USMLE World Blues

Having completed over 50% of USMLE World, I'm constantly fighting an overwhelming desire to destroy my computer. It's not that I don't like my computer. In fact, I quite like it. But the questions on UW are just driving me crazy. It's not like I'm that dumb. I'm not. Well, I, at least I think I'm not. And my mom says I'm not as well, so there. So far, I've resisted the urge, but my poor, poor mouse. That little left mouse button just couldn't hold out any longer, and alas, succumbed to the repeated stress of my index finger. It's final resting place, in a plastic bag surrounded by leftover pizza scraps, a banana peel and 3 empty wrappers of mini-toblerone. That mouse deserved better.

Hmmmm

So I did my first block of UW. I did ok. 67%. Made some dumb mistakes that could have easily taken me over 70%. So, I'm thinking, I can beat this thing no problem. Right? Wrong. Next block...50%. Yikes. I'm beginning to regret not actually reading my books before starting the questions.

USMLE World Begins

Well I finally got around to buying the online question bank at USMLE World. The interface is slick, just like the one FRED put out. It's very unlike the crappy Kaplan one that I used in Step 1, which, while functioning like like FRED, looked nothing like it. Haven't done any questions yet, but I hear I'm in for a real treat.
