Very few biochem, lots and lots of pharm! (Thank you sketchy!) A good amount of random ethical questions and some of the rest. I felt good throughout most of it except for the 4th block where I was just lost. Exam was hard, not going to sugarcoat it. Spent the next 2 weeks with sketchy, uworld (wrong answers) and dirty USMLE. Honestly I just wanted to get it over with already.

I did 18 and 19 in these 3 weeks and got in the low 200 and was trying to keep it together.Ģ weeks before I did the free 120 at the center which was huge! I got 76% and I felt ready to go. I did nbme 15 at some point and I don't remember my grade. Felt a little better but still not comfortable enough. I'd do 7 blocks, spend the next day or two analyzing then do 7 more.ģ weeks before I did uwsa2 and got a 232. Now I was already in middle of my second uworld run and basically focused on block prep, sketchy and dirty USMLE. At that point I read a post here about dirty USMLE and I dove right it! I think he's a genius. I felt really terrible throughout the whole thing but apparently that's normal. After the gym I'd go back to the library and continue going over my exam from Monday.Ī month before my exam I had finished going over everything. At 6pm everyday I went to the gym for an hour and half and usually watched some sketchy while working out. I spent every morning reading first aid (hated the book) then watching osmosis and sketchy videos on the subjects I read about. The studying included subjects I hadn't learned yet like Gyno. This was to get used to the taxing length of the exam (best thing I did).

In addition I made sure that every Monday I did a full 7 blocks of uworld straight without checking my answers till after. My schedule was made by osmosis to finish going over everything a month before my exam. For May I stopped any USMLE and focused on my school subjects (GI, Nephro, Rheumato and Dermato) after my last exam early June I took 2 weeks off. I spent March and April doing a block or two of uworld a day while still going to the hospital and studying for my exams. I'm very visual and have been using osmosis videos and sketchy since my second year and they've really helped me get by.Īfter my first semester this year I decided to take the exam in the summer. I'm not much of a class goer I usually learn everything on my own. I took the exam in the summer between my 4th and 5th year, out of 6. I definitely want to keep on helping since so many people have helped me. Sorry for the long post feel free to skim.įirst off I have to say this forum is awesome! I was reading it every night before bed during my studying.
