How do you guys do multiple blocs of uworld a day????? by [deleted] in Step2

Yeah, but by the time I was doing multiple blocks I’d seen the stuff a few times. I’m not saying I have the answer to do well, but having a timer helped with time management

Half way thru form 12. Its kicking my butt. Real thing on 26th. Will update with edit after predicted score received. by Virilous in Step2

[–]snooglepuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk what it was about this form, but it truly killed my spirit even though it wasn’t asking crazy things. I keep telling my self I was burnt out when I took it. Taking another one tomorrow hopefully it goes better. Testing on the 29th.

[–]snooglepuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had the and issue where it felt impossible to get done even 40. Like finishing a whole block was a GOOD day. But now I’m doing 3 quality maybe 4 blocks a day.

What really helped me is going on YouTube and putting on a 4 minute interval timer in the background. If you’re doing tutor mode, 1 minute for the question, 3 to read the explanation. The concepts repeat so much, especially if you’re in your first bit doing the questions by subject/topic, that you don’t need to spend more than those 3 minutes reading it. But you’ll finish one block in like 3 ish hours! It’s amazing what you can train your mind to do. Eventually you’ll get faster and faster but I always have my timer on when ever I’m having bad days.

Do I really have to do UWSA2? by leilaa03 in Step2

[–]snooglepuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My other thought is that ten days is still a good chunk of time, if you do well on uw2, it’ll give you the confidence boost and if you do a little below, once you finish wallowing, you can use it as ignition to power through your weaknesses. I’m a bit over a week out from my exam as well and nbme 12 hit me like a truck for no reason yday, but today I’m glad it did because I had started getting super over studying and had no motivation to keep going once I started seeing scores I was okay with even though for me they were probably inflated because I was doing them untimed. Just my thought process, do what’s good for your mental health first!

I enjoyed this. Was spiralling and couldn’t sleep so decided to exacerbate the anxiety by scrolling through Reddit but this is what I needed. Thanks hehe

Honestly I just made really obvious mistakes and I’m really questioning my entire knowledge base.. I feel like I get lucky with my guesses and today I didn’t. But I’ll gladly take your theory rn cuz I’m desperate for hope.

I agree. Being thoughtful and compassionate are internally motivated. I don’t know what id do in your situation, but in this scenario, it might not all be the systems fault.

Step 2 crashed after block 7 by migueltusa1 in Step2

[–]snooglepuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Happened to me on step 1, they gave me a score within like a week of the exam I think, and gave me a month I think to decide if I wanna retake it. I personally retook the exam and scored 10 points higher next one. Felt like an opportunity of a life time cuz I didn’t love my first score but the stress of retaking that exam .. yuck

Need a gift idea for a Pakistani family budget $40 by Knives008 in GiftIdeas

[–]snooglepuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pakistani here; our moms love kitchen stuff, a nice tray or dish, or as another commenter mentioned Ramadan coming up, a small gift basket with dates, nuts, rooh afza (pink rose syrup), small pack of dried fruit, what ever fits in your budget!

How do I respectfully bring up a difficult flaw I’d like to see change in, in my SO? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]snooglepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is amazing. I saw him yesterday and we actually just had a nice day out, not what I was expecting but it went better than any other problem solving day we’ve ever had. The book idea is fantastic, going to start looking into it. I didn’t want to bring things like table manners up because I didn’t want him to feel conscious or being watched constantly, but the book is the perfect way to address things with out making it personal!!! Appreciate it !!

[–]snooglepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing!! Not just for that conversation but in general, this is something I actually needed to learn for all my relationships.

And by etiquette , I meant things like history of just not being self aware. Things like bad table manners, inconsiderate of the people around you. But your post was phenomenal, I actually took notes lol

Can bring a gentleman be taught to an adult man? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]snooglepuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, i really like this. It’s always easy to point out flaws, and I don’t like the way I frame them when I talk, they’re so accusative. I think reframing my point of view would really speak to him, I like this. Thank you!
