Got my ck score last Wednesday guys. It’s 252! A HUGE thanks to everyone in this group. I will share my study plan and exam experience, although it’s pretty similar to previous experiences we’ve read on this group.
Study time: 6 months. But my serious studying with 12-14 hrs/ day started only after I fixed a date for the exam ( like 6 weeks before)
Kaplan qbank: did 75% of the bank. I took notes, but never read them. Do this only if you have time. I feel like it didn’t help a whole lot.
UW q bank: I’m sure you already know, but this was my saviour! 1st round-timed, random, scored 64% I didn’t take notes. 2nd round- timed random, scored 89%. Here, I took notes only on wrong questions.
CMS: did all online. Scored 75- 85%. Took notes.
NBMEs: I avoided because I failed (203) NBME 7, 2months before the exam.
UWSA1: 259
UWSA2:251
Exam day: didn’t feel too tired, because time passed pretty fast. But yes, I was able to narrow down the answer stems to last 2, but had to guess from there. Some questions were pretty straightforward. I ran out of time in like 5 blocks! Skipped the abstract question.
This group helped a lot. Especially during CMS questions! So thanks heaps!
