    Tip Summary:
    1. Accept the fact that you can't know everything. But work hard and make sure that what you do know, you know well.
    2. Change your environment if you're having a hard time focusing.
    3. Set a schedule but be realistic about your expectations.
    4. Be strategic. Make sure you understand why you are getting your practice questions wrong.
    5. Take mental breaks! Work out, go out with friends, etc.

      What you see is what you get on ophthalmology.
      Take a deep breath before answering pulmonary.
      Remember how far you came from for embryology.
      Respect the elders for genetics.

      @Student One I’m so sorry to hear that. Thanks for being transparent about it though. What do you plan on doing different this time to raise your score? If you don’t mind me asking
      I’m trying to get as much feedback as possible so I can prepare better.

    • @muzamara
      @muzamara 3 года назад

      @Student One so it’s the anxiety that is getting the best of you. I feel like if you manage it you’ll definitely do well. I think you used all the resources necessary to pass.
      I didn’t take the exam yet. I’m an IMG student so the process is even more challenging for me. I plan on taking the exam in 6 months.
      Now I’m currently doing UWORLD (I plan on doing all 3,200 questions) and I write down all the rationales and study them at the end of each week.
      I’m halfway through so hopefully I’ll be able to keep up and do all of them.
      I told myself that I will go over all the rationales at least 3 times. I will go through FA at least 3 times as well before taking the actual exam.
