UW step 1 Qbank 重新做第二遍的办法
UW 做完了一遍，想做第二遍，又不想同样的题目重复做，该怎么办呢？
网上看大家讨论过，一个个试验过了，最后找到一个相对可行的办法。
首先，最简单的是找ＵＷ的customer service, 但是ＵＷ规定必须要subscribe UW qbank超过６个月才提供reset的服务。我只买了３个月，所以得到的答复是要再买３个月才给reset.
好，最简单的办法用不了了。只好想其他的办法。
最先想到的是create ４６ blocks, 把每个block都suspend不做。但是既然所有的题目都做过了，ＵＷ里面的选项就只能用ＡＬＬ才能选到题，选unused的话已经没有题了。 试了suspend 50 blocks,发现这样的选题还是会有很多重复的。
此路不通，只好再想其他办法。 这回瞄上了里面的custom 选项。 ＵＷ step 1总共有２０７７道题，想着每次输进补同的题号，比如第一次就１－４６，第二次就４７－９２，如此类推，这样每次也可以做不同的题目。 可是ＵＷ的这个选项不知怎么回事，输入题目ＩＤ，就是不行。 就算是找到做过的题目那里找到的题目ＩＤ输进去也不行。总是出错，我也没时间跟他纠缠了。
只好再看其他方法，曾想过每道题mark一下，这样就可以从marked的选项里选题，但是２０７７道题，每道题mark一下，做完了再unmark一下。想想这个工作量就打寒战。
想啊想，最后想到第一次做完题库后，还做了一下incorrect questions. 如果我想办法把所有的题目都弄到incorrect那里去，这样从incorrect选题，做对了的就自然排除出去了，做错了的再做还是很必要的。
于是从ＡＬＬ的选项create了一个block, 然后试验一道题也不做，就马上end the block, 果然所有４６道题都incorrect questions去了。 但是选ＡＬＬ弄题的话，越到后面每４６道题利前面都出现过的几率越高，到后来１０００多道题后，每４６题的一个block出现没有重复的题就只有２－３道了。这样弄了１００多个blocks,可是incorrect题目才只有１７００多道，而且越到后面余越难了。必须要想个办法不选到重复的题目。
还是要充分利用里面的main division和subdivisions.
呵呵，其实前面都是走了弯路。要人为的选到不重复的题，只有每次选一个main division, 比如只选anatomy, biochemistry, 等。 选一个division, 然后看每一个subdivision有多少题， 算好所选的subdivisions加起来的题不超过４６题就好了。下次选题的时候不要选前面选过的subdivisions.
如果就这样选题做，也是可以的。好处是不用做什么处理，就是要记住自己做过那些题，下次不要选。这样做题的话只能按科目做，除了病理和药理有些subdivisions有超过４６道题会有重复的，其他的科目按subdivison一选都没有重复了。
我还是按科目，亚科目选了题目后，不做，直接end block. 这样所有的题都到incorrect选项了。病理和药理有些subdivisions有超过４６道题的，就多按了几个blocks。 一科一科选下去，弄了大概７５个blocks，这样基本所有的题都到incorrect项去了。 说基本是只有２０７６道题，还有一道题不知道那里计算错误弄丢了。我也没精力再管了，就少了一道题，就算了，呵呵。 已经搞了半天，前后折腾了２００＋个blocks了。其实是前面走了弯路，如果一开始按科目选弄的话，最多７５个blocks应该就可以了。 好了，这个就是觉得比较可行的UW QBANK reset的办法。
现在做题question mode就是按incorrect 选的。 效果很不错，做对的自动清出去了，做错的还可以继续做。 就是前面要自己折腾一下，后面还是比较省心。这样做题可以混着做，想分科做也是可以的。 不足的是把ＵＷ里面的关于performance的东东都弄没了，后面基本cumulative performance就没法看了。我现在就只看每次的正确率，其他的就没用了。 至于各科的评估，好像每科都差不多，对我用处不大。
这是ＵＷ选题的界面。

2010-10-02 01:50
９月中终于把书都看了一遍。虽然解剖和生理是很早以前看的（真的是很早之前哦，都有２，３ 年了），但是看完ＲＲＰ后已经看不下书了。先做了一些ＫＡＰＬＡＮ ＱＢＡＮＫ的free sample questions (在iTouch上下载的），非常受打击。
之后就想着做一ＮＢＭＥ ＦＯＲＭ看看自己看书的成效，做的是Form 1的下载版，结果正确率居然也快要到
７０％了。虽然有些题看了完全不知道是什么东西，但是大部分貌似比较简单。呵呵，做form 1看来是最能鼓舞信心的，因为最简单。 
据说form 6, 7都比较难，但是最接近真实的考试。 做倒是很快，做完了找解释，答案才费神，有些网上的所谓‘正确’答案还是错的。麻烦，以后还是花钱做网上的，据说extended version的会告诉你那些题做对了，这样就不用那么费神去猜测那个才是正确答案了。
开始做Ｋａｐｌａｎ Qbank了，做了几个ＢＬＯＣＫ， 成绩很稳定，但是都才５０％正确率。 
最邪门的是每个ＢＬＯＣＫ都会碰到 ＡＤＰＫＤ。
最邪门的是每个ＢＬＯＣＫ都会碰到 ＡＤＰＫＤ。不过也还好了，做题的时候知道自己还是进步了的。一边做题一边对着ＦＡ看，做完应该可以看完一遍ＦＡ 了。然后再做ＵＷ Qbank，中间穿插做几套NBME forms.希望明年２－３月能去考了。

There was a bill for residency cap removal/position increase (about 3500 a
year). But the bill never came out from the committee simply because US
government has no money for this now.
Currently the total number of first-year residency spots is about 24,000.
The number registered for the 2010 Match was 37,556.

Yes, this gradually increased from 2002, and the number of AMG will be
sufficient to fill all residency position
by year of 2016 ior 2017.
So ECFMG will close.
possibly, just some AMGs will find residency position in future.

Thank you for the information regarding this sharp increase of AMG this year
. It is absolutely shocking to me.I have not realized this toughness of
situation in 2011 match.
What is the cause of this significant shooting up of AMG?
What can we do in this situation? Because there will be only roughly 4000
total positions for all FMG in all specialties.

The official stand of AAMC is to produce enough physicians by US medical
schools. US medical schools and DO schools gradually increase enrollment,
and some new schools were opened or planned to open.
For CMGs:
1) Act fast - don't wait several years to complete USMLE exams;
2) Set a realistic goal - aiming for some good specialties but also have a
backup plan. IM is still the best bid for many;
3) Well prepared - try to improve your credential and build up connections;
4) Apply broadly and go to as many interviews as you can.

They have their own match programs but the number of positions is not enough
