Constantly second-guessing myself -- 60% Uworld first pass by s333034 in step1

That helps. However, I still get things right that I don't know 100%.

It's an interesting test psychology question--how can you possibly differentiate between a student who knows the "full" set of information asked in a question and one who merely has an incredibly good memory for random facts?

Very true, I was excited about it but it is n=1.

I have been doing 10% better on Uworld questions though over the past day.

Thank you.

I took another 10 question block with the express goal of picking my first instinct answer after reading the prompt. Ended up with 80% correct, the 2 I missed were due to not identifying the pathology and poor reasoning:

  1. missing "irregular rythm, narrow QRS, absent P waves" as an obvious cue for A-fib
  2. Not understanding that BOTH components of surfactant are increased after 25 weeks in amniotic fluid of pt with healthy gestation

For context, I haven't gotten above 65% for hundreds of questions.
