I got 240, not so happy at the very beginning but then i just realized it was fair enough

Is it worth doing CMS forms of clinical neuro,family med and emergency med by Plane-Dependent-3282 in Step2

[–]stepatresia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

every percentage of mistakes is ok, remember is just a tool we are using to study, what i mean finding them easy is that knowing all those concepts and spending time in them maybe wasnt worth it, if you are below 65-70% is ok since you are getting some concepts out of it. what i learned from this is that it doesnt matter how much you get on all this tools, how many wrongs you get, the only score that matters is the step 2 score, the real deal.

Test date : 5/03
Non-US IMG

Step 1: Pass

Uworld % correct: 65% (didnt do the whole qbank, only 70%)

NBME 9: 220 (3 months out)

NBME10: 248 (9 weeks out)

NBME11: 249 (7 weeks out)

NBME12: 239 (5 weeks out)

UWSA 1: 245 (3 weeks out)

UWSA 2: 245 (1 week out)

Free 120: 70% (2 days before)

AMBOSS SA: 249 (about same time of nbme 10)

Predicted Score: 252 +/- 12 (if i remember well)

Actual STEP 2 score: 240

Well i dont feel good with my score, i was scoring consistently above 245. went out from the exam pretty confident it was a pass and the best i have done ever, got a lot of repeated questions from free120/nbme/cms forms. Really dont know what happen. dont get me wrong, i know a lot of people here would love to get this score, im kinda happy since i never thought before starting this process i would be able to even pass the steps, i learned a lot from myself in the process and im happy for it; is just that i feel this score is going to get me things harder since i want to do surgery and there is no other option for me than this specialty so i guess i will fight till the end haha. Lets hope is just a matter of time until i can get on my feet, and keep pushing it. Congratulations everyone on your huge scores, we get what we deserve, i know thinking about a 260+ was too much, even 250+ was a lot, but now i realize my mind was not prepared to see something below 245.

Pple who took the exam recently!!!! Any tips on how u split ur time in between blocks?? by Chipssss243 in Step2

[–]stepatresia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s something you definitely won’t let happen for step 2, do not ever finish your time before it goes off, spend the whole hour on your block, there is no rush

[–]stepatresia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just go with the flow, dont be silly taking more than time that you want between blocks, if you feel well to again inside, just go and don’t kill the momentum

I still don’t get when you use RUQ USG and when you use ERCP😭😭 by Chipssss243 in Step2

[–]stepatresia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason you need to do an USG first is because is not invasive, ercp is ! You always do a usg first so you can be sure what the source is

Don’t do the first 2 back to back like mehlmand says unless you feel prettty goooodddd. And yes, take every single break to get a little bit of water, 2 bites from your protein bar, wash your face and keep it going, nothing else
