    Can you share a little on how to study - like the basics? did you learn how to study to master the concept and question - in high school? undergrad ? What about study groups? You're right there is so many study materials out there, but if you don't know how to study and memorize - how do you know which resource(s) are best before test time or dedicated study time.

    • @oreofeoladapo
      @oreofeoladapo  Před rokem +2

      I think I made a mistake in the video, I watched a lot of the Mehlman Medical review videos where he did practice questions (his channel is filled with short 5ish minute videos where he breaks down questions, and he has playlists by subject. For the High Yield images videos, it’s actually Dirty Medicine (another great CZcams channel) I watched. Here’s a link to that playlist czcams.com/play/PL5rTEahBdxV54cZpVjhJKqOL6huEMW4hY.html

      @oreofeoladapo  Před 9 měsíci +2

      To do this i would usually go through my NBME self assessment analysis. It’ll say whether you’re doing poorer than most students in a certain area, the same as them, or better. So pay more attention in what you’re underperforming in. I hope this helps💕

    • @oreofeoladapo
      @oreofeoladapo  Před 5 měsíci

      If you’re not at a school that has time constraints for when to take it, it honestly depends on how you’re doing on NBME’s in your opinion. If you’re not currently passing, i’d give myself at least 1-1.5 months to work towards a passing score. But the registration process can take a while in itself. I registered before i even started dedicated studying and worked towards my test date.

      Hi! The actual step 1 exam doesn’t report your score, but the practice tests do. There still is a minimum passing score on the real thing, they just don’t tell you your exact score
