ALHAMDOLILLAH i passed.
Dec 31 2008 -- score 192 (may be i got the left over qs lol)
exam was way too atypical i previously mentioned but some how i managed to passed it, even though i was not expecting it.
patho from BRS and golyan 36
uw online score -- 60 %
uw sa 1 -- 400
uw sa 2 -- 430
NBME off line score 65 %
my preparation was decent but my exam was totally unexpected.
physio - few qs
patho - not more than 15 q
micro - < 15 q
biochem - more or less 25 q
genetics - 10 - 15 q
pharma - 25 - 30 q but most of them comparison. few direct q.
beh sc -- every block had 3 - 4 qs
stat -- (the subject i never touched) few q, i ans c
Histo -- many qs
rest of the qs are not describeable ( many research qs).
very many comparing qs from graphs point of view.
i had almost 35 - 40 q abt pt came to ER dead without any Hx. and q was nor interested in Dx infact cause of death (histo level of qs).
I was prepared for first second and even third step reasoning qs, but useless when i encountered the real exam, what actually work there was ur understanding of medicine.
almost 35 - 40 qs that i answered in each block was a guess.
Advice -- All u need is justified preparation and lots of lots of LUCK.
good luck to u all see u in step 2.
