You will either get an average of your scores( mine was an average) or most probably a score closer to your best on assessments, because I know people who got the same score as their UWSA. After the exam I thought I failed, but my score wasn't too bad. I had studied only UWORLD, did it twice and read the entire explanation to all questions. edited by on This is exactly how I felt too, the exam was very confusing! I agree, so far it was the most difficult one. My self assessment tests in order: NBME 8: 232 (30 days before the exam) UWSA 2: 242 (20 days before the exam) NBME 7: 245 (10 days before the exam) UWSA 1: 261 (2 days before the exam) Anyone took the test and felt the same? Wish you all the best. I studied Medicine and Obgyn from OME -I did all uworld questions and i red the explanations carefully. I am not quite sure about my performance in the real exam. There were 5 easy questions I answered wrongly! I got about 10-15 questions in biostat I was aiming for 260+. There are 2 blocks where i missed 3-4 questions and answered them blindly.
I marked at least 15 questions per block. The questions were so long, weird and confusing. The wait is brutal I know, wish you all the best! What material did you use? Do you have any suggestions after your experience? What do you think about Doctors in training? Good luck, I wish you the best!! Alejandro edited by on You had good scores on your practice tests, I am very surprised you found it hard. It is frequently useful in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.Hi guys. Triiodothyronine, or T3, level ( choice E) is rarely tested independently but may be part of a thyroid function panel. TSH receptor antibodies ( choice D) are associated with Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism). It is elevated in more than 90 percent of patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), which is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in areas of the world with sufficient iodine.
The thyroid peroxidase antibody test ( choice B) may be performed to determine the cause of primary hypothyroidism.

If the TSH is elevated but free T4 is normal, this indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. If both the TSH and free T4 are low, this indicates central hypothyroidism (caused by either hypothalamic or pituitary disease).įree thyroxine, or T4, level ( choice A) is decreased in hypothyroidism. Primary hypothyroidism is diagnosed by an elevated TSH and low free T4. If the serum TSH is elevated, the TSH should be repeated along with a serum free thyroxine (T4) level. The most appropriate next step in diagnosis is to measure the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level. This patient has many symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism: depression, cold intolerance, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, menorrhagia, slow speech, bradycardia, diastolic hypertension, and delayed relaxation of deep tendon reflexes.
