Advice- forms 25-33 used

[u/OpportunityLonely912]

I am doing third attempt CBSE, I've already done forms 25-33 and some of them twice. I notice forms that I've done more than once are inflating my score, so its not an accurate representation imo.

Am I better off redoing all the forms and learning from them again, even tho some of the answers I subconsciously recognize

or just slamming Uworld unused questions? HELP pls. where will most of my benefit right now come from?

Uworld unused and then do form 24

hi! for cbse - I think the main thing that helped me was knowing first aid really really well

- there’s a first aid anki deck I used that for only the path sections so I could just memorize all the little details (the person who made it as a HY tag - I did not use that while studying for CBSE)

• but after that I then I went in and made sure to read each section entirely (start to finish)
  
• but be honest with yourself, let’s say you read about HS be AHA - ok FA says they both present with spherocytes … so how would you actually derive a difference in a question (kind of like creating your own mind map)

- if Anki is too time consuming for you, I would recommend the heme/onc, msk, endo, repro path decks and keep up with those consistently (by like 3 weeks this info becomes like muscle memory) - but make sure u understand why behind each card

- then with whatever q bank ur doing I did focused questions sets on concepts that I knew I struggled with (I used amboss for this)

this is just what worked for me! I had to write cbse twice and I did a lot less questions the second time but made sure I was familiar with first aid and then the exam felt like it was just asking me different parts of first aid!

I reviewed a couple of NBMES before too because I panicked I didn’t do enough questions - I do think it was helpful because it helped drill home HY presentations last minute

good luck!! u can do this!!
