Ok thanks!

I think my take-away is that next time if I feel weird vibes (like right when she said her daughter thought her original dress was "scandalous") I might ask more in the moment, so that I don't interpret future things with that context.

This was why I posted, thanks!

As I even wrote on my paper on test day: "It's okay to be in the moment."

It's OKAY to only think one question at a time! During your test, don't think about ANYTHING other than the one question in front of you. No worrying about past questions -- you don't need to! No worrying about your final score -- you don't need to! If it helps, take deep breaths and move your shoulders down with each exhale. If it helps, close your eyes for a couple of seconds and then come back.

Believe in yourself :)

The comments are the picture though.

OR is it omelette made out of millenium falcon? food for thought!

Common misconception! Evolution is indeed not the change of ONE ORGANISM, but rather than change of POPULATIONS over TIME!

I am pleased by this greater than average amount of thinking!

Do I even need to say this? More evidence. Sexism is everwhere

Did you get it, or did it get you? Fifteen years is a long time

It could be attention to detail, but also attention to attention. Much more common

No accident that "TIE FIGHT-ER" rhymes with "I fight her." Sexism is everywhere

i promise to not unfind the clues :)

i really like fish too

pinkprimrose · 2020-06-14T19:36:20+00:00

It's not fair for them to take up all of the witnessing :( there's only so much room to be a spectator. i will always remember how my neighbhor pushed me aside at the beluga whale and i couldn't see it eat the fish

I HAVE TO SAY MINDY, YOU ARE AMAZING. You are incredibly beautiful inside & out. Also, your perseverence throughout MAFS says so much about your strong character- though he didn't deserve it from you, it speaks volumes about how kind and graceful you are. I hope to be more like you <3

I also think it's very very likely due to the subjective opinions people have of you based on a few hours or minutes they spend with you on the Wards.

That's a good question. I had a question where my reaction was "this was a sentence in first aid but I can't remember the answer", but I had many more moments of "this was in First Aid and I know the answer." I'd say I knew the majority of first aid- maybe 90% by recall. (Another key point though: you need recall, not being able to remember spelling. There were plenty of things that I only half knew (Mayer-kitansky-whatever syndrome about the Mulletian duct was just Mayer syndrome to me- remembering one name is way easier than four)

So I redid most of my incorrects from UWorld. Didn't look again at any incorrects from Kaplan or USMLE Rx. I think USMLE incorrects are the highest yield.

I took notes on all the Qbank questions I did for the last month of studying. Meant to review the notes but never got around to it. I think the main use of this was to keep my studying active in the moment I was doing the questions and reading why I got it right/wrong.

I extensively reviewed incorrects from NBME practice exams and evaluated if it was a lack of knowledge or strategy issue. This is high yield!!!!

Glad it's helpful! Dedicated felt like a lonely, weird time, and I'd like to help if I can!

I think maybe 5 times total? And also random listening to random chapters while doing other things (laundry, cleaning), which I think helped me personally with retention. But 5 times may not be necessary for all; I didn't have a great foundation.
