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🇱🇷
I've always believed USMLE is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass
So sorry about that am still looking forward too take my USMLE exam on June just studying hard and praying to God I know I can make it.
USMLE exam is so difficult & I don't know the reason why it should be?
After, 3-4 years of studying we are being challenged be the ultimate exam "USMLE" many students face difficulties in acquiring their license
I failed my USMLE exam 2 times first was 2020 second was 2021 and I lost money on review questions and also wasted a lot of time studying which never helped me .
Finalllllllyyyyyyy, waited for this video for so long.
Thank you for the tips, especially love the tip about simulating the real exam time schedule for every nbme
Thanks Dr Challa. Your videos are so helpful.

Great work..keep it up
Very informative, Thanks for the info brah
Thanks for making video I was waiting for long time. Your videos are too good
Thank you! :)
Yes sir please do it
I do 4 blocks of uworld a day in exam mode and I agree question fatigue can be a determining factor if you're not used to be sitting in front of a screen +5hrs a day. I believe a new set of nbme's are coming out the 27th
Thats amazing! 4 blocks is quite impressive. I agree, new NBMEs will be out on the 27th. I will release an NBME order list before that. It will probably take time before we understand the predictive values of the new tests. Once those are out, I might release an updated video
Thank you for this ❤️❤️, waiting for the video for order of tests.
The video should be out in the next few days :)
Thank you. It would be really nice if you could do a video on the order in which the NBMEs should be done and when exactly to start doing NBMEs( should it be after we finish the first round of world or before)
The video will be out within the next week so please subscribe so you get notified when it comes out :) also I discuss when I think you should take your NBMEs in this video (czcams.com/video/tYt19bqdH1c/video.html) but in short, I would prefer to take it after the first round of uworld :)
Thank you, very beneficial tips.
Thank you!
Do make a video on the sequence of NBME that should be followed
Hello Dr. challa ..can a img with yog 4 still match? Or it's too risky?
Hello Dr. Challa would you please make a new video about the new NBMES from 25-30

@@DrChalla since newer nbmes are coming with a little change in the exam pattern ,maybe you can guide us on that too.

I have my final exam now and I am planning to give my step 1 in June 2024 I have done my uw 75% and haven't give any Nmbs and also some topic in micro and pharma repro Endo and neurology are left which I haven't done very well I did them one time but still not perfect so
What should I do with NBMEs and with revision and all
It would be really nice if you could do a video on the order in which the NBMEs should be done and when exactly to start doing NBME!!! .......THANK YOU :)
It should be out real soon so please do subscribe so you can be notified when the video comes out :)
And uworld 1 round is effective or 2 ?
Well all people are different, so I can't speak for everyone. Different people have a different baseline level of knowledge when starting usmle, and some people, whilst having knowledge, have difficulties applying it in a clinical setting. I personally prefer 2 rounds of Uworld, one as a learning tool and the second as an assessment tool. I talk more about it in this video here so I'd definitely recommend for you to check this out :) czcams.com/video/clUCDSToMmU/video.html
💯
How much are the nbme exams?
Now that Step 2 ck is terminated what will Non us IMGs go through who want a surgical residency?
It's CS not coming back, CK is still required
To my knowledge, Step 2 CS is cancelled, not Step 2 CK. I don't believe that the cancellation of step 2 cs changes the state of IMGs that much since it is a pass fail test, and it barely provides any objective measures to assess candidates by. My advice would be to score well in Step 1, Step 2 CK, approach surgery staff for research oppurtunities and do rotations in surgical specialities. :)
Hello Dr Challa. Hope you are doing fine. I really love your videos and the way you simplify the questions regarding the steps to a good marks. I started taking NBME's recently. 1st, NBME 21 - 196 (UW 1st pass 75-80% done at that moment) 4.5 months out, 2nd, NBME 28 (UW 1st pass done) - 215 3 months out.My expectations and reality devastated me. My exam is in 3.5 months. Can i reach a 250-260 with my progress (by which i am not satisfied one bit, sorry for seeming so ungrateful). Can i make it to 260? Your honest, valuable opinion will be highly appreciated and i shall be grateful. And what can i do to improve myself? Thankyou for reading this long comment out of your very busy schedule.
Please make videos on nbmes ordeo
It should be out real soon so please do subscribe so you can be notified when the video comes out :)
How important is American accent for usmle??? I am half-way there
In my experience, it really doesn't matter whether you have an american accent or not. All you need to learn is to be efficient when you speak and get your point across. As long you're able to convey your message to the listener, the accent is quite irrelevant.
Looks like you are talking about just step 1
