USMLE SCORE 244

Assalam o Alaikum. I usually do not post on forums or pages but my today's post is especially to motivate those who have kids , living abroad and lot more other responsibilities..
I'm a mother of 3 year old. And Ma Sha Allah he keeps me on my toes all the time..🤣..
So it's possible if you have true determination..
I received my score 
It's 244 Alhamdulillah
I'm the one who felt horrible after test. When I came out i felt if I got hit by truck..
But honestly no matter how difficult is your exam ,
Trust Allah
Trust your hardwork
Trust your self assessment scores
My assessment scores
Each nbme was taken after every 2 weeks. Except last 10 days during which I took nbme 18, UWSA 2 and free 120
Nbme 13 (225)
Nbme 15 (225)
Nbme 16 (240)
Nbmes 17 (240)
Nbmes 19 (240)
Nbmes 18 (240)
Uwsa 1 (243) as baseline
Uwsa 2 (249)
Free 120 87%
I went to exam with full confidence.
But as I started exam i felt that it was nothing like anything I have taken before. I was guessing 50% of times.
But to be honest now I feel if you have prepared well you can perform well in exam no matter how difficult it is.
I was heavily tested on
Pharma, micro, immuno, stats, ethics..
Patho was very little..
Resources used
First aid
UW 2 times
Kaplan qbank
Kaplan books for immunology, genetics, biochem, molecular, anatomy...
Physio...BRS
Patho... our favourite pathoma
Biostats UW and kaplan
First 3 chapters of pathoma should be on your. Finger tips..
Plus I used up-to-date where ever I felt myself confused ...
One more thing.there is nothing like low yeild or high yield for exam. Everything is high yeild..

RESIDENCY INTERVIEW EVALUATION FORM

I have attached a sample evaluation form that is used to evaluate applicants during an interview. You can score a theoretical maximum of 120 points. Let’s discuss it in detail: 1) USMLE Scores (2 to 10 points): After you get the interview, your scores do matter but not to the same extent as interview skills! You can score 10 points provided you have great scores which correspond to >=245 on step 1 and >=253 on CK. Step 3 is not mentioned on the form and its importance varies depending on the specialty that you are applying and the program. For e.g. Psychiatry places a great weightage on step 3 while IM is not that rigid about step 3. 2) Medical Knowledge (other than USMLE scores) (0 to 10 points): When you are asked any clinical question, this is where your clinical experience will help you. A person who has strong clinical experience will nail this section vs. a person who does not have clinical experience will not be able to create an impression in this section. 3) Me...

Dear (future) Doctors, I am Medhat Farwati, a Syrian graduate from Aleppo University, Faculty of Medicine. Hereby I share with you my experience with Step 2 CK. 1. Score: 284 2. Self-assessments: UWSA 1: 273 (2 months out) UWSA 2: 276 ( 1 week out) NBME 7: 277 (1 week out) NBME 8: 280 (3 days out) 3. Preparation time: After I was done with Step 1, I moved to the US as a postdoctoral research fellow. As such, I realized it is going to be challenging to navigate my research du ties, US rotations, Step 2 CS exam, and Step 2 CK preparation. Collectively, the actual preparation time for CK was 12 months with an average studying time ranging from 4 hours a day for the first 10 months to 8 hours a day for the last 2 months prior to my exam. 4. Materials used: UW Step 2 CK (x3) UW Step 3 (x2) Kaplan Q bank (x1) Internal Medicine Essentials Q bank De Virgilio (surgery textbook) Up to date and Medscape Google, YouTube, and Siri 😊 UW Step 2: Your baseline. Most people preparing for CK rega...

Step 1-238

Hello guys, I want to share my experience as a gratitude for all the people that shared their step 1 journey before .For me all the stories posted in this group gave me strength to continue and became my guidelines in a process from I didn’t know anything about.  Started with Kaplan lecture notes except for pathology. Then I watched all Kaplan 2014 videos except for pathology. Then I did Pathoma and gave my first FA read along with DIT videos, it made it easier to digest the book. Then I solved Usmle Rx and jumped straight to Uworld , first pass timed random mode score 62 % and after that I made it second time 85%. I felt confident with the knowledge I had but not with my test taking skills because I made online nbme 15 with a score of 213 and a lot of silly mistakes so I decided to do Kaplan qbank timed random mode( score 77%). I felt is very strong in anatomy and physiology concepts. After that I started to make more nbmes and I realize that my weakness was test taking skill...
