![]() ![]() some days if i had more steam, i started watching dirty medicine on topics i missed repeatedly (biochem, heart murmurs, nephrotic/nephritic syndromes, etc.). since i made myself do uw every single day, i felt justified not doing any other review on some days. took no break days, because i’d calculated it out so i’d finish uw a few days before my exam day. routine became at least 2 blocks of uworld (80q) and review every day.nothing would ever stick, so i ditched it the first day. couldn’t bring myself to cold read FA.they helped marginally, was more helpful in boosting my morale because i was passively learning instead of doing nothing. during this time just to see if anything seemed like it would work. i explored resources like step 1 podcasts, goljan, etc.scores were still low (~50%), but i felt it was justified considering dedicated hadn’t started yet. i switched to mixed blocks after a few days of systems, felt much better. rough on my confidence since i was getting abysmal scores because everything felt like it was in the weeds or low yield when i did uw by system (works for some people though, ymmv). i decided to start system-wise-this was not a good idea. started doing 40 question uworld blocks during the last block of preclinical to get myself warmed up.it felt like i had forgotten everything from the first 2 years of med school and that i’d have to start from scratch. literally had no idea where i was gonna start during dedicated and felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of material i had to revise.hopefully this can also help those who experience similar emotions :) writing this more for my own closure than anything LOL. below is about to be a LONG narrative of my feelings about this test from start to finish. ![]()
