When do you start preparing for the test? Get the answer here.
Writing is hard. I’ve always known, but it is especially true when it doesn’t go as planned. This week will be stressfull, more mentally than actual stress. To go to University in Germany with nothing but my US diplomas I have to exam out of German and IPA , so now I am extremely scared. Therefore my writing has been pretty stunted, only getting a couple of paragraphs done before my mind drifts off and I can’t seem to concentrate. It frustrates me immensly to be blocked by my own mind, as if there is a mean little alien sitting in the corner of my consciouness and keeps pressing the emergency button so that the entire building has to evacuate.
So I am pretty frustrated, nervous, anxious, and a completely introverted mess.
Oh joy!
USMLE Test Taking Strategy
Here is some solid advice that I have compiled from multiple sources of what I think (collectively) is the best approach to this beast of an exam.
Strategy: 1. Read the last sentence first to know “what is the question really asking” - this will help with active reading while approaching the question stem.
2. Read the question carefully - spend most of you time reading the question, good test takers will spend 2/3 of the time reading the questions and formulating an answer in their head, and the last seconds selecting the best option.
3. After reading the question, try formulate an answer in your head WITHOUT looking at the answers choices.
4. If you know the answer check to see if it is one of the answer choices. If not pick the next best choice. Even if your answer is there, check to make sure a BETTER answer choice does exist in the options provided.
5. If you cannot come up with an answer choice, try to narrow the choices listed to the two best options. This will increases your chances to 50/50 of getting the question right - rather than flat out guessing which depending on the number of choices in that question can be slim odds.
6. If you still don’t know, then guess and MOVE ON. Good test takers will admit when they dont know the answer and will not get bogged down and waste time on question they know that they do not know - they will guess and move on.
7. Start each question by leaving the previous one in the past, don’t carry the worry and stress of whether you got each question right to your next question. Lets face it, you will not know everything, and you will feel stupid. This is normal. Remember, getting about 65-70% of questions right puts you above average.
8. Note when your strongest times of the day are, and your weakest points. Take note to when you perform best on practice question blocks (are they at the start, middle, or end of the test?) and try to compensate for the weak area by spending more time reviewing during those times, or take an energy drink with you.

These teachers send a sweet message to students about standardized tests
by Laurie Gelman posted in Mom Stories My daughter just finished a week of 5th grade standardized testing. Phew! She is exhausted. I don't want to get into a debate on whether there should even be standardized testing. I get why they exist but let's just say I'm not a fan. I feel way too...
