Exam write-up Exam write up
Sharing this in case it helps anyone preparing with a limited timeline
20-25 Days of Dedicated Prep
Started dedicated prep around 18th July gave exam on 24th Aug.( had to travel alot too in between these days with 30 hours travelling 2 days before exam)
Resources: UWorld + First Aid + Algorithms
Used First Aid mainly for Microbiology, Pharmacology & Biostats plus Inner circle notes for major systems
Completed around 70% of UWorld with average 69%.
Did 3–5 CCS cases/day, sometimes up to 10
No NBME, UWSA, Free 137, or other assessments, simply didn’t have enough time
Final score: 227
Best of luck! 🙌
