thanks for the reassurance

I was about to get the maxwell quick reference book but was trying to see if I could find a PDF of it but the best thing I found was an iPhone app called quickmedref... Has anyone used it? I really would like to get it if it's similar to the maxwell book cause I don't want extra stuff in my...

Anyone?

since a ton of ppl say that there are aspects of internal med that are on the surgery shelf, I was wondering if anyone did the internal med firecracker sections while on surgery rotation and how that worked out? Is it worth it or are there better resources to stick to? I know many people...

I know this may not belong in this forum but this question is geared to those who have taken step 1 recently and received their scores. It seems like the step 1 forum has more people who have not gotten their scores yet. Anyway, I took the test a few weeks ago and still waiting for my...

The answer to this is probably completely unknown but anyone have any sort of idea of the range of questions they think they got wrong and the score they received? What percentage would you need to be in the 220, 230, 240, 250 range?

so I took my test a few days ago and i thought i'd quickly share a short summary of my experience. Studied using pathoma/rapid review/uworld throughout the year; during my 6 weeks of studying first aid 2.5x, uworld 1.5x (74% when completed 1x, 79% after redoing half of the questions) and...

For those who scored above a 240, how many easy questions that were from first aid but you just had a mind blank on test day do you think you got wrong? Is it normal to get several of these gimmes wrong in addition to feeling like the rest of the test was very hard?

I'm talking about the questions where they present you w. a patient that has some precocious puberty or lack of or absent genitalia and they then ask for the deficiency... I always take forever to answer them and confuse myself during the process. Does anyone have a good thought process they use?

so for the last day, would it be better to go over the **** ton of notes I took form uworld or read the short version of the goljian notes? I feel like Uworld notes may have some low yield info but who knows...

thanks for responding.. as a fellow slow test taker, this is a bit comforting. It would suck if time was what brought someone's score down.

Can Anyone who recently took the test mention if they felt the blocks on the real test was longer than nbme 15? Were you pressed for time?

What if you give a patient glucocorticoids or prednisone? Still increased or are those not the same as the endogenous form?

So if a patient is given exogenous hormones such as testosterone or cortisol..and a question asks how the levels of the axis change.. I get that for example crh and ACTH will go down but what happens to the levels of the actual hormone... Is it decreased due to inhibition of the axis (saw a...

Where can I get these flashcards? do you have a link?
