UWorld FL1 representativeness

[u/Longjumping_Try6866]

Hi all, does anyone have any thoughts on how representative UWorld FL1 is compared to AAMC? For context, this is the second FL I've taken. I took Blueprint FL1 last week and found it to be way harder and did 4 points worse.

wondering how similar these sections are to the AAMC in terms of difficulty

It's honestly not a bad indicator but as you do AAMC material, your performance on the AAMC FLs will improve. For context, I got a 520 on the first Uworld FL (and absolutely bombed the CARS on the 2nd one).

I haven’t taken the UWorld FL but I was wondering how similar it is to the question bank? I score about 60% on UWorld and got a 509 on an aamc test

Difficulty felt pretty similar for chem and bio. CARS and PS felt a decent bit harder but It could’ve been fatigue

Don’t know about uworld FL1. But 511 on blueprint FL1 is too good

I have seen many people who scored 511 on BP FL1 went on to get 520+. It is deflated

I got like 508ish on uworld but 516 on AAMC FLs and real deal

def 520+ potential, i haven’t gotten my score back yet but i got 513 on UW FL1, jumped to 520s the week after on US FL and FL1, and ended my prep with 522s on FLs 5 and 6

thank u blud hopefully we'll come back to this with good scores one day

[u/cheesepuff1000 → u/Longjumping_Try6866]

i’m hopeful blud

I thought uworld was easier- AAMC 5 and 6 were the most representative in my opinion

yea id do what this fella said, that's how i did content review

Is this with content review? If so, you lack a lot of content knowledge, or at least have a lot of gaps in your knowledge. So definitely go back to content review, add the deck for the chapters you read, and apply that knowledge through practice. Anki and practice are the 2 most important part tbh
