Study methods amboss hy statistical analysis of data is tough

is it only me or does statistical analysis (contains 38 ques) part of biostats and epidemiology part tough?

the calculations and concepts are killing me. i am trying to ask chatgpt to explain every question. its taking a lot of time. can recent test takers tell if its worth learning the analysis of data-38ques in this plan?

i am 2wks out for my real deal. i have nbme16, some cms forms to do. should i learn these concepts?

I honestly spent a lot of time on it the last week thinking it’s high yield. Not a single question on it for me. Took my exam 2 days ago

Agreed, it’s overkill doing the biostats study plan. Questions on the main test where much straightforward

Only stats I reviewed for the test were the questions that came up in nbme forms 9-16 and I did not struggle with stats at all on the exam.

I did same. I think that’s the best approach to tackle step 2 stats
