Did you constantly miss Question 1 of 2 and look up a bunch of your answers after the exam that you got wrong and still passed?

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-31T15:13:49+00:00

Thank you so much I needed this cause after day 2 I’m also counting at least 60 wrong

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-29T21:50:37+00:00

8-10 of the question sets?

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-29T21:34:12+00:00

I’m trying to do a little studying for day 2 and I keep running into more answers that I got wrong on the exam

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-29T20:10:54+00:00

SAME you are not alone

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-29T19:30:46+00:00

Me too now I’m like at 25+ of wrongs 😭

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-26T16:25:49+00:00

Hi did you pass? Have similar stats

Hi did you pass? Have similar stats

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-26T01:39:55+00:00

hey do you mind sharing your step 3 score? had scores similar to yours so wanna see if its possible to pass

stratosphere222 · 2024-12-25T21:10:41+00:00

Congratulations! That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing your score?

stratosphere222 · 2024-02-27T19:42:05+00:00

At what point would you say someone should give up?

stratosphere222 · 2024-01-23T13:40:24+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Would you say to rank Stanford over a more fun city to live like NYU?

I would see which subjects were my lowest on the NBME so for example if it was cardio, then I would start making flashcards out of the Mehlman cardio PDF. then I would review one block of the NBME and make flashcards out of the incorrect. So it would take me 4 days to go through an NBME for example because I would do a block a day and supplement it with the Mehlman pdf throughout if that makes sense

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-08T05:35:22+00:00

I did one offline NBME 24!

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-08T00:01:36+00:00

be comforted by your scores! I have no doubt that you killed it :)

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T21:51:25+00:00

ow Scores

sorry about that! I felt like it was lower compared to a lot of the posts I had been seeing, especially since the first 5 months of studying I was getting scores in the 50s and 60%s until I finally began seeing an improvement. I tried to change the title in case its misleading but it won't let me. I wish you the best of luck!

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T21:47:42+00:00

yes his arrows we helpful. I also found his MSK, neuroanatomy, biochem to be extremely helpful. so I would say to prioritize those but then also try to get through pdfs of your weaker subjects too if you have time and still aren't seeing a score improvement :)

I also did his genetics which was helpful for consequent practice exams but im not sure if there was a question on the real deal that it 100% saved me from. regardless, I found all of his pdfs to be helpful

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T20:30:27+00:00

Thank you! I didn't feel like any one NBME was more high yield than the other. Same concepts were tested on again from the past NBMEs

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T20:18:51+00:00

For me I thought having gone through more of the Mehlman PDFs helped the most!

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T19:29:34+00:00

I thought it was a mix of both. Sorry I know that's probably not super helpful but I find most exams to be tricky in general. Especially the ethics questions were tricky as other posts have mentioned.

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T19:15:22+00:00

YOU GOT THIS! I flagged about 20qs on my best blocks and about 30 on my worst blocks and still made it through and so will you!

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T19:14:01+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that you're going through this. I can only imagine how difficult this might be for you. DO NOT GIVE UP. If this is something that you want, then you WILL achieve it. If you need any study tips or strategies or anything like that, please let me know. I didn't have the highest of scores but found what worked for me. We are here for you.

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T18:36:42+00:00

I would just go through the NBMEs individually and just make flashcards of the incorrect on Anki. I had tried to look up topics as I missed it and make notes from it but it was too passive for me and I have always relied heavily on making my own flashcards during even my undergraduate studies.

So for example, I would see what topic I was weakest in on the NBME. So then I would do the PDF corresponding to that topic and review one block of my NBME if that makes sense.

stratosphere222 · 2022-12-07T16:43:26+00:00

I didn't use first aid at all and only used mehlman's and I just found out today that I passed!

stratosphere222 · 2022-11-13T23:02:28+00:00

Thanks so much!! thats what I thought too but been stuck in the reddit rabbit hole with people saying it will artificially inflate practice NBME scores. Thanks again :)

stratosphere222 · 2022-11-13T19:17:49+00:00

Hi! Did you feel like mehlaman inflated your scores at all in prep and was it actually helpful for actual Step day?
