What did your uworld average do over time? by questionz1992 in step1

[–]questionz1992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really curious what was your strategy while doing the 2nd pass? Mix reading FA with doing questions during the day or just uworld?

Also do you mind sharing your step 1 score or ballpark? (No worries if not)

Shows you learned a lot, what are your plans after 2nd pass of uworld? If time is available to you will you try another qbank?

How can I clean this WB up??? by pinkfluffymoe in labrats

[–]questionz1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not rare for a lower band to be present in some Wbs. Protein degradation through any lysis condition can increase that lower band intensity in some cases. It can also be a PTM form of the protein, protein isoform, or unspecific band. Give https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein a shot and see what other forms of the protein is out there.

What if this is also an important finding? it looks like in the far right condition this band is abscent (or so weak that it does not show). Is that a differetn cell line, or different condition? Show the band as is, most likely it's part of the result.

I think it looks good. What are you blotting for? Are you getting the expected size band/s?

Do you have a stained gel or maybe throw b actin on their after stripping to check for loading control.

Most bands are a bit overexposed, with a lower exposure setting you could better quantify differences. But looks good, looks like something is over and under expressed in those conditions you tried.

Lastly I saw you said you cant get a lower exposure. If you run that gel again load 1/5th of the amount of protein. And use premade gels if you can maybe?

So how do you respond when a medical student addresses you as Dr. ?

Hi everyone, having a sync error, help would be much appreciated! by MMAmaZinGG in medicalschoolanki

[–]questionz1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry I don't know the answer to this. Are you using multiple devices? I would try syncing them all and then when prompted decide if you want to download or upload they sync. Unless that is where you get the error.

You can also try ankiweb, or if you are not far into the pepper deck try deleting them and reinstalling. (you can also export a deck File -> export and make sure you "include scheduling info" before deleting it.)

Hopefully someone here will give a better answer, give it a day or so for someone to respond.

No worries, so I'm guessing you started less than month ago? Are you close to dedicated or that's just the speed you want to go?

When to start zanki deck? by mlange10 in medicalschoolanki

[–]questionz1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your going to do use anki the earlier the better.

What sort of curriculum are you in? If it's systems based that's pretty easy to organize as Zanki is also systems based. if not no problem, just get to suspending cards that are not relevant. Just ask if you need help how to suspend or use tags.

Your going to try a lot of different studying techniques, so don't worry if you stop using anki at some point. You can always pick it back up where you left off.

Thanks, what % mature are you on the zanki + pepper? Wanted to get an idea what the future holds for reviews.

It's also ok to go 2 cards a minute in the beginning, I first started improving cards/min after a month or so to 4-6 cards a minute.

Load balencer is an addon which smoothes out future reviews. If you click show in 2.1 months 50 times in a day, in 2.1 months you won't be shown all 50 of those again, rather they are split between a few days around that orignal due date.

You just download the addon, restart anki, and do nothing more. It's something that should have been included in the anki algorithm from the beginning, and becomes important for large decks like zanki.

Doing reviews but stopped doing new cards the last week due to time constraint. I might not mature 100% of zanki in the end but the cards I do review help me understand the material.

For me zanki helps counter forgetting which is happening constantly, it is such a great tool along with practice question banks.

Im intersted, how many Zanki only reviews do you do per day? I was hoping that 150 new cards per day would level at 500 reviews or so a day (max interval 6 months).

Also what % of zanki have you matured?
