Hey everyone, I just need some advice.
I am currently scheduled to take my level 2 on July 20 and then I start Sub I's. I can delay the exam, but then it would be during Sub I's and currently I don't see any dates open in Aug.
I was a below average student during third year, and I studied just enough to get a pass on COMATs (89-95 range). I started dedicated 4 weeks ago. So far, I used UWorld tutored mode to work on each system (40 questions, one system a day, spend 2 days on each system/topic) and also did TL 40 questions mixed. My average on UWorld has been 50% and on TL it is around 65%. I have been doing about 1 hour of anki a day. I try to do uworld incorrect deck but it has been building up and hard to get through them all. I took 2 COMSAES:
June 16 COMSAE 113 - 395
July 1 COMSAE 114 -424
I was shooting for a 500 at least since I am not taking step but at this point I think I just want to pass. I am planning on applying IM (not interested in fellowship and ok with community programs). I think I'm at a point where I am burnt out and honestly some days just not in the right headspace/mental health because of this exam. I have been going to therapy. I noticed OMM was one of my lowest sections for both COMSAEs so I plan to review more of that going forward, but just looking for some advice. I have 115 left to take which I plan to take about a week before the exam. Just wondering if its possible or should I really consider pushing this exam? Also, anything to help with burn out or mental health during this time? (other then therapy which I am already going to).

Hi everyone, I have been in dedicated for about two weeks. I took TL assessment 1 at the very beginning of dedicated and got 47%. Today, I took COMSAE 113 and got 400.
During these last two weeks, I focused on systems that I struggled with based on the TL assessment. I reviewed those systems by reading Step 2 FA a bit and jumping into UWorld questions targeted at those systems + one mixed block. I did about 40-60 questions a day and reviewed them. I also did Anki for the UW incorrect. I have done about 30% of UWorld with avg 48%. I haven’t done any TL questions besides the assessment. I haven’t reviewed much OMM or biostats. I’m realizing content is a pretty big issue for me. I passed all my COMATs by getting low 90’s. During that time, I did TL COMAT qbanks and comquest. I just don’t know what the best way to review content is. I’m testing in about 5 weeks and I do not plan to take step 2. I am hoping for at least a 550+ on Level 2. I’m wondering if I should get a tutor. Any suggestions on how to improve? I plan to review this COMSAE and see why I missed questions and also look at patterns/certain systems I missed more of. But I’m just honestly lost. My school doesn’t really help much.
Anyone have any suggestions or things that worked for them? Any tutor or even course suggestions? TIA

Hi all,
I just started my fourth year and take boards at the end of this month. I will have some time free before starting sub I’s as I didn’t get one for July. I’m a DO student planning to apply neuro this fall. I have some research, but none in neuro as I decided pretty late, like midway through M3. There’s this research project I can be a part of, probably not enough to get a publication out before September but seems cool. It’s about AI in neurology. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it to be a part of it, or I should just focus on eras and Sub-I’s.
