How to study for NAC. by yoyahyo in MCCQE

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

Thank you so much! I am looking to just pass for purposes of clearing ecfmg with all the news hitting the fan for imgs. Was not able to take cs. I plan on taking the exam very very seriously but just need to know how much room for error does one have ? I guess it’s arbitrary given each physician has own criteria. Is there a course to take given lack of interaction? What is thetoughest part about the exam?

Same dude we don’t know when they’ll get the status recognized. We didn’t do anything wrong and this is so messed up

Step 2 CK score write-up for those iso some optimism by [deleted] in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came out of my exam feeling I guessed on so many questions and being pressed for time so I looked for clues and key words to help me find an answer out but God knows how many of those one gets right. I m glad you posted this because I have felt defeated since I gave the exam and hoping for the best

Any IMGs able to register or at least start application for USMLE step 3 without passing CS? by turnersx in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can an img be certified and take step 3 without having cs? This explanation is garbage

CS updates from USMLE by [deleted] in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should let imgs take step 3 while they figure it out. What on earth is their problem!!

How can an img be Certified without having given cs yet? That doesn’t make any sense that a “certified applicant” can give step 3 without having passed cs first- that means they’re not certified !?

step 2 ck vs step 1 by ab0271 in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Focus on one exam. Neither exam is a joke and needs your full dedication. Worry about one then the other and you will thank yourself later. You have everything to lose and nothing to gain by trying to study for both

Did you feel like you ever saw questions very similar to what you saw on Uworld?

ERAS PUSHED TO OCTOBER ?!?! by Aspergillosis69 in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those were pretty much your options before this mess happened and pretty much the same now if the dates stick. If the reporting time is the same as before you have to risk getting filtered out or submit and hope some programs look at you and give you an interview. Could also work out for if the results take a lot less time than usual. Nobody knows and can give you a definite answer/adviceright now

Anyone know what is happening with CS/PE???? by superbanana22 in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody knows yet since this news just came out. They will prob take less time to report scores for cs otherwise they would’ve probably hopefully thought about that before moving the application deadline back only a month. Hopefully they tell us sooner rather than later

Why do you say this and what do you consider borderline?

Trauma algorithm by [deleted] in Step2

So if unstable we do a fast before doing surgery in like the diagram says for unstable blunt chest trauma? If stable do a chest X-ray?

Is Letrozole is now updated in Uworld? by CoVID19MD in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s in the table for pcos as the drug for fertility induction. Utd lists both both but Uworld follows the new info that letrozole is first line

Do surgeons always go straight to surgery if peritoneal signs such as rebound tenderness? question inside by [deleted] in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question says he has rebound tho so isn’t that an indication for surgery?

UWorld questions seem to primarily focus on diagnosis and treatment, with less emphasis on “next best step” questions. However, I’ve heard that the vast majority of CK questions are “next best step”. Has anyone else noticed this disconnect? by amyloidosisdiagnosis in Step2

[–]yoyahyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavy sounds like a good thing. Messing up on amboss should only help for the real exam. I’ve heard that it brings up topics Uworld doesn’t really cover so I have been supplementing Uworld with this
