This was a video that was really needed for USMLE prep. Great work !

4 blocks in a single day? You’re a beast bro

Man, your videos are crucial for anyone prepping for the steps or any other exam. Because of your videos, I have been able to get rid of routines and habits that would normally slow down my prep and cause burnout. First was the unnecessary note taking, which I realized was not helpful for me at all. Recently I think I have come to understand what you meant by the exam being a different beast, for instance I have been watching lectures hoping to build stronger foundations but I have come to realize that uworld questions are totally different beast. Its like studying every detail about the basics of flying a plane only to get questions about a pilot who had to overcome a stormy weather and almost crashed and how he managed to escape the storm. This is not the best analogy, but because of this I prefer to just do questions first or along with lectures. Normally I would want to finish all of the lectures before attempting the qbank equivalent of that subject. Now I realize I don't even have to watch all the lectures, just areas which I'm having difficulty with, sometimes I still feel guilty and think I am missing out on much information. Thanks for making these videos.

Great video 👏🏻 I have a few things to add that may help someone 1. Prioritize your mental and physical health over everything else. If you are not ok, you won’t be able to give your 100% and you will waste your time. A few weeks ago I started to feel back pain but I pushed myself and it got to the point that I couldn’t focus because it hurt a lot so I had to take an entire week off to recover from it. If I had not stopped, it could’ve been more than a week and that would’ve affected my study plan. 2. If possible, leave room for things that are not part of your plan. My week off for example was not expected but I had time left on my schedule to reorganize everything I had to do that week.

I hope I can pass USMLE I Don't haves a job,I am 36 years old all my dreams related to USMLE,if I can choose between my life and USMLE I would choose USMLE

Hell yeahhh was waiting for this video

Was waiting for this since I found you months ago. Loved the video. You always keep it real and relatable.

9:55 this is extremely important. The factor that I remember that ended up importing my score by a lot. I was not aware that I had exam anxiety and performance anxiety. After all, I was used to taking exams. I remember the first time I did 6x blocks back to back under exam condition with an hour break. I ended up missing about 45q overall despite knowing them super well. It took me 3 days to figure out how and why I missed them. Contrary to popular belief, I missed 9q during my first block and my best blocks were the final ones once my nerve settled. The sad part was that I was unaware of it. So if you are reading this. Take your first full on exam practise 6 weeks before your actual test then repeat once a week. You will see the huge improvements after your 3rd exam.

One of the best videos so far!!!

Love your videos! Thanks for posting!

I hope you achieve the goals you wrote on the chart. We like the same specialities. Thanks for your work

I believe that your videos are more useful and time saving for medstudents than may other vloggers with unnecessary sh*t. Hope you keep doing more such videos and help the medfraternity survive 😅
