Not anymore, in the past it was mostly WWJD now its based on the law.

In my test there were a couple that with WWJD you could answer it, but all the other that with WWJD you got the wrong answer.

and I got very small xxx" with the asterick in high performencegrin

Yup , agree with GOGETA. Questions answered by listening to your heart are usually wrong even in the practice test . You have to use your head.

I am not in a position to advise any do's and don'ts . Hope to hear from someone experienced.

yeah, what's WWJD?

and using your heart in the mles will usually lead to a broken heart when you recieve your score. raised eyebrowconfusedsticking out tongue always use your head, and the simplified rules given in kln in answering beh. sc. qns.

So if I understand this correctly, it is no longer WWJD, but rather, WWJLD = What Would Jesus' LAWYERS Do? grin

man, i just took the NBME 2. On NBME 1, I did okay in behavioral.. i didn't expect to do that great because I hadn't studied the subject yet - an average performance was expected. On NBME 3, I did a little better in behavioral - I was happy to beat the average. Today, on NBME 2, I did WAY LOWER than average on the behavioral section - BUT I spent a good amount of time studying the kaplan notes and listening to the lectures.

I do not understand why my performance would decline. I think it may have been because I tried answering with my heart instead of my head..

Did anyone have a similar experience?

any advice?

Listen to Kaplan lectures!You wont have to study again. Specially dont study the Epidemiolgy & Statistics without lectures.It will save a lot of ur time trust me!

  #10

you're right about that. but i feel strong in epi/stats.. behavioral is such a broad subject that it's hard to tell where you are deficient. i guess that's why everyone says that problems are key.
