1/15/2023 0 Comments Kaplan vs usmle practice test![]() ![]() Many of their explanations are also very poor leaving the reader with many questions they would never have after reading a UWorld explanation. The questions are poorly written and many of them give multiple correct answer choices (or at least an answer choice that should not have been included for whatever teaching point they were trying to make). I have been finding an average of 2-4 issue per 40 question block in the Kaplan Qbank (they have responded and fixed only few of the errors I have pointed out). In the almost 5000 UWorld questions (between Step 1 and Step 2), I had only found one or two corrections that needed to be made (and they ended up responding me and fixing at least one of the questions). I have had to question and correct so many answers it has caused more confusion than clarification/education. My second Uworld practice test predicted a score of 272, and I think I have regressed at least a dozen points by using Kaplan. The more actual medicine you know the more frustrated you will become with the product. Fast forward to today, where I am a little over halfway through reviewing the answers to my first full-length practice test (a test that doesn't give you a score correlation after the 8 hrs you put in btw), and I have already found over half a dozen errors. ![]() After reading the debates online, I was left with the impression that there was a real competition between the two, so I decided to give Kaplan a try. I did it for a second time following my rotations, but I had some extra time left over and I was debating between UWorld again, or trying Kaplan. I only used Uworld for Step 1 (ended up with a 259), and I also used the Step 2 bank during my clinical rotations. In doing so, I came across the Kaplan vs Uworld Qbank debate multiple times. I, like many medical students, used the internet as a resource when trying to determine what study materials to use when studying for the Step exams. ![]()

Then a cascading series of events unfold, revealing a murderous outcome. The Yawner type of bad logline does exactly what you’d expect to do: it puts you on a morphine drip and lulls you into snoozeville.Ī young, dedicated door-to-door salesman is selling his wares and then happens upon a house where the occupant of the house is not as he seems. Maybe postpone that important business trip and get cozy with loved ones this week. If that’s your best logline, you may as well write instead:Īnd for all you Pisces, there’s change in the air. Like so:Ī door-to-door salesman, who may or may not have a penchant for murder, knocks on the door of someone else who may or may not have a penchant for murder. Then that writer of the logline, seeing you as a metaphorical cat, metaphorically cracks open a can of smelly, delicious metaphorical cat food, then throws the metaphorical can of cat food in the metaphorical trash, never allowing the cat to eat the smelly, delicious metaphorical cat food. Using a pet metaphor here, pun intended, a writer composing the Teaser type of bad logline imagines you, the reader of the bad logline, as a cat. The logline should probably mention the fact that they’re serial killers, instead of referring to the two characters as just “man” and “man.” After all, a movie about two serial killers, well that’s a lot different than a movie about just two boring regular men. Remember: the story we’re talking about here is about two serial killers going mano y mano. Yep, points for being succinct! But this logline tells the reader of the logline nothing about the story. When a man knocks on the door of another man, it’s a situation of do-or-die. For example, using our serial killer short we mentioned above: The Not-Nearly-Enough-Information type of bad logline is one where the writer opts for maximum brevity (yay!), at the expense of actual, you know, information about the story (booooo!). The first type of bad logline is what I like to call… The Not-Nearly-Enough Information Bad Logline And that salesman/serial killer happens to knock on the door of another serial killer. ![]() And it’s about a serial killer who’s a door-to-door salesman. Let’s say the story we’re writing a logline for is a short. To illustrate, let’s throw out a premise and write a few bad loglines for it. We’ll go a bit more into that later, but first let’s dive into what a logline shouldn’t be, and the way I see it, there are four bad logline types that fit that particular bill. In answering those questions, some of us screenwriter hacks prefer to toe that Wikipedia line above, in all its quotidian plainness, and that, frankly, is perfectly fine.īut for me, I want the logline to do one simple thing: give me a reason to read the screenplay. Yeah, yeah, but what’s the purpose of a logline? What’s a logline supposed to do? Wikipedia’s illustrious hive mind defines it like so:Ī brief (usually one-sentence) summary …that states the central conflict of the story, often providing both a synopsis of the story’s plot and an emotional “hook” to stimulate interest.

Lee is listed among the main cast - and is said to have a substantial role. Tirana (Abbey Lee) doesn’t appear until the seventh book, and her role is minor yet. Given that Jake plays a more central role in the movie, her appearance is likely intended to imbue Jake with a more sympathetic foundation on which to build. Jake’s mom, Laurie (Kathryn Winnick) appears in the movie, but doesn’t have much of a role in the books. On the opposite side of the coin, there are many Dark Tower characters that appear in the movie, that don’t feature heavily until later in the book series, if at all. Hearing Jake utter “ Go, then, there are other worlds than these” will be heartbreaking to watch on screen - so let’s hope it won’t happen.

1/12/2023 0 Comments Beck hyperspace review![]() ![]() Next is “See Through”, a Greg Kurstin-produced track that hits a very similar vibe. On its own, the song is fine, a slightly slower than mid-tempo track, and a nice change of pace from the poppier first few songs on the record. This one has synths all over it, plus acoustic guitar, and the barest hint of a beat that fades away in the spaced-out falsetto chorus. The warm vocals, easygoing hook, and beat and guitar combine for another catchy track, and at this point Hyperspace is four songs in, and three of them are really good.īut once the album hits track five, “Chemical”, it all starts to turn to mush. that meshes a Sleigh Bells-like big beat (but tamped down) with ’80s-pop synths, acoustic guitars, and Sky Ferreira on backing vocals. It’s catchy, and the vocal melody meshes really well with the synths while the song’s mood matches the lyrics about being stuck in a sort of life holding pattern where the same things happen every day and the days bleed into each other.įrom there, it’s on to “Saw Lightning” and then “Die Waiting”, a non-Pharrell song produced with Cole M.G.N. This track indeed has synths all over it, but it also has a solid hip-hop inspired beat and an energetic vocal take from Beck. But Hyperspace is sneaky because this intro piece immediately gives way to another pop gem, “Uneventful Days”. He slurs his voice into the synth tones and closing by repeating “With you / With yooooouuuuu” before it all fades away without a hint of percussion or any other instrument besides the synths. Waves of quiet, new age synths build up for 40 seconds before Beck starts singing “Faster, farther, longer, harder”. The 97-second-long album introduction song, “Hyperlife”, gives a better indication of what the bulk of this record is about. “Saw Lightning” is terrific and should take its place among the great Beck singles. Oh, and Pharrell makes his only vocal appearance on the album in this verse, slur-rapping his way through a few lines that are credited as “mumbles” in the liner notes. The second chunk of the song brings in a high-pitched staccato synth line that essentially adds melody to the drumbeat and serves as the song’s biggest earworm. The song runs through all of this in the first minute, throwing in harmonica, wobbly bass, and sustained electric guitar as it goes. ![]() Instead, it’s a weird pop banger, featuring swampy slide guitar, a skittering drumbeat, a falsetto “ooh ooh ooh” background hook, and apocalyptic lyrics presented in an affable tone. The first single “Saw Lightning” doesn’t betray any of this mood. Probably not what fans of either artist would expect, although Beck has a long history of defying expectations. Anyway, when these two veterans team up, the result is a mostly sleepy, spacey, synth-drenched album without much in the way of big pop hooks. ![]() Williams’ long track record of production and performance is hit and miss, but any attempt to list his credits would likely take up the bulk of this review. ![]() Once the lyrical sorrow and apocalyptic visions hit home, Hyperspace is revealed as a bleak, spacey R&B tour de force.Hyperspace, Beck’s 14th album, is largely a collaboration between Beck and Pharrell Williams. The gestation of the album coincided with the breakdown of Beck’s marriage of 15 years. Deep turmoil festers at the centre of these superficially dazed confections, featuring Auto-Tune, multi-tracking, bleached funk, raps and woah-woah-woahs. It glides along on lasers, coasts on thermals – until suddenly it doesn’t. Lit by the glow of vintage video games and a kind of hazy west coast liminality, Hyperspace sounds mushily contemporary, at least at first. Here, Saw Lightning is a genre-torching bop that harks all the way back to Beck’s Loser days, but it’s a red herring. Beck’s records can often veer away from the sound of their predecessors, but Hyperspace is no minimal DIY folk jam: it’s dewy, plush and on-trend.īeck’s eclecticism arguably paved the way for the bonfire of the genres in the present decade – even phenomena such as Old Town Road. Its sequel finds Beck retaining the marketplace nous of producer Greg Kurstin on one track and adding that of Pharrell Williams, purveyor of cheek-popping flair on more than half the album. Colors, Beck’s last album, won two Grammies. ![]() |
