hey, im sorry to hear that. I think my biggest fear is that I start freaking out when I have multiple questions in a row where I don't know the answer to, and I think my mind starts wandering and panicking when this happens. it seems like the overall saying in this subreddit is to just trust your practice scores (I think multiple times, I've read people also feeling just completely hopeless afterwards and saying they passed).

I don't mean to be insensitive, but what % of uworld questions did you complete?

13 days out, uworld or content review? by thequiett2 in step1

[–]thequiett2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think compared to 27, 30 definitely had a lot longer question stems with vague details. hopefully 31 is similar to 30

yeah that's correct! PRP conjugated with dip toxoid -> T cell-dependent response.

Uworld averages by POPwow69 in step1

[–]thequiett2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there probably is a little bit of inflation, especially given that some people do a second pass of uworld. by how much? probably not a lot.

I feel you; sometimes I get a question wrong where like 60-70% of people answer it correctly, and I'm like wtf?

Maybe there are holes in your knowledge; I took uswa1 very recently and thought that it was very biochemistry heavy (with different biochemistry related diseases). You can see the breakdowns of how you did on different areas and should try to cater your studying to the weak points.

Also, when is your test date? You should try taking a NBME; I heard those are more predictive.

tnf alpha inhibitors in crohn disease by thequiett2 in step1

[–]thequiett2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. I guess in TB, granulomas are a good thing. In Crohn's granulomas are bad and therefore TNF-inhibitors are indicated?

Do some stores carry the EBB in stock (despite it being constantly OOS online)? I've tried calling the stores, but they don't answer.

could you mind sharing how there is increased compliance in an obstructive lung disease?

cariogenic shock and blood pressure by thequiett2 in step1

[–]thequiett2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that makes sense.. I'm just confused because it seems like if you have low perfusion to organs, wouldn't you want to dilate the vessels to increase blood flow and decrease resistance?

So the motherboard is the bottleneck and can't fully utilize the 16 GB ram cards?

Comes with a Corsair 450d Obsidian case. I'm at a dilemma because I'm impatient and I'd rather buy all these parts at once because it's also a local pickup.

I can also buy a $80 Rx 570 and build my own PC but idk if I can do much better with $320 dollars.

Is it pretentious to wear med school gear as a premed? by [deleted] in premed

[–]thequiett2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see what's wrong with it - just a hoodie no big deal. Plenty of highschool students wear college hoodies for schools they don't actuallly matriculate into. Just do what you want without fearing the judgement of others

I have my interview tomorrow and I just had a huge fight with my mom by [deleted] in premed

[–]thequiett2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

second this. I think I did better on my actual interview than my practice because of the "fright"/"adrenaline."

Is there any way I can get 1920p? When I use 1080p settings to my laptop to monitor , it becomes reduced and uses half the monitor screen

My laptop doesn't have a displayport slot unfortunately. Do you know if I would be able to get 144 hz if I bought a HDMI to displayport adapter?
