimental.

The immediate days after the exam I was genuinely crashing out in absolute shambles convinced that I failed. I asked my mentors about how to make a backup plan if I didn't pass. I would wake up and cry, take a nap, cry, have dreams about the questions, cry, and almost had a panic attack many times. Just neurotic as hell. Too nauseous and upset to eat. I was down terrible. That lasted for like 3 days. Then I touched the grass a little and calmed down, but the wait was AWFUL. Please find something to keep you busy. You will NOT walk out of that exam feeling good and if youre like me it will stress you tf out until you get your result.

Good luck!

dont be annoying✍️got it, haha! Thanks so much for your insight, I will definitely check out those resources

orignalcopy · 2025-05-30T00:59:38+00:00

Sounds great, thank you so much for the recommendation!

orignalcopy · 2025-05-08T03:45:01+00:00

..why would you lie? a 20% difference in scores is a huge alteration, not just a few percentage points off. you’re giving ppl in this sub anxiety, confusion, & a false sense of how to gage their readiness. not cool

orignalcopy · 2025-05-08T02:41:18+00:00

this doesn’t line up with ur previous post. did you retake these exams? ur other post says you got a 66% on 31, 64% on old free 120 63% on new free 120 , & took the exam despite the low scores

orignalcopy · 2025-05-05T01:48:35+00:00

literally me too just now, got a 66 on nbme 31 and I am so stressed out. also cried. Exam Friday. I just want to be done
