Hi, an awesome score! Best of luck with the rest of journey!
How similar is the real test to UW Q bank, US Self assessment or NBME forms questions style? Thank you and congrats again on the great score.

@bbnsky, @drgastro, @sheeom - thanks a lot...Wish u gL too
@sarm - I gave my exam on march 31st @antidote - I studied for a total of 9 months but didnt study totally for 2 months during christmas season....so effective i can say was 7 months of fulltime effort... I had read kaplan notes twice during the beginning month...but later realised it was the same like MTB with too much explanations and irrelevant points.... I wud say u can totally skip the kaplan part if u read mtb word to word....saves a lot of time... ALSO THE KAPLAN QBANK IS JUNK.... @gusmle my nbme dates are October 2010 - nbme 4 - 410 feb 1st 2011 - nbme 1 - 320 march 10th 2011 - nbme 3 - 430 march 20th 2011 - nbme 2 - 450 march 21st 2011 - uwsa - 620 I went thru so much stress for this exam that i remember the exact dates when i took all these exams 510 in any nbme is good score and i wud say just revise ur stuff and take the exam soon before u forget anymore....but revise all nbme and uwsa too @ shanma i mentioned the nbme dates above....dont worry about nbme scores...they dont predict anythign anymore....they are outdated....so just if ur consistent and feel confident about ur preparation take the test....as the ques in real exam are total aliens and u have to use ur mind there and understand and answer

@ anticonvulsant
Dude Relax My friends gave me the best Drama artist award after the melodrama i did post my exam...So i guess its a common experience for all..... Yes the ques in my test were so vague, so long and half of them total alien concepts....but still since its a standardised test....i think i ended up with a good score.... Just relax and dont think about the exam... @babanya the real test was very much tougher than any of the material we had(atleast for me)..they were way longer than UW....or nbme.... a set of ques in my test had 23 options A-V. most of the ques were like 10-17 options atleast very few ques with standard 5 options lenghty is the real word for them.....They are all EXTRA LONG...XXXXL But still i was able to finish all the blocks in time and had about 5 min in each block to revise marked ques....except in one block where i had missed last 2 ques bcoz of lack of time... @ jia thanks.I did FA for step1...and loved it....But didnt have time to read it now though.....just went thru glycogen & lysosome storage disorders and biostats from that....it is helpful but dont spend more than 3-4 days on it....not everything is useful...only clinical stuff @thaaj I read kaplan notes twice during first month. No help. never revised. |
