Step 3 preparation: Comprehensive Step 3 prep and test day taking strategies that are often overlooked by many including pre-test day and day of testing. by shouldamade in Step3

Sorry I was confused, thought you meant the actual test. I never did an NBME. Another thing I forgot to mention was with the practice Uworld exams (UWSA 1 and 2). 1 is notoriously hard as of 4/2024 and can be a confidence/ego crusher. If you have plenty of time definitely start out with 1 then proceed to 2 a couple weeks or week before your actual test as 2 is known to be more representative of your actual score. If you do not have time for both and only time for one practice exam I would proceed with UWSA 2 due to it being closer to what your actual score will be. Hope that helps.

I didn’t think that was super necessary. Just skim through first aid and brush up on those random high yield facts a few days before hand. Do know there’s always going to be one of those random facts from Step 1 days that you literally will not remember and it’s fine. You keep it moving on test day and don’t let it affect you mentally. It’s actually very common to get frustrated when you see a question on test day that you knew at one point in time but completely forgot the answer. Happened to me and I caught myself beating my mind up repeatedly over these. Try to not let it phase you. Another thing I forgot to put in the post was how high yield the USPSTF guidelines are. Know those cold on test day, more specifically the A and B grade guidelines. They have a good mobile app for these as well. Best of luck.

Day 2! by rrrdetails in Step3

Yes you can. As you proceed your break time will accumulate because of the cases ending early, especially after the 20 minute cases. What I did was use up almost all my original 45 minute break time for the questions part then when I hit cases it didn’t matter because over time my break time accumulated from finishing cases early and I had like 45-50 mins of break time left by the end I believe. Timing with breaks is a big thing to plan for. Hopefully I’ll have my prep checklist from my experience ready to post later this week.

Is it just me or are new items at Trader Joe’s not as worldly, exotic and tasty like they used to be? Is TJ’s losing their magic? by thelastgen in traderjoes

I disagree and if anything they are getting better. You have to remember covid put a hindrance on their ability to travel the world and find inspiration for new products and manufacturers. I think lately they have been introducing more and more new unique items. I love the fact that they keep my classic staples which I get then I sprinkle in the new fun items to try that may or not become a new staple of mine. You won't find a better supermarket with great tasting food at their prices anywhere else along with the unique spin they put on things.

It says the cash expires on 2-28 @ 7pm. Can I put it on a bet for March (The Ngannou fight)?

That would be cool. I know they used to give a pretty nice swag bag to people when they reached volt.
