Hi every body,
returned back from prophometric centre.
Tooooo tired!
Want to convey only few important issues:
1.Its an exam of knowledge,concepts,its appliaction,your IQ,Patience and stamina to keep your mind in place after a long and continuous strenous brain drainers.
2.The pattern is changed........now the exam is not like kaplan.The new provided by certain members in recent past is true.
3.DON'T FORGET TO THOROUGHLY GO THROUGH EACH AND EVERY CONCEPT OF USMLEWORLD.Read explaination of every option provided make new concepts and prepare your own notes for the weired concepts and your weak areas.
4.The length of Q is increased and they asked too many weired appearing concepts from UW!(I'M NOT SELLING UW BUT ITS TRUTH.I WAS THE PERSON WHO TOLD EVERY BODY THAT FIRST PREREQUISITE IS KAPLAN Q BANK FOLLOWED BY UW IN MY UW SCORE THREAD BUT AFTER GIVIBG EXAM I CHANGE MY VERSION............UW IS MUST!!!!!)
5.OUT OF 7 FIRST 5 BLOCKS WERE MODERATE AND LAST 2 HARD.
6.They are asking 70% of the routine things but in a different and complex way!
7.had too many MRI,ANGIO,SLIDES but being a radiologist they were too easy for me.
8.Manage your time carefully in hard blocks
9.They covered every thing.....NO SUBJECT IN EXCESS
10.Gebetics was tough but limited Q
11.BIOSTAT & pharma straightforward
12.Asked too many weired receptors and side effects of AIDS drugs.
13.150 Q I feel i knew the answer without reading options. 100 I answered with some reasoning,70 Q with 50-50 chance and 30 highly weired-known nothing about them!
14.regarding my preparation,i will talk after score as it was highly unique and individualized according to my need and working hours(As I told you I'm a working radiologist and prapared part time for 4-5 months only.I worked 8-10 hrs a day,6 days a week and also an old grad passed in 1998....so it is entirely different story and will be dealt later along with the score).
15.And don't forget to practive other Q banks and appear in NBME before 15 days of exam........it allows you to assess yourself and you may postpone it accordingly
GL to every body!
