After my first uworld pass, I realized that I have poor test taking skills. It’s not a knowledge gap but rather I either misread important details, miss the overall differential diagnosis or get stuck in between answer choices.
I always read the last sentence in the question first and then go back and try to identify key details (abnormalities, CC, age). Then I will compare them to each answer option and try to pick the question choice that best suits the key details and questions. I will omit any that have contraindications.
But I always somehow get stuck in between two or overthink things or doubt myself so I end up getting things wrong or improperly reasoning. This also tends to happen when I have uworld questions that are very long.
My reasoning simply may suck or I don’t trust my judgement or I get overwhelmed. Was hoping to have a better understanding of what other people do in regards to approaching questions.
I know if I can truly improve my test taking skills, my score can go up ten folds.
