If something has helped in the past, then repeating it ad infinitum will increase your score indefinitely. This is one of the most common misconceptions I see among students preparing for Step 1. If a little of something is good, then more must be better, right? Therefore, doing it more than once will somehow boost your score even further. Why does everyone tell you to repeat UWorld? It’s simple: UWorld is a fantastic resource (it really is). This is perhaps the most common advice I heard as a medical student.
If you can brave forums without getting palpitations, share it in the comments and I will update this article. However, med student forums still give me pangs of anxiety, with all of their distress and breathless dogma.
NOTE: I considered sifting through any of the number of anonymous USMLE forums to find examples of this advice. It also comes from well as having tutored students for the USMLE Step and Shelf exams. The “common knowledge” surrounding UWorld is an opinion. This is also my opinion from preparing for Step 1/Step 2 CK. Here I deconstruct several of the most common beliefs surrounding the UWorld Question Bank. Claim #6: Do UWorld Just Before Taking Step 1/Step 2 CK/Step 3.Claim #5: Use UWorld in Your USMLE Preparations.UWorld Repeaters Often Believe USMLEs = Tests of Knowledge, Not Application.Claim #4: “My Test Was NOTHING Like UWorld”.Claim #3: UWorld is the Most Similar to the Real Exam.A 250+ Comes From Applying Pathophysiologic Principles to Questions You’ve Never Seen Before.Claim #2: Begin UWorld at Least a Year Before Your Exam.
