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.
Best of luck with your exam bro, I’m really glad I could help!
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 .
This was a video that was really needed for USMLE prep. Great work !
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.
Was waiting for this since I found you months ago. Loved the video. You always keep it real and relatable.
Hell yeahhh was waiting for this video
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 😅
Hello Dr. Please continue doing this kind of videos. They are very useful.
you have such impressive English and your accent makes your content so much more engaging!
I hope you achieve the goals you wrote on the chart. We like the same specialities. Thanks for your work
Is the word "thank you" enough?
I am very grateful for these gems concentrated in one video! Thanks a lot!
One of the best videos so far!!!
Love your videos! Thanks for posting!
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.
This video was so helpful, thank you so much!!!
Golden as always!
Amazing video!! Thank you so much
Excellent video my friend !
Oh God I got excited just by seeing the title 😭
Plzz make a video on best way to study all the "ologies" with best strategy and resource for each subject...cuz I'm a 1st year med school student and have a lot of time
Great tips!
Hi my friend- Dr. Santiago! Just wanted to ask if you can share some advice on how to crush the tough questions like on stats, genetics and basically anything which requires a complicated formula (eg: dosage, Vol of Dist etc..)??
Whats the best way to do the qbank... Along the lectures or once your done?
can you share link of first 4 videos?
Great bro!
Very useful thank you
Hey Santiago what do you think about PHYSEO?

Buen video, me gustaría mejorar mi inglés para la carrera de medicina, algún consejo?
Siempre utiliza recursos en ingles mientras estudias tus materias de la universidad. Comienza a leer los artículos en ingles, videos, e incluso puedes leer los libros texto en inglés. De esa forma vas adquiriendo bastante vocabulario médico
Now i am in first prepare for step1 ..but i can't end one block in single day because all my day only goes on just a few questions..are that is normal or there is a problem in me??
It could be normal. We all have different rhythms, and there is no need to rush your learning. As time goes by and questions start to repeat themselves you get more efficient. Having said that, I do have a video on getting more efficient on reviewing question banks. It’s in the USMLE playlist, hope it’s of use!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
did u delete ur instagam? :(
Wait, what you did 2 blocks u world morning and 2 amboss evening......how many hours did you take to revise each block of U world??
Hey Carol, it varied. During the first couple of months it could very well take the entire morning (7-12). Once the questions started repeating the same concepts over and over again the review time was significantly reduced. There were some blocks that took me just a couple of hours. Keep in mind I did all the questions on tutor mode so I did not had to reread the stem twice, that also helped.
@@SantiagoAQ Cheers for the reply and clarification.
