    Great video, and as someone who went trough step 1 and is currently studying for step 2 I completely agree with this guy, to the point it almost seems strange how much I agree. Anyone studying for step 2, this is solid advice guys, definitely a great plan to not just pass but to also do well. I have been doing the same thing and after 1 pass trough Uworld, step up and DIT i am above the 220's. I am going to do it ALL again to hopefully hit the 240's. Motivation and being happy are a central lesson I got from step 1 and was super happy to seem him mention it (those are very WISE words people), again this guy is 100% on the money. Good luck everyone!

    You're getting less views on your last videos but please don't let that stop you from sharing your knowledge!! You're not any less inspiring and we love to get updates from your path through medicine even if it has to be once every year :) !

      @victoryw.o1920 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Abdullah Al-Shimri that’s a highly inaccurate statistic. Most of us IMGs do just fine and even better than AMGs FYI. Watch the video and keep quiet please 🙄

    Just took step 2 yesterday. Such great advice. Timing is half the game (if not more) on step 2. Great advice

    God, you're HILARIOUS!!! I'm currently prepping to sit the Step 1 as an International Medical Student, but I found myself looking at your Step 2 videos. I'm going to check your Step 1 video 💃🏽💃🏽

    I love your plan; it's so simple. Complexity is the enemy of execution, said some very wise person once. I am just curious how long was your dedicated Step 2 study time.

    I wish this video was available before my step2CK prep, it would have saved me from a lot of the stress and uncertainty

    @alexaomview 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    @shadyelnaggar 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much for such fascinating video, I have a little problem in performing the plan, which is: There are not enough spaces in STEP UP book to right down UWorld notes, I tried but it became so crowded, I tried to put papers with the notes written in in the book but it took a lot of time. So I decided to write down UWorld notes in a separate notebook, what do you think about that?? and thanks in advance...

    @nadiaahsan570 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    hi! when you did the uworld blocks, did you do mixed questions or subject by subject?? I'm doing my blocks timed, however I'm going subject-wise...i.e starting with Medicine...I would create blocks of pulmonary...then GI..etc. I'm not sure what would be a better idea doing them subject-wise or a mixed mode?? how did you do it?
    thanks! liked your advice in this video.

    • @khareo3580
      @khareo3580 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @KARISSIER
      @KARISSIER 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, I feel the same way. I started my prep about 2 months ago, and use this approach to studying. Uworld Q bank; one text book that I annotate. Even with a full day of studying I cant do more that 30-40 questions thoroughly a day. It very discouraging as I feel as though I'm moving soo slow. I really dont know how people are doing 2 - 3 blocks of questions per day.
