Did uw genetics test. Scored 84%.
That's really a great score man. Keep it up
Did genetics remaining UW questions and scored 90%. But again I had run out of time and had to generate the test again and resume to complete it. Don't know how to improve speed of thinking and solving .
Hey that's nice
Don't worry the speed will come, the more questions you do the faster you'll get
@kcbutterfly
I'm worried about my speed . I think my understanding concepts is fine but speed is really poor . Have to read more and be more regular .
Let me give it a week with regularity and speed and see how it goes . My uworld first pass should end by April end hopefully .
I wanna know one thing . Do old graduates really stand a chance if they get good score ?
Anyway How was ur study last couple days ?
It's all about consistency reminemi! Stay on track, make a plan that's realistic with your abilities and set a date.
I am fighting now nearly two years and I really have enough. I made the mistake to take breaks b/c of family etc but this is the worst thing you can do. If you start - try to finish it as soon as possible.

Well I am sure that old grads do have chances. It all depends on your entire package. Scores are just one part of it. Your experience and personality are also an important part.
I know two old grads who matched into IM with scores around 230s in both steps so why shouldn't we match?

Right now I am relaxed, a few days ago I had some kind of crazy restless period but this is over now and I am concentrated and positive. Just one more week. The day before exam I will just do as much as nothing, or maybe as pseudomyxoma said rapid review - but that's it.
Did renal. Now taking a break.
Muscle/skin and pharm for the rest of the day
Tomorrow is endocrine and my two best friends psycho/behavioral 😂😂
@iww16 Regarding pharm, we were encouraged to take blocks of rx and memorize them. In the process - for example - you become familiar with name endings such as "opril": Captopril, Lisinopril, etc. However, the more effective route for me is that at the end of the day, I log all the rx that I encountered in the qbanks (answer options). Most of those drugs come about over and over. After some time, you become familiar with many of them. GL.
Good luck folks. Fight on everybody, the end is near.
hi friends, starting my day with a block of UW, then i will start micro, i am really scared as i am taking long time, to complete this revision, i was originally thinking that i need 11 to 12 days to complete one review of FA, but because i am memorizing everything now, and i have UW points in my FA also, so its talking long, today i have to stat micro, any tips friends, i mean how to memorize them.

@cjk, thanks for your advice on pharma, i really appreciate it. i just finished biochem it took me good 2 days to complete it, i mean memorizing, but when i am doing still so many are wrong, this is my UW 2nd pass.

@pseudomyxoma: you are too good, thank you so much for motivating us all the time, your few words are so much encouraging for us. thank you thank you. can you please advice me how to do UW for 2nd time, i mean by this time everything is used, now i want to revise everything but don't know what is best way to do every qus, i can't reset my UW, for now i was doing bichem and micro system wise, like we have almost 4 blocks in biochem, and then 5 blocks in micro.and then i was planning to do immuno that way.
