CBSE

[Dogtreats]

I'm studying for the CBSE and I will be taking it for the first time in February. I'm not sure I'm fully utilizing my time wisely and I'm hoping to get some input. I'm currently in a residency program.

Right now, I'm trying to get through Boards and Beyond to learn some of the "basics". After I finish a section of B&B, I find the corresponding Pathoma chapter and videos and do that. I'm using Sketchy when I feel like I need a little more help with a topic. I've also been hitting some of the study decks on Anki, but just the topics I've already reviewed.

I know it's best to do questions but I also feel like when I do questions and I don't know the material, I'm obviously going to get things wrong and I get discouraged. Any tips or just keep trying to learn the basics and then focus on questions in January?

You should start questions now and learn/review topics as you get them wrong. Do the UWORLD blocks in tutored mode and don't get discouraged at the score. Even do it open book if you want as long as you are learning the topic.

My guy, the CBSE is the same material as step 1, tens of thousands of med students take it yearly, google has unlimited resources for you

I’m taking it in Feb too. Would be happy to connect. It can definitely be overwhelming with the volume of content. I’m just trying to get through all the topics in time for the exam 😅.
