🎯 One of the Most Important Lessons: Master the Art of Guessing

🐢 Apart from Not Rushing to the Exam...

• One of the best pieces of advice I received:

  USMLE exams are not just about knowledge, they’re about how well you can guess.

🧠 It’s Not Just About Facts

• Stop only chasing factoids.
• Learn how to make good educated guesses.
• Focus on the big picture, not trivial details.

🔁 What Helped Me

• I did tons of questions.
• I made so many guesses, I got better at:
  • Narrowing options down.
  • just being logical and not extreme and pick answers they loved in nbmes and cms forms.
  • cuz in 2ck multiple answers can be correct but it is what is done first so try to have a logic of ur own based on ur xp doing qs like pick least invasive, etc.

⚠️ Reality Check

• Even in NBMEs, you’ll find ~40 questions that feel like random, obscure stuff.

• The real exam is the same.

• And guess what? You won’t know it all so:

  Your guessing game must be strong.
