@bugguy
I was hoping to take nbme by November start.. My September end I feel I should have completed 75% of my uw. I can try to take nbme with you in September end . Is nbme 13 a basic nbme ?
@ bugguy I didn't committ suicide Smile im up for the task
Did most of the "water,electrolyte , acid base balance" chapter from goljan. Left with a few pages. It has numerous high yield concepts . Brain had to stay active every minute of doing this chapter . Overall it was exhausting but doable !!
Completed renal embryo and gross anatomy . Then did diuretics from kaplans pharma .
Did Uw test of renal anatomy and renal physio.
As always I ran out of time and more than 10 questions were pending. But I resumed the test again and completed those questions to see the final score . Scored 81. But don't know how will my brain become sharp enough to answer questions timely. There's a long way to go. I must persist.
Gave one revision to acid base chapter and did pathoma renal videos .
Hi reminemi,
Even I did the acid base chapter. Are we required to know the complex flow chart which calculates the compensation?
@ skin
There are no complex flow charts to calculate compensation in goljan . There are very simple 3-4 formulas. Yes we are required to know the formulas .i also went through all the tables carefully which mentioned causes of metabolic acidosis , alkalosis etc. I think it's high yield topic and needs to be done carefully .
Rest I can give my opinion after completing all u world .
Completed renal first aid .. Dissecting every page does take time Sad
Thanks remi. Sorry for the delay in response.
