hey guys.Just started UW after the official first reading was over.I did timed mode test on obgyn for 30 qs and got just 40%.I did a diagnostic test before from NMS and obgyn came out to be my weakest subject.40% is such a low score to begin with.I am not sure how to proceed.Just keep doing qs or read the theory as well.Is it normal to get such a score in the initial tests.

hi,

welcome to teh world of initial failure grin

.

i was scoring 0% in random tests in obgyn. my first NBME was absyssmal failure in nutritinal and digestive. but teh second time, i had stars everywhere except for 5 subjects. in UW, i make 100% or at least 66% in random mode.

just go back to the books. that is teh way forward. no short cuts doing questions over and over again. tehy will ask you same q in a different way and you will still miss it cos you lack the foundation. i am so confident in my ob gyn now that i am praying for it to comprise 30% of my questions. dont lose hope. you will surely improve. nod
