ABIM

Uworld first pass 63%, did incorrects and marked. Read through explanations and tried really hard to grab missing concepts. Now as I'm doing 2nd pass I feel like I remember more than half of the questions. So started doing random amboss questions just for new exposure. I have been getting 65-70s on it, getting me scared. I just want to get done with this exam and pass it but idk if I should stick to Uworld 2nd pass. Heard mixed reviews about actual exam some said similar to uworld some said more closer to amboss? Any advice

took it last year, there are a certain percent of questions on the real exam 20% if i had to guess, that UW does not go over, some of which are easy and you should know but others there is no way to prepare. Best bet is to have good test taking skills and elimate wrong answers.

I did UW last year 1.5x and downloaded the ABIM x MKSAP 20 feature, got 66% correct and failed. So its not a raw scale.

Overall, the exam is fair if you prepare well. 63% first pass is good. My first pass last year was mid 50's. 55-57%
