got my results>>>>248:) - kasra
#21
@wanderlust:I had 2 abstracts and 2 drug ads in 4 of the blocks,in these blocks I had 1 more biostat Qs but in other blocks I had 2 or 3 biostat Qs.They ask you the basic conceptual questions suck as calculating sensitivity and etc but the major problem is time management.for example I had 2 Qs asking me about NNT ,I knew how to calculate NNT but because I was short on time I'm pretty sure I got them both wrong.
The U.W is enough for biostat but in order to do these Qs well in exam you have to manage the time quite well.

@summayy007:honestly I don't know how many mistakes I did commit but had the same feeling as you when got out the exam center.So just relax and don't think about your exam performance,as the more you think about it you will only remember tough Qs and the mistakes you've made, not the Qs that you did correctly.

@kasra
thanks for telling me about biostats. another question, did you find the exam emphasizing more ethics, professionalism questions? I read on the usmle website bulletin emphasizing changes on the exam this year such as more ethics, etc. How did you prepare for these? Was uworld enough? Thanks

@wanderlust:no,not really!I only had 3 or 4 ethic questions overall and I think only one of them was very hard to answer.I think U.W is enough also i studied ethics from first aid for step 1(it was only 4 pages and it was more than enough).

@usmlerock99: no they are not longer than U.W or NBME.There are all sorts of Qs from short to long but yes,the time Mx is very hard because of the stress and the drug ads and abstract questions,However the other Qs are just like U.W.
