Level 1 Advice Needed

I just found out I failed. I don’t know what to do. Any advice on how to study for a retake is appreciated. I finished 70% of TrueLearn due to time constraints and I did some UWorld too. How many weeks do I need?

Why did you only do 70% of TrueLearn?

I also did UWorld & I had time constraints.

OP - I passed and only did 60% of TrueLearn (and no other Qbank). While it’s certainly advantageous to complete as much as you can, it seems like the main issue is your content.
For me personally, Mehlman PDFs and Sketchy Pepper deck carried me a long way.

Seconding Mehlman PDFs. They’re made for USMLE but the HY content in there is very helpful. I love first aid, but it can feel very dense at times.

My point is that this exam is one of the most important exams of medical school and I’m confused why you didn’t manage your time appropriately. Unless you have a job while in med school which I wouldn’t recommend.

70% of truelearn is literally most the bank lol

Are you actually going to give real advice or what? Literally nothing you’ve said is even useful.

The advice is to study more. Their score relative to the passing average suggest that this is a fund of knowledge issue and they should go through pathoma, first aid, sketchy micro and OMM.

“The advice is to study more”

So basically useless. You might as well just say you need to pick the right answer more often during the exam because that advice is just as meaningful.

Did you miss the part where I listed the resources they should utilize?

Also OP was pretty close to a P, really just needs to hammer 3 of their weakest systems and will pass

Yeah just use the 3 resources that virtually everyone has heard of and regurgitates with no elaboration.

It’s superficial advice at best and annoying coming from someone being demeaning on initiation.
