![]() ![]() Frequently Asked Questions about the New NBME CBSSA Practice Exams: Often tutors spend time showing their students how the question may be slightly edited or reconstructed to reflect one of the other answers. Rather, successful and effective people will consider why each of the possible answer choices listed is right or wrong. Strong students studying for the USMLE don’t simply answer the question and move on. One of the key areas that our tutors spend time with their students is to show them how to most effectively review their NBME practice exam. Making use of these additional NBME CBSSA Forms (#25, #26, #27, #28, #29, and #30) could be a really important benefit for those students who know how to extract the most learning from these questions. Now that there will be several more new exams, a subset of students preparing to take USMLE Step 1 in the months of March-May will have the advantage of taking the old forms (before they are ‘retired’) and practicing with the new exams as well. In the past, some of the NBME forms were known to be particularly challenging, and often apprentices avoided taking it too close to test day in order to decrease the negative psychological impact of feeling one did ‘poorly’ on a practice exam right before the real thing.Īt Elite Medical Prep, we strongly recommend thoroughly reviewing the answers to these questions by using the enhanced feedback system available for nearly all these tests. Here at Elite Medical Prep, we strongly recommend that graduates complete at least 3 or 4 of the NBME CBSSA exams prior to taking their real USMLE Step 1.Īlthough the old NBMEs contain ‘retired’ questions, we have found through feedback from our many hundreds of learners, that these questions are often a very accurate representation of the types of questions they faced on their USMLE Step 1 test day.įurthermore, the scores on NBME exams are calibrated to match real scores on USMLE Step 1 (NBME and USMLE are essentially the same entity), meaning there is no better predictive tool available.Īs such, many students carefully consider the way that they use these exams.īecause setting up a detailed schedule is important for successfully covering all the testable material, scholars are often asking their tutors how should they schedule and spread out the NBME practice exams. This is a big deal for nearly every student preparing for Step 1. NBME CBSSA Form 25, Form 26, Form 27, Form 28, Form 29, and Form 30 will be released and the retirement of the old NBME forms will commence. The replacement forms are all being rolled out on March 24th, 2021. NBME 25- NBME 30: Which is the Best Predictor for Passing Step 1 ![]()

![]() ![]() March 2021 update: My universal test for whether a pair of shoes is truly supportive and comfortable is how they feel when I wear them to a music festival. I'm also almost certain that the Tree Skippers are more comfortable than the Tree Runners, which is an impressive feat. ![]() Like Mara said, slipping into the shoe felt soft and familiar since it has the same wool-lined insole and heel cup of Allbirds' other offerings. The Stone's neutral, sandy color (color no longer available) reminded me of the beach and can really match with any color you wear on top. Eucalyptus is known for its cooling properties, so I appreciate that the Tree Skippers offer the ideal casual summer look while also keeping my feet cool in warm weather. I never would have guessed that the textile was made from eucalyptus pulp, but it provides an interesting, eye-catching texture that's more unique than that of a traditional boat shoe. Itching for the feel of summer, I opted to review the Allbirds Tree Skippers, which are a modern twist on the classic boat shoe.Īgain, Allbirds' surprising materials have proven to be successful. March 2018 review: I wear my Allbirds Wool Runners regularly and am always more than happy to talk about how wonderful and comfortable they are to anyone who's curious, so I was excited to learn about this newer style from one of my favorite brands. The navy has held up well over time and shows negligible signs of wear after semi-frequent use.Ĭonnie Chen, Insider Reviews senior reporter: They're comfortable, noticeably cooling, and perfect for all-day wear. March 2021 update: Three years after testing them, these are still both my go-to travel shoes and my favorite pair of Allbirds. ![]() They feel ridiculously good on, and any conscious consumer can feel great about buying them. While I wouldn't buy Allbirds if they weren't consistently making the most comfortable shoes I own, I also love that they're using sustainable materials (and encouraging innovation). The sole feels familiar (it's the same structured, wool-lined insole found in my Loungers) and supportive, but the upper is even more breathable than my other pairs. The stylistic contrast of the thick laces is a really nice touch, and the semi-muted color means they go with basically anything. They're crazy comfortable, the silhouette is flattering and close-fitting, and I love the smooth but texturized upper. I reviewed the Allbirds Tree Runners in Navy Night, which is actually a nice dark green-blue in person (less bright than a true teal), and - once again - Allbirds has exceeded my expectations. It sounds like an exaggeration, but they're really that comfortable. I don't feel bad dropping money on a new pair of shoes from them because I know I will wear them until they're borderline disintegrating - and I will be glad every time I put them on. In other words, they've earned my trust as a valuable buy. March 2018 review: Allbirds is one of my favorite companies to shop from because they have always exceeded expectations on comfort, quality, and style. Mara Leighton, Insider Reviews senior reporter: The brand further devloped this commitment in early 2018 by introducing an an even more sustainable set of shoes made from trees - or more specifically, from a textile engineered using eucalyptus pulp.Īllbirds Tree Runners in a discontinued Kauri Navy color But for some, the biggest draw is the fact that the company maintains a deep, unshakable commitment to sustainability. They're also relatively affordable (from $95-$154 a pair) and easy to clean with a simple spin in the washing machine. There are a lot of reasons people like these shoes beyond just how comfortable they are. And we're not alone - an Insider survey showed that Allbirds was one of our readers' favorite brands they discovered through reading our reviews. We've tested Allbirds before, and our team unanimously feels that they're pretty much the most comfortable shoes out there (as seen in our reviews of the Wool Loungers, Wool Runners, and Runner-Up Mizzles). There's plenty of hype about their universal practicality and comfort, so with the addition of the Allbirds Tree collection, we decided to review the Allbirds Tree Runners and Tree Skippers. Learn more.Īllbirds' minimalist sneakers have become a go-to shoe for many, especially those who commute in places like Silicon Valley and Wall Street.

Artifacts (special, unique items with abilities different from their base type) are rare and you might find or use something like 1-4 of them in a typical NetHack game. Item identification (and modification) is much more important in NetHack. ![]() In NetHack there are minor differences related to your god's alignment which you would probably not need to think about in a typical game there are always exactly 3 gods, of 3 distinct alignments, in a NetHack game. Religion is dramatically more important (and complicated!) in Crawl, and different gods significantly change your play style. In NetHack you even need comparatively rare items to learn with certainty what resistances you have at a particular moment in Crawl you can pull this up on a convenient screen at any moment. In Crawl, the online help system will, in recent versions, even reveal your current exact hit probability against a particular enemy and the enemy's hit probability against you, as well as what kinds of attacks and resistances each of you has (and you can also learn more about why, if you want). ![]() In NetHack, the game almost never reveals any quantitative or concretely practical information about the purpose or effect of something, and even things like weapon hit percentages and relative efficacy traditionally are considered spoilers. ![]() The two games famously differ in their approach to spoilers. In Crawl, it is probably already long obsolete and likely refers to monsters, items, or dungeon branches that no longer even exist in the modern game. In NetHack, obscure game knowledge that you acquired twenty years ago is still extremely valuable. In NetHack, unidentified scrolls are somewhat more dangerous than unidentified potions in Crawl, unidentified potions are uniformly more dangerous than unidentified scrolls. Both games have conduct challenges of various kinds to make the game even harder.

Tuning: A full tuning includes everything needed to get a piano in tune and working, which may include a "pitch raise" and/or minor repairs, such as fixing sticky keys, misaligned hammers, and annoying buzzes. For distances beyond that I may charge around a dollar per extra mile. *Note: The first 40 miles (round trip) are included in the cost of a standard visit. $20 discount for college students or senior citizens.Ĭustomers paying by card should expect an additional fee of $5 or 3% of the transaction amount. $50 per-additional-piano discount for households or businesses with multiple pianos, or $20 per piano for neighborhood friends coordinating back-to-back tunings on the same day. $20 discount for return customers tuning their pianos at least once a year.

For an emailed report with pictures (typically for inspections in which you are not present) please add $30. I do a thorough inspection of the piano inside and out and make notes of any problems. (This is also the cost for a half hour non-tuning (repair/regulation) visit.) People often schedule this service just before buying a used piano. EvaluationĪ service call to evaluate or inspect a piano (without tuning) costs $100. If the hammer is missing completely it may be more. Replacing a broken hammer shank (the stick that holds the hammer) usually costs about $30. This includes planing down the key tops to account for the extra thickness of the acrylic over the original ivory, “notching” and finishing the sides, and leveling the keys. ![]() (Replacements are “recycled” ivory salvaged from old pianos.) Replacing a complete set of ivory with acrylic or plastic costs $550. Replacing missing ivory key tops costs about $10 per ivory wafer, if done in conjunction with a normal tuning appointment. (The cost for ordering a single replacement custom wound bass string is $55 including shipping.) Missing ivories For broken copper-wound bass strings, please ask for a quote, as I may be able to repair the broken string instead of replacing it. ![]() Replacing a broken string costs $30 for one string, or $20 each for multiple strings. The cost of a standard visit varies based on location* but is $210 for customers within a reasonable distance of Renton, WA.

![]() United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004), adopted on 28 April 2004, decided that all States are to take and enforce effective measures to establish domestic controls to prevent the proliferation of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and their means of delivery, including by establishing appropriate controls over related materials, equipment and technology. This Regulation also aims to strengthen the guidance to be given to exporters, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), regarding responsible practices, yet without impairing the global competitiveness of exporters of dual-use items or other associated industry or academia which are resident or established in a Member State. With regard to cyber-surveillance items, the competent authorities of the Member States should consider in particular the risk of them being used in connection with internal repression or the commission of serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. Through this Regulation, the Union demonstrates its commitment to maintaining robust legal requirements with regard to dual-use items, as well as to strengthening the exchange of relevant information and greater transparency. Relevant considerations include international obligations and commitments, obligations under relevant sanctions, considerations of national foreign and security policy including those contained in the Council Common Position 2008/944/CFSP ( 3), among them human rights, and considerations about intended end-use and the risk of diversion. This Regulation aims to ensure that in the area of dual-use items, the Union and its Member States fully take into account all relevant considerations. Since further amendments are to be made, that Regulation should be recast in the interests of clarity, effectiveness and efficiency. Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,Īfter transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,Īcting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure ( 1),Ĭouncil Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 ( 2) has been substantially amended several times.
