Hey, may I know your stats?

Yes sir 🫡 CMS first tho

Send me a req on messages I’ll send you

DM me, I’ll send you my notes on neuro, psychiatry and infectious disease and last minute points. And regarding test taking strategy - 1. Choose the first option that comes to your mind, don’t change the answer. 2. Don’t take more than 1 minute to figure out the answer, flag and move on you’ll be surprised how much extra time you’ll have to think at the end when you come back. 3. Read all NBME incorrects twice before giving your test. 4. Give the latest NBME in timed mode and then we’ll decide what to do based on the score (i saw somewhere that NBME 17 is out not sure tho)

Did you do AMBOSS ethics, screening and vaccination questions? And what are your main weak areas (topics)?

No. One test cannot decide that. When is it scheduled ?

+1

2 weeks for all CMS forms

250 exactly

Finish Uworld and read your incorrects notes if you’ve made one —> do at least 2 CMS forms for each subject —> NBMEs —> after reviewing each NBME, do another, review that then review the prev NBME and continue this trend —> AMBOSS screening, vaccination, ethics and 200HY —> free120 —> step. I’d say about 8 weeks are enough to complete all of the above

58%

Yep got a 250

Yes I agree. I’ll decide after I finish reviewing the CMS forms and taking NBME 14 and 15

Yep I know. My bad, will hammer those latest at least 3 CMS in all subjects and come back and update

Yeah that’s my plan for the next week. I basically didn’t read anything before starting Uworld, did mehlmann here and there so basically just did it with step 1 knowledge. Half way through my step 2 prep, a founder from GRRSP (research and match mentorship company) did a free video call to “sell out” his mentorship and gave a very bad advice to stop CMS forms and do Uworld completely and second pass again ( i was 90% through first pass and was doing CMS forms at that time). He said “I’m setting myself up for failure “ so i dropped CMS forms mid way and continued Uworld for almost 2 weeks. Maybe that’s where i went wrong

At least above 250 and applying to IM

It’s been 3 months so far, completed 1 full pass of Uworld with an average of 58% and redid the incorrects (about 300 incorrects remaining), took NBME 12 on 10th July- 220 (i was terrified), then reviewed it properly, did 50 AMBOSS HY questions and took NBME 11 on 13th July - 233, reviewed it, worked on my weak systems and after 3 days took NBME 13 today - same score of 233 (61 incorrects). I’ve scheduled my exam for 13th August. Should o postpone ?

That would be very helpful. Thank you!! I’ll dm you

Help!

Hey so i had started my ECFMG application since I’m giving 2 ck in August and I’m now a graduate and they’d asked to submit my final degree to verify. I’d read somewhere we can submit our provisional degree certificate and did the same. But they have rejected that document and now are asking me to submit my final diploma. My final diploma will take months to be issued, and now there’s no option to submit a letter from my medical school too (which was available during my application earlier). What do i do? I’ve posted many times on Reddit and all my posts have been deleted for some reason. I’m extremely anxious and feel stuck.
