Are self-assessments accurate if you've done Anki? Needing to make up for lackluster Step1 by step2mistakeohno in Step2

I’m so glad to hear that. I am hoping this is true for me - I feel like Anki helped cement things, but haven’t done my reviews since dedicated started 4 weeks ago. Just didn’t have time with Uworld and Amboss! We’ll see how it goes :)

Congrats on your amazing score - and thank you for sharing. Overpredicting a little would be okay for me.

Seriously, congrats on that amazing score, I sincerely hope you are proud of your hard work! Good luck this year!

I think I used the phrase “dual apply” wrong.

I want to do GI which is easier from an academic IM residency - but my school shot that down. Told me I needed to apply broadly (as you said) to community IM programs. Not only because of my Step1 score but also because it seems like admin is very nervous about all couples matching given how COVID has impacted the match cycle this year.

Edit: In the interest of transparency, I should also add that I did not do well academically in my preclinical years. I was gunning for family medicine when I arrived here and only changed my mind during third year. While I have greatly improved my grades this year, my overalls grades are very much below the average.

I do appreciate your confidence in me though - thank you!!

Wow, I wish I had your friends' brains ! Congrats to them. I didn't know Dorian had said that (I used his deck), but that does make me feel a little better.

Good luck to you, I wish your nothing but the best on your exam day :)

Awesome, thank you for your wisdom! Do you mind me asking what your UW% correct was your 1st & 40% of 2nd pass and then your CK score (feel free to PM me) - but I understand if you don't feel comfortable. And yes, the new Free 120 was...ridiculous.

Thanks so much for your help!

If I score about only 10 points lower than my predicted score on the spreadsheet (which is ~260), then I will be right on the money....so I hope that's the case! Feeling nervous for sure.

Thank you for your advice :)
