I did some UW pathology questions - tutor mode and got ~60%
But the weird thing is that I get questions wrong which 70% of people get right, and I get questions right which 70% of people get wrong confused

preliminarily, i am guessing i am lacking the common clinical orientation that most people have and thats why i am making those mistakes. and what most people get wrong must be molecular pathology or something which i think i can figure out. disapproval

i would say that most people that take step 1 have very little clinical orientation as they are second year medical students with little to no clinical experience. maybe you're just missing key word recognition or something.

Weird feelings, Insecurity or Helplessness arent even the words that describe wht i go thru. I have had the same problem as u Bioguy. Now the most troubling part is that i have to come over a Mental Block which i have developed. I m coping with the fact that I have Completely Lost Touch with Micro and Immunity is way over my head. But When i Open teh books its like Damn how can i forget that cos i have read it added to it and Most of all Underlined it and the feeling that i had while solving the question is true i shud have listened to my gut feeling on that one. This makes me more preplexed cos on the next set of questions i listen to my gut feeling and get half of the questions wrong and i m like wht the heck is going on with me.

Is it me or r u guys going thru the Same Notions as i m ?>??

I agree with you nnl. We use only intellect or intellect superimposed over memory or sometimes gut feeling - and these combinations sometimes work, and sometimes don't. if only we could figure out in what circumstance they do and don't!!!!

  #16

dont worry nnl and bioguy...if you really "read it added to it and Most of all Underlined it" trust me it pops in your mind in the exam...I felt exactly that way and kept reading and reading the same thing which didnt help at all...bc I guess our stupid brains are tricky craps !!! like they refuse very refracterly to absorb more than there is inside and throw it somewhere back to torture our guts but in the exam...they pour it out somehow !!!!!!
no worries nnl and bioguy ! U R NO WEIRDOOS smiling face
