I’m an international medical student and I’ve watched a dozen of these videos but let me tell you honestly you have covered the most crucial points that i needed and i was always wondering about that how to actually study efficiency. Thank you so much for this amazing video♥️♥️
Mohamad, you have no idea how much that means to me. Go CRUSH the exam for me!
I totally agree. You were more practical and highlighted a lot of important points.
Thanks
@@timjmd Hey Dr Tim. Thanks for the great video. I'm from Pakistan and planning for step 1. But I'm really much confused about the resources. I found sketchy hard to digest for me. Can you please tell me what other good resource could be for me regarding path and micro?
@@kiraniqbal590 Pathoma is #1 for path. Robbins & Cotran Pathology textbook is also very good.
For Micro, I would give Sketchy Micro a shot if you haven’t already, as so many students swear by it, including me. But Lecturio, and “Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple” textbook are other resources you can try for Micro.
@@timjmd Can you tell me how sketchy works good for us?
Thanks so much for the advice, I'm in my first semester of medical school and trying to figure how to incorporate these question banks with studying the subjects. I'm going to purchase Uworld and Pathoma. I have a USMLE guide as well. Please keep making these videos!!
Nice video, I'M watching this video from Dominican Republic. Confidence in yourself is one of the most important things when you going to take challenges like The USMLE. Thanks for all the information on this video bro!!
Your video popped out in recommendation while thinking if I picked up good resources for the step 1. Thx for the great video
Currently in dedicated grappling with how best to maximize my time Thank you for this amazing video! Will give your suggestions a try.
great advice man thank you!
So comprehensive! Thanks for paying it forward 🙏🏽💯
Happy to do it! 💪🏽
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much!!!!
Very well made video highlighting key topics. Honestly was surprised you don't have more subs!
I can’t believe how many I have in just a month 🤯 thank you and everyone watching these for making this such a fun experience so far!
I'm giving my step 1 in less than 6 months and this was highly informative. Thanks a lot.
Glad to help!
what an amazing video !!! thank u so much
THE SKIT IS AMAZING 🤣
Bro, this such amazing advice.
Hey Tim! Your 50th subscriber here. Your videos are catchy, crisp, clear and to the point. I've gained a lot of valuable insight as an IMG from all of your 4 videos. Amazing work, man and may your channel flourish soon.
Thank you Geeth 🙏🏽
I agree, he was to the point and told the truth on his journey, I can tell and it will help him long term practicing!
@@sunvavachi we all go through our own learning process, and some of us are better at hiding our mistakes than others, especially med students! One of the ways I hope to help all of you is to make the med school journey less intimidating than it needs to be. 🤓
First time that I subscribed just 19sec into the video of a new channel
Thanks for sharing your experience, the video was great and to the point. 👌
Thank you and good luck!!
It's very helpful dr Tim.The way you shared how you studied is very impressive and inspiring for me💜💜
Thank you, this is awesome to hear!!!
Dude, you're freaking brilliant.
Just handing down info I wish I knew years ago! But it’s truly an honor to hear this from SpongeBob Squarepants
Smart , crisp , on point and freaking hot …
Bravo Tim! God bless!
😁😁😁
This is the best video for usmle without a doubt
Thank you for the information!
Of course!!
these are great tips!! thank you doctor tim B)
Thanks Julie!! 😎
Glad I found your channel. I️ just got into medical school and want to start off day one with the right approach, just in case I️ choose to pursue a competitive specialty.
Congrats on being accepted! I remember how challenging and nerve-wracking that was. You’ve got the right idea. Set yourself up to have the option of a competitive specialty or the most competitive programs in the specialty you end up choosing.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
Great video! Thank you!
You’re welcome, I hope this helps. Good luck with your studies!
Detailed and useful information
Thank you Dr. Kay!
Nice video. Thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
I’m not even in medical school yet and this felt very informative!
Happy to help, Gabe!
Hello! Loved your updated information. I was wondering what your recommendation would be for someone that has been out of medical school for many years. Would the Kaplan test prep be a good way to go to re-gain that knowledge base?
Yes, and Boards & Beyond and AMBOSS are pretty comprehensive for content review (as opposed to just practice Qs).
If you’re an Anki user, there are several pre-made flash card decks (eg. Zanki, Brosencephalon) you can download for free!
Good tips.
Can u make a video on how to approach year 2 of med school? Like best way to use pathoma, sketchy and what qbanks to use, so that u r prepared for the dedicated.Nice video and keep making more!!
Yes, that sounds like it would be really helpful. Stay tuned!
Man you are Good!!!!!
Thanks dude, doing my best!!
I’m entering residency now and most likely not need majority of your content. But I subbed and liked cuz u have great production skills for ur video. Good work. Keep it up.
I’m entering residency soon as well, so hopefully my future videos can be more useful to you too!
Best of luck as you start residency!!
@@timjmd thank you good sir and you as well. excited for the future of your channel and career!
Very much helpful video
Glad this helped!
Hey Great offering there
Try to add some IMG specific videos and you can help a lot of people with your simple and precise explanation and grow your channel exponentially
This is helpful, thank you!
What do you think about starting uworld directly without doing a boards and beyond/First Aid read? I am a medical graduate and an IMG, I only have until May to give Step 1. I'm not saying I have a great base knowledge since I did basic sciences 4 years ago, but I was thinking about using the questions to go back and do those parts from First Aid. Using uworld as a learning tool basically.
You should absolutely use UWorld as a learning tool. I think it's a fine primary study method, as long as you take every block timed, take good organized notes from the explanations, read those notes regularly and redo ALL of your incorrects until you get each one correct. This is more or less what I did for Step 2 and I did really well.
I'd still recommend doing 2-3 passes of Pathoma Ch. 1-3 (Pathology up to 52% of Step 1 Qs) at the very least if you can budget the time.
The Boards & Beyond for Biochem is just 9 hours of video that could cover as many as 24% of your Step 1 questions. Not quite as important as Pathoma, but if you can budget out the time I would consider it.
Good luck on your exam!!!!
What are you ？ a life saver YES PLS !! ❤️🔥
😂
Hi
Please tell me how much gap is acceptable to get residency for img
LOL that skit in the beginning 😂😂 v accurate
Based on a true story! 🤣
Hey…What resources would you suggest for anatomy, immunology, behavioural sciences, genetics and biostats?
P.S. The video was really helpful. Keep them coming
Thanks Noel!
Boards & Beyond has a section for each of those that are pretty good.
First Aid has comprehensive sections on all of them as well.
For anatomy/embryology, I also found USMLE-Rx’s 5-10 min videos to be pretty helpful!
Hi.im in year 4.so i have around 4 years until my step 1.do you think its a good idea that i start reading kaplan books in these 4 years؟will it ensure my pass؟
thank you for your sharing
may i ask is there any physio video lectures that you could perhaps recommend?
I’ve heard through the grapevine that Dr. Najeeb lectures are fantastic.
Ninja Nerd is also full of high quality physiology lectures. I used it to tackle the beast that is renal physiology!
Hello Doctor. Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations on your score!!! My question is about Anki application, is it possible to pass without using this application and in your opinion, will there be a major difference between First Aid Step1 2021 and 2022 that will affect on pass/fail. I learned all high-yield principles with 2021 First Aid and now, as my dedicate period already started and FA 2022 is out should I take time and compare all the differences?
Great questions!
Anki was not my primary study method for either Step 1 or Step 2. It is an extraordinary tool if used right, but you can definitely pass without it.
I read through the changes in First Aid 2022 and there’s minimal change in content from FA 2021. I wouldn’t get hung up on any differences, since the Step 1 content is the same!
@@timjmd Thank you so much for your response. It was really helpful.
Thank you so much for nice guidelines.
Love and respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰💐💐💐💐🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Do you think 6 month subscription is enough now that step 1 is p/f and i do UW after first pass of FA and doing RX qbank?
Also can i use word doc instead of one note or its not good idea for UW incorrects?
6 month subscription is definitely enough time especially since you just need to Pass.
Word doc is also great for notes! I’ve heard of people using Word, PowerPoint or Anki for their incorrect reviews that absolutely crushed Step 1. The main idea is to drill in those incorrects until you can get them correct with your eyes closed. I just prefer OneNote because of how organization and versatility!
Great video. So it’s best to aim for a score a higher than a 212 on nbme’s to pass?
What’s up Edgar! The USMLE changed the minimum passing score from 194 to 196 as part of their big P/F change. So I would say a 204 is the absolute bare minimum score you’re looking for on a practice form, since that would put your 67% confidence interval at 196-212!
First of all, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
But may i ask if studied the first aid book for the step exam or not, if yes when and how?
Thanks! 🎉
I used FA more for reference and quick reviews for certain subjects than as a primary study method, because I personally learn a lot better by practice Qs than just reading a textbook. But other students I know learned the material well by reading FA straight through. It was great for studying in parallel for med school exams, but then I didn’t use it as much once dedicated hit.
Can u tell me pls how i start and which coaching is best and which books for USMLE step 1 because I'm entering in first yr in oct for mbbs so I don't have any idea how to crack but i want to crack
I coudn't have found your video at a better time- thank you ,Tim! I'm 5 weeks out to test day, and I couldn't decide on how I can be prepping at this point. I'm still at around 35% through uw, and I'm particularly iffy about pharmacology and physiology to some degree. I'm going to amp up the questions per day + try the method of getting through the two passes of UW + video resources. Thanks again! PS: What do you think about physeo as a resource for physiology?
Good luck! I never used Physeo but I just checked it out. I can’t speak from experience but it looks to be very comprehensive resource with textbooks, downloadable Anki decks and quiz questions which I like a lot. If you find the “Sketchy” style of visual learning most helpful for memory of Physiology then I think you’d do well by it!
@@timjmd That’s great advise, I really appreciate it Tim! And thank you so much for your great content :)
Your are great
Thank you 😊
Great tips! So if you're in a time crunch, it's better to work with 1 Q-bank rather than multiple at the same time?
Definitely! Favor getting multiple passes of the best practice questions (UWorld) so you can immediately recognize the testable concept(s) of that question as soon as it pops up.
Kaplan and USMLE-Rx are nice to warm up with early on if you have more time, but UWorld is the Q-bank I told Kaplan and USMLE-Rx not to worry about 😂
@@timjmd Hahaha for sure! Thanks for the response :)
The USMLE exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed step 1after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study, you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the STEP 1 last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard
Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info
Hey Dr. Tim, I have recently been accepted to Medical School and I start in Sept. I found undergrad to be a breeze, naturally, I am afraid that that will haunt me in medical school. I did want to start my schedule and preps early. Any other advice? Anything that you would have done earlier in retrospect?
I really enjoyed this video!
Enjoy life and all your free time now that you’re accepted and congratulate yourself for getting accepted into medical school!
Once you start, try to know the subjects you’re responsible for for each block and break it into one day at a time so you’re not overwhelmed and can know you’re on the right track at the end of each day. Study in parallel with UWorld +/- First Aid, use Pathoma, Sketchy, B&B when relevant to your med school exams so you’re Step 1 knowledge is bulked up even before you start dedicated study for it. Also make friends with older students who took the blocks before you and know the ins and outs at your med school and can give you notes or anki decks.
But don’t even worry about all that until September!!
@@timjmd hey Tim, thank you very much for your advice. I hope to keep in touch with you and I will study your videos! Thanks again!
@@therealdreshady Ah brother I’m jealous of you haha 😂. Undergrad is mad hard for me I’m glad you got it done easy. Best wishes for medical school.
@@user-ms4li1pe2b appreciate it my man, put in that work and youre in! Don't doubt yourself
Heyy. About pathoma, i only have to do the first 3 chapters from it right ? i'm a fresh graduate and have a really crisp knowledge of all the pathology and stuff as i did sketchy path in my 4th year too. i'm planning on doing my internship in my parent country from like june. do you think i'll be ready for the test by the end of year and how much time per day is necessary ?
Hey Nooray! Pathoma Ch 1-3 are definitely the highest yield, but since pathology is the most tested discipline on Step 1, you want to make sure you have a solid understanding of the concepts in every chapter. If your pathology question performance on your UWorld blocks is already great, you shouldn’t have to do every chapter, except the ones with material you need to improve.
How much time per day you spend is less important than how much material you get through. For example, if your exam is in 19 weeks, you’d just need to get through 1 chapter per week on average to master all 19 chapters of Pathoma!
Do you mind sharing how you broke up your day? For example , videos, reading FA, reading notes, q banks?
Happy to share a video on this soon!
From what i can see you never made written notes, could you please show how you would normally study
Thanks for the video! What did you use for genetics and inmuno?
Genetics wasn’t high yield enough of a section for me to devote a resource to it. You can pretty much get what you need as a byproduct of studying everything else. For Immuno, Pathoma chapters 1-3!
@@timjmd Thank you so much!
Which book and resources you used for USMLE1? Please advise.
I talk about every single resource I used in this video 🤓
thanks for sharing your experience :) And I wish you all the best in achieving your goal "Interplanetary spaceX astronaut spine surgeon" :) It made me so happy when I heard that.
Which material do u recommend for immunology
Chapter 2 of Pathoma is 🔥 for Immunology, another reason why Pathoma Ch 1-3 are so clutch. You could also memorize the immunologic pathways in First Aid!
Can you please send me a copy of the schedule in details for the following chapters and hours thank you
Hello sir ,an international student, just came across your video since I'm beginning my prep for Step 1 currently my 3rd yr of med school just started and I'm planning to give the exam by the end of this yr. My question is that doing Uworld, Bnb-biochem, sketchy for pharmac and micro,Pathoma and First aid book,notes n finally NBME would be enough? Like can I pass using these resources in this much limited time period or Is Kaplan a Solution too🙃..A bit confused here
Hi Jahanvi! My opinion is that if you use the sources in this video, you have a HIGH chance of passing. If you are able to complete 2-3 passes of the UWorld question bank (repeating incorrects) then you shouldn’t need Kaplan or any other Q bank. If you have at least 6 months until your test, you have more than enough time to use these resources and pass with flying colors, as long as you stay focused and stick to your study plan!
Hey I heard there were only 40 experimental questions. Are there really 80 of them??
The NBME keeps the exact numbers on the hush hush, but it’s true: up to 80. There’s a super informative blog post on this and the Step 1 score variance, which I’ll drop in the description.
I m 3rd year medical student should I take uw subscription or do offline uw now preparing for step 1 side by side vd my university exam
I’m all for studying side by side (“in parallel”). There’s great overlap with step 1 and med school exam material so it shouldn’t slow you down. I definitely think you should get a UWorld subscription if you haven’t already!
Goljan's lectures are also available in InsideTheBoards' mobile app: insidetheboards.com/app/
Good to know, thanks Patrick!
I am beginner and started with 1st aid. Should I watch bnb videos with 1st AID?Are these helpfull
First Aid has virtually everything you can be asked on step 1. Great to read and study it along with your med school science blocks.
B&B is great for studying certain subjects (I loved it for biochem). There are so many hours of B&B videos that you may have to be selective about which of his videos you use to study.
How many direct questions and answers were repeated from UWORLD in the real STEP exam?
No UWorld question is exactly the same on the actual Step exam
Hey! Can we use the pathoma book instead of the videos?
I would use both!
Do u think its possible to get prepared for step 1 in 7 to 8 months ? How much time per day to study ?
And first aid, bnb,uwourld enough? Thanks in advance and congratulations 🎊 on your score .
7 months is more than enough time to generate a passing score. My advice in this video to start on day 1 of medical school is the best advice for locking in the knowledge long term (and scoring 260+ on the old Step 1) which will pay massive dividends in your 3rd and 4th years. But for the purposes of passing the new step 1, starting 7-8 months before (using the right resources) is plenty of time!
As for the resources, UWorld is of course essential. Definitely don’t skip out on Pathoma. B&B is great for Biochem and other non-pathology content. I personally can’t recommend the Sketchys enough for Pharm and Micro! They are short and sweet and give you all the high yield facts you need for those subjects.
hey i have done one time whole uworld + marked + incoreect
i am getting 55%correct in last 2 nbme
should i do uworld 2nd round or move to amboss or focus on first aid
my exam is on july last
kindly suggest 🙏
Even with a month left till the exam, you have penalty of time to improve your score! Keep repeating incorrect UWorld questions, and take notes on them especially the ones you struggle with. Review those notes every day to lock them in!
Please anyone guide me how to find sketchy pharm and sketchy micro🙏🏼
Sketchy.com ! Link in the description!
So a full pass of all your uWorld questions. does this mean being able to go through all the questions (passed and failed) and only getting passes?. I once saw a video on how some questions can be put in one section to be able to go over them again but only those that did not make a pass
Basically, repeat every question you get wrong until you get it right at least once, AND understand why you got it right. In the video I also talk about how to do a hard reset so you can even redo the questions you got right the first time but haven’t seen in a while. Hope I’m explaining it well!
@@timjmd that was well explained thank you
How do I study pathoma? I really don't want yo use anki :(
Hey Juliana, for Pathoma I also chose not to use Anki and instead took notes on every video lesson I watched! Hopefully my explanation of this in the video made sense 🙂 I also left a link to Pathoma in the description, if you still need to get your subscription!
👍🏼
Hope this helps!
@@timjmd it does but don’t really understand UW-P rank
Also using UWorld notebook
@@JavaughnJPorter the UWorld “p-rank” is short for percentile rank, and you can find it in your UWorld account by clicking “Performance” then “Reports”. Under Reports, your p-rank is listed for each discipline (Path, Phys, etc). It’s another reason why I recommend getting most UW Qs done early, because you’ll know where you stand with each one and can strategize where you can gain the most points before you really put the rubber to the road during dedicated.
The purpose of the UWorld Notebook during dedicated is to separate your personal most to least important disciplines into their own pages, based on your p-rank and the % weight of each one on Step 1. I use OneNote, which lets you create a Notebook (eg “UW Notes”), organized by Pages (eg Path, Phys, Biochem, etc). This way when you get a Pathology Q wrong for example, you can take your notes on that question in the Pathology page of your UWorld Notes notebook.
What was your step 1 score sir?
You can hear it at the end of the video.
Watch till the end to find out 👀
tips for someone who is struggling to improve on his practice scores? I wanted to take Step 1 in a couple months but these NBMEs are killing me and my confidence 😓
2 months is plenty of time to improve your score. I also think you’re taking the NBMEs a bit early to let it worry you this much.
However, in the worst case scenario that you’re 1-2 weeks away from test day and you’re ranging at or below the pass cutoff, only then I would consider postponing my test date if I were in that position. The fee is worth it to avoid having a failed Step 1 on your transcript.
But you got this man. Pathoma and UWorld, UWorld, World.
Great name, by the way.
@@timjmd def a great name! UW is life right now, Just feel like im moving too slow on these reviews bc im trying to take in as much as possible.
Thank you for the advice!
Hey Tim! I am currently about to start my second year of medical school/prepping to study for Step 1. I am just wondering your opinion on using First Aid. I did see it on your bookshelf in the video but do not believe you discussed it in the video! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hey Quinn! My opinion is it works best as a reference or intermittent review rather than a primary study tool. Although if you’re an avid Anki user there are premade decks that have all of First Aid covered, which is a much better way to memorize it. There are students out there that learn well by reading out of a textbook, but I’ve always found it more effective to have a Q bank based study approach to build test-taking muscle memory. When you’re studying you might find that many of your incorrect answers aren’t from a lack of knowledge, but from not knowing how to apply it in a USMLE style question. Hope that helps, and good luck!!!
Hey Bro - you own that NFT up on your shelf?
It’s one that I’m looking to add to my collection 😎
@@timjmd Awesome, hope to have some of my own sometime!
Hey Tim how about First Aid?
First Aid has virtually all of the content you could see on Step 1, except the inevitable highly advanced questions that you can’t prepare for.
If you learn well by reading from a textbook, then First Aid is perfect as long as you’re testing your knowledge with UWorld and/or Anki.
Really useful tips, except the background music is extremely distracting for such a video!
Thanks UWorld! 😂 It's my 4th ever video and I have a lot to learn, so any feedback helps!

Whoa, his video is insanely good. Pretty cool to be compared to his video 😄
The only way to pass step 1 easily is to have a good brain and good foundation.
Those help for sure
The easiest way to pass step 1 is to be a human being
It’s a pass/fail exam and you made it way too complicated and unnecessarily tedious for current usmle enthusiasts. Thumbs down 👎
How would you improve it? Thanks for the feedback!
Is doing a qbank like usmlerx before using uworld a good idea?
Since it has become pass/fail exam do you still recommend i do usmle step 1 book and pathoma or just go for uworld qbank and learn from explanations. Note: i did step2 qbank multiple times and took it before step 1
Pathoma is still important to complete for nailing down pathology (the highest yield subject on Step 1). UWorld for 2 passes and making sure you take notes on explanations and review those notes should set you up for success. First Aid wasn’t one of my main study resources really. I used it more as a reference.
@@timjmd interesting and what about sketchy micro, you think it is still necessary or just pathoma?
It’s all relative and depends how confident you want to be that you’ll pass. For content review, Pathoma is the most important. Micro is 10-15% of Step 1 questions so not the most high yield discipline per se but Sketchy Micro is incredibly effective for learning it.
