Reddit prometric usmle practice test3/20/2024 ![]() I never used anki for pre-clerkships just not the way my brain works. I tried doing sketchy anki but couldn't stick with it. Only use it if there's a concept that you're repeatedly getting questions wrong on or if the concept is just not sticking. I don't recommend you go through every video because that's a waste of time imo. I used it during the last 1-2 weeks of dedicated.īoards and Beyond: I only watched a handful of his videos. Anatomy was one of the other concepts I felt weak in and this document helped me solidify and compartmentalize most of what I needed to know. ![]() It summarizes anatomy concepts very well. Don't be like me and watch his vids early if you're struggling with biochem or if a concept isn't sticking.ġ00-page high-yield anatomy document: I had heard about this document from peers and found it here on Reddit. Most of his mnemonics are helpful and tbh if you're not a mnemonic person I still recommend watching because of the simple way he describes the concepts. I finally succumbed to peer pressure and began going through all of his biochem videos alongside FirstAid. I realized that my biochem knowledge was mostly based on cramming and felt like nothing was sticking. I had heard many ppl talking about dirty medicine and kept brushing it off until the last 2-3 weeks of my dedicated. Was planning on doing that in the beginning but found that it wasn't a great way to spend my time.ĭirty Medicine for BIOCHEM: GOLD. I don't recommend reading the entire textbook. Pathoma (rest of chapters): I also watched those on 2x speed and they were a primary way for me to do a pure content review and categorize high-yield concepts. I did a first pass on 2x speed and a week before my test I skimmed the videos and took notes on the concepts I needed to quickly review before my exam. Pathoma chapters 1-3 videos: they're high yield as you've seen many ppl on here already say. There's a doc with all the sketchy vids labeled but the info doesn't stick as well as if you watch them yourself and take your own notes. I did this during the summer before my dedicated (Dec-Feb) and took my own notes. Watch sketchy micro and pharm before dedicated because you don't have time to watch all those videos during dedicated. That way as I was skimming first-aid, I was consistently going through the high-yield material that was covered through the UWORLD questions I did rather than reading every single detail. What I found to be extremely helpful was doing timed random blocks of UWORLD, reviewing them, and finding the concept in FirstAid by ctrl+F and highlighting it in either a physical or digital copy of FirstAid. ![]() UWorld gets you used to answering board-like questions and the content simultaneously so it's a GOLDEN tool to start as soon as you start studying for step. I had friends who stuck with content review using FirstAid and other resources during the first weeks of dedicated and had to push their exam back because they weren't passing. I did Uworld from the very beginning based on feedback I got from upperclassmen and I was so glad I did. I wasn't as strict with my schedule as dedicated but it made me feel better to begin early. I was below my class average so I began doing uworld two weeks before dedicated during winter break. My school required nbme 25 as a baseline before dedicated. NBME 28 (1 week before): 69% (97% chance of passing) NBME 30 (3 weeks before): 64% (92% chance of passing) NBME 29 (4 weeks before): 65% (93% chance of passing) NBME 25 (10 weeks before): 40% (3% chance of passing) I couldn't keep myself off of here during my step studying period so I thought I would pay it back by making a post of my own.
