"behavioral science"

[TexasTriathlete]

Is there a good way to learn this bull****? I'm talking specifically about the stats stuff. Any good sources of practice questions?

The funny thing is... I've done a pretty good amount of clinical research, and this is pretty recent. In fact, I'm still involved in the project, albeit, on a much more limited basis, for obvious reasons. I can read a paper and understand the general idea of what the statistics mean, but I guess my grasp is not that strong after all, because these questions bend me over and defile me on usmle world.

Is high yield the answer? I have heard good things, but there's something about missing questions that can hammer a point home in a way that just reading about it cannot.

Then again, I miss tons of these questions, and don't seem to be getting much better.

UWorld has like ~40 of them on Biostats alone.

Just nail it in from first aid memorize what you do when, the high yield stuff is the most important for biostats, then do a bunch of questions to make sure you know what formulas to use when and how to do them.

Bull****? Biostats is the only thing requiring intellect on step 1.

HY Behavioral. It covers enough Biostats in it + FA.

BRS was decent, along with the Kaplan videos.

Behavioural is big on the step these days.
