When you feel ready, you read all the books of tested subjects, did UW and NMEB ( how is it ? ) scores are great. wink

the first pages of first aid talk a little about this ... it depends i guess on the beginning of the interviews, programmes, matching and that stuff ... So, if you are planning to match in a particular season, youll probably need to be done with your steps in an appropriate time or youll end up waiting for a long time or just excepting a wakky program ... (go back to frist aid)

Agree with good girl, but I have also heard that there is a time period that AMGs donot usually take part in exam, and it is the best time for IMGs to take part in the exam, but I donot know when it is either. Can anyone help us?

maybe the question to ask is when exactly do the amgs do thiers,
by the way pls whats UW and NMEB? im a newbie, lol

UW - USMLEWorld - offers question banks for all the steps... they are pretty good...
NBME - National Board of Medical Exams - they offer assesment test for the boards that are really predictive of your scores
good luck!

Thanks

Swe, gossips, gossips and again gossips, that the Qs might get harder during that period. I think it is now, june and july when the AMG are taking their steps.

If we see it that way, don't yoy all think , program director will see it that way too, so if I am the director, will admire 80 something at IMg exm time slot than AMG 90 & up time slot??? What do you think ?grin

Just the thought of the day nodnod

I cant believe how much people enjoy making up rumours disapproval!!!!! then they tend to believe them and spread them around shocked! ... just wait alittle ShweHope and maybe youll hear it from someone else grin... he'll say something like this : "did you know that its best to take the exams at the same time as AMGs take it then, because the directers of the programs look very carefully at our exam date!!!!! and compare it with .... "

Hearsay hearsay hearsay ... no confermation ... ddnt the people out there study any scientific thinking or at least read alittle about epistemology?
