Before anything else let me tell you :for sure you will not listen to me but let me say it anyway
You need to know more importantly understand the USMLE world œThey are not paying me to say this œ
'PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE USMLEWORLD WELL !
The exam is doable ,please try to stay calm and sleep well the knight before the exam .
I know this for sure ,the exam is not easier but better written and direct than the UW.
The exam was mostly internal medicine, I would say that 30 % of it, and the rest evenly distributed among the others.
You do not need anything but Kaplan notes no other things ,weeks before the exam high yield Kaplan .
My score was the following : ALL TIMED MODE
Diagnostic test 6months œstart of standing 8months œ:64%
NBME3 :360 2Months before the exam œpostponed my exam ,had to pay for extension œ
UW 60-65% random ,2nd time UW 71 %
Kaplan Q Bank 6 4% did IM first my meekest subject with all subject score improved a lot
Kaplan Simulated 64% a month before the exam
Please make a Schedule one week before the exam ,2weeks ,etc
For example mine one week before the exam was :
IM :3days
Pedia :2days with neurology
the rest :one day each
double that 2weeks ,triple 3weeks ,you know going back œtime spend in each subject œ
please ,please try to stay calm it is more important ,many questions you can answer by simple
logic .
I wanted to wait until my result to tell about the experience ,I went in expecting a a monster
but IT WAS NOT ,IT WAS beautiful !
I have to say again and again THE EXAM IS DOABLE
