![]() In my opinion, doing Uworld again, in the same manner, as you did it before is a waste of time. I call it UWORLD marathon because I did it within a week i.e 10 blocks in a day to mock the real exam. I started doing Uwolrd step 2 CK questions second round to what I call “UWORLD Marathon” So, to summarize after I was done with Uworld notes, Uworld step 3, CMS, UpToDate and NBME 6 It was reassuring but over-predictive at the same time. Uworld step 2 CK biostats is a poor resource since all the questions are repeated from UW bio-stats review and step 1 Uworld.Īfter reviewing all the systems from my notes I took NBME 6 and got 271. These questions trained my mind to keep calm while encountering the difficult questions. Particularly it had high-end biostats drug ads and abstracts. I used to see these questions every now and then.ĭoing Uwolrd step 3 opened my mind to think out of the box. I hadn’t money to buy the new forms but some people were nice enough to post the only out of the blue questions from newer CMS on facebook USMLE forum. They have all the out of the blue questions that you will encounter in the real exam. I would suggest doing all CMS forms especially the newer ones. I added new information in my notes from Uworld step 3. I used to do 4 CMS forms back to back in 4 hours and then the next day I would do the Uworld step 3 all system questions in a row, for example:- 160 questions cardiology and then I would skim through the explanations after I was done with all the questions. I did not use them as a learning tool instead I used these two resources as a practice and assessment tool. I did NBME CMS and Uworld step 3 with each corresponding system. UpToDate algorithms are gold if you use them properly. I mainly read summaries, used algorithms. You have to use UpToDate smartly cause it has too much information to absorb. I supplemented UpToDate during this phase. This was the most score decisive phase in my preparation. I did not start doing the second round of Uworld questions yet. I started reviewing Uworld flashcards that I saved during the first round. Phase 2 - Second review and Uworld second round (8 weeks)Īfter I was done with one whole Uworld.Taking Uworld notes during this phase seemed to be very time consuming but it was totally worth it in the end. Honestly speaking, I did a couple of questions right in the actual exam because I remembered some of the wrong options that had enough information to pick the disease. If you are making notes out of it do not forget to include the notes from wrong option explanations. I used to give a quick review from First aid step 1 of whatever system I was doing. I supplemented these notes with whatever I found new by online research. I did not like reading from someone else’s notes. I made my own Uworld notes during this time by taking flashcards screenshots. I started doing Uworld in a systematic and timed mode. Phase 1 - UWorld first round and first review (8–10 weeks). ![]()
