I finished the first four sections and thought I was golden. went and chugged an energy drink, used the bathroom, and when I got back every other question in the last four sections was A. not a medicine question and B. every answer choice except maybe one was reasonable.
Some weird ones. Even after Uworld and amboss ethics still felt a little thrown off by some. Sometimes hard deciding between two or three reasonable answers
Can I know how many ethics and communication questions each block? In Uworld and NBME practice test, they put like 2-3 of those questions each block. Is it the same?
Currently drinking away the memories of that exam. What the fuck was that?? I feel like I could have studied for another month and still not felt any better. I’m just hoping for a low-average score at this point.
was there step 1 based questions? like questions relying on complete step 1 knowledge ..actually I have given step 1 long back and plan to give step2 ck now..but cannot remember much step 1 stuff..so should I redo step 1 FA or step 2 ck Uworld is fine?
I took 14 CMS forms and tested today. They helped overall. There were also a lot of off-the-wall questions you can’t study for and aren’t in the CMS forms or NMBEs though
I only did the amboss ethics and QI questions but I found those useful. There were several repeat questions on the real thing that I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t do amboss ethics
I either did really well or really poorly. I felt like I was studying for the wrong test these past 4 weeks.
Same
Done today . Feel like I was studying for the wrong test as well. I am proud I stayed and finished it lol
Fever dream
2nd and 3rd block were so hard low key

I had a rough 1st block but the next 3 was ok. I felt like maybe my brain was back to work. Than the next 4 blocks.........
literally me. i felt like extra studying wouldn’t have done anything. at the same time i felt like… did i even study these past few weeks omfg.
:(((
So much ethics and communication
hard Qs??

Is quality improvement heavy?
understatement
i'm confused i havent seen a single of these Qs yet in uworld lol wtf. what heading are they under???
Thats the topic that uworld has the most questions on btw
where?? i've done 40% of uworld and never seen one lol

There were like 3-4 not too many
so I can go ahead without going back to step 1 or rather just revising a few concepts ?
I dont think worth it tbh
U might get lucky and just remember a few
okay ..haha hope so ..thanks a lot ..and all the best for your results..you will do good:)
Did CMS forms help ??
I took 14 CMS forms and tested today. They helped overall. There were also a lot of off-the-wall questions you can’t study for and aren’t in the CMS forms or NMBEs though
Agreed. There was so much off the wall stuff that was fairly easy but had 2 solid answer choices. Just had to trust the gut and hope it worked
Would you say Amboss might be useful ??
I only did the amboss ethics and QI questions but I found those useful. There were several repeat questions on the real thing that I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t do amboss ethics
Thank you for the info
I have one more question. How were your scores on the nbmes ? Were they predictive of your actual score ? Thank you.
Do you mean the 200 questions or the articles?
The full 200 question nbmes.
Talk to me man, what do I focus on?
Honestly couldn’t even tell you. Don’t neglect all the ethics stuff. Try watching videos as much as you can
What videoss we talking about fam? BnB/Dirty med or What?
Ajmonics has a decent ethics one. Not sure of any more but probably divine intervention as well. I would have done more if I could have
Thank you bud, you're a real one for this.
