I dont know if any of you guys can help me or not. I have been doing the practice tests for a while now, and so far my score hasn't been above 53%. So then I was like ok let me read the material again. Now to my disappointment it was 50%. What am I doing wrong? I would like to get 70% at least on these practice tests. I really need a 99 to get the residency I want. Any advice?
Cause right now I feel retarded. When I see the answer off course I know it. Any advice at all would be helpful thanks.

what "practice tests" are you doing?

hey man. Yeah I am doing the Qbank, where I put 46 questions. I am always going all topics and timed. The score is usually like 50% or something. Sometimes less, rarely more than 50%. When I look at the solution I am like.. aaahhhhh. So you get my point.

i never posted here before, i feel obligated to share this idea with you because i had the same problem for over a year. i just recently finally find the solution to it .


here is how you do this:

before you do qs mixed ,first start in the body system.

listen to goljan audio. let say you start with cardio. listen to the same cardio goljan as many time as needed until you get the concept very well.
then go to UW and do cardio question untimed and tutor mode. you must do only half.
now everyday before you do anything new take a cardio test and time it.
every day repeat the same scenario with a new cardio test . do that until you score 80% or more.

once you got 80% , now you are ready to take the next topic ,let say renal . same story listen to goljan until you got the concept and do question until you can score 80 % on renal.

now , my friend after you have gotten 80% on both renal and cardio , you can mixed them together and time question mode.

i cab guarantee you will be surprise of how good and clever you have became .

continue to do the same on every topic , then add them to mix.

trust me, that will work.

here is my email, let me know how it goes: [email protected]

Thanks for the tip, I will try that. Hopefully my score will be better soon.

Hi,
I'm going through the same thing and my exam is in 3 weeks! I have been getting anywhere from 30-60%...my scores are all over the place.
My strategy is to review the UWorld answers (the principle behind the answer, not just memorization) repeatedly and also read the topic again from FA. The concept should stick after 5-6 times of seeing it.
Hope it works for you.

guys, why u stick on FA so much..
i mean, real knowledge is in goljan n kaplan..
do them well first...
