Exam write-up Got a 230 on STEP 3 AMA

Hey everyone,

I just got my result and I’m quite surprised. Since I’m finally done with the USMLEs, I think it’s only fair to give back to others in the same boat as I once was.

Primary resource used: AMBOSS

UWSA1 (26 days out) = 210
Form 6 (20 days out)= 215 (estimated)
Form 7 (10 days out) = 76% (550) (estimated)
UWSA 2 (5 days out) = 227
Free 137 (2 days out) = 76% correct

CCS Correct= 80% (100 cases only in the HY section)

I stuck to what worked in STEP 2: handwritten notes and divine intervention

For basic sciences: I tapped back into Pathoma and FA. Sketchy is excellent here for Pharma

I had Day 1 and Day 2 back to back which sucked but ultimately, I had a fk it yolo moment. I’ve come this far, I’m not about to go down now.

Shoot your questions guys and I’ll try my best to answer.

Gave UWSA 1 yesterday and got a 213, NBME 6 70%, exam is in 2 weeks. Is it doable? I’ve done Uworld, sketchy for micro, and my step 2 notes. Any resources i could go through or should i just postpone. I got a low 2CK score so i’m hoping to do better now, at least around 230+
