AWESOME ADVICE!! Those 25 min Pomodoro never works for me. When there's a break, i felt being interrupted. And if I do take a break, it's hard to start again. Could you also do a motivational video of how to maintain a healthy life during long test prep? Like i know I need to work out, but I always don't have the motivation for it. But med school really has been given me back pain
When I find I lack motivation to workout, I just start doing it anyways. Usually within a few minutes I start to get motivated and that further increases the intensity of my workout and the quality. Same thing with doing questions and studying. If I just basically slap myself in the face or jump in whether I feel like it or not, within a few minutes, I usually feel like I’m focused in. Caught myself trying to always rely on motivation or feel like doing the work to actually do it, and do it at a high level. Once, I made the decision to dig in, I realized that laziness I felt was just temporary more often than not, and if I just moved or did what I needed to do, the momentum would start to build.
That”oh man iam so ready”is so funny😂ur content is always good ,it works for me and that little quirk u r adding is so refreshing.thank you for being a good mentor for me.hope u hustle hard !
Most of your ideas and thought process are same like me. I love to hear you because you are like my best myself(i.e you) hearing myself(i.e me) U gave me clarity on study approaches and guiding me in a nice way. Thank u bcoz u are my life-changer.
Awesome man. Thank you for that video. I am Neurosurgeon in Colombia. I am trying to do a fellowship in USA. I got the Amboss and i am studying like you advised . I feel optimistic. I work al least 8 hours daily. So i study 4 hours from 4:30 to 8:30. It is challenging. But i am persistent. Thank you
Mr. Juan you seem to be a smart person . Good luck in your medical journey. I'm a high school student from Iraq and one day I will be a neurosurgeon god willing.
Thanks for this!! I always feel guilty doing things I enjoy when studying for step, everyone else around me seems to be studying 10+ hours but I know I need to give my brain a break. Always more productive and scoring better on questions after that!
Amazing Recommendations! Thanks for helping us! Sometimes it is great to hear everything in English, but on the other hand, you want to hear your mother tongue! Even so, it is necessary to change our chip! Yay, if we want to study in another country things as small as these make a difference in our language skills that will allow us a better development in our life. Great job Santiago! 2022 Match here I go!!!! :)
This video brought tears to my eyes. Not difficult to do considering I am constantly having to study these days but really…seeing the list of your very well-deserved achievements left me in awe! I know its very late but many many congratulations!
Thanks for this amazing video, finally someone is speaking with complete honesty. As someone might watch how others study and feel crap. Thanks Doctor and hope to see more of ur amazing videos.
So many people always recommend the Pomodoro technique but I really like your take on it. I second what you said about changing your setting to keep focused. Some really excellent points!
That 'she' is me. Lol I am pretty much convinced now. Thank you for the tips I watched other videos too. Amazing tips and tricks. Keep up with the good work.
amazing tips thank you for this incredible video I’ll try your advices while I study for mid pharmacology exam I have only tomorrow with genera and ANS system
Thanks for making vides and sharing with us. Hope u have a bright like a star future. :) and don't stop uploading ew tips and trick for cracking step 1.
Acabo de encontrar este canal y me encantó porque aparte de aprender nuevas estrategias de estudio, incluyo el inglés y si no logro entender, activo los subtítulos y ya está! Un excelente canal!!
hola, un gusto sabia que te conocía de alguna parte. ya cuando vi to foto del CICOM en la facmed me acorde. yo estaba en ese proyecto. yo soy de la UNAM y ahorita me estoy preparando para el STEP 1
Hola hermano, la verdad te envidio y te admiro a la vez, me inspiras mucho para aprender medicina y sobre todo hablar inglés, saber explicar y desglosar muy bien los temas es un arte que no cualquiera lo sabe hacer. Saludos 👍👍👍👍
i took my first NBME today. and I failed in it. now I am not taking my exam until July this year & i took my test after only 1 read of first aid , so I am feeling a bit dejected right now. and having numerous negative thoughts. i don’t know how to look at this. i thought I would have at least passed.
Glad to hear it! For me, it really depends on the type of music. I do use “concentration” music every now and then and it helps. But anything with lyrics just makes me wanna sing along, and let’s just say that’s not ideal for performance 😂
What do you think about doing 2 blocks of study with lunch break in between then a work out, diner and then go back to study for 2 hours more? 😅 you know that I found out that my focus time is not in the morning according to my chronotype; I am a wolf. What do you think about that subject? It states that there is a best time to do certain things along the day. I would like to know your opinion about this.
hahaha... i was pooping and watching your video and suddenly out of nowhere a towel comes on your face.... i laughed so hard that my poop went upwards... thankx for ruining my pooping.............
That pomodoro technique is for me like "25 mins study.... boom! It's relax time honey!" And after 5 mins,my mind," stay a little longer,honey" this last for next 20 mins 😶😶😶
Have you read Cal Newport' book "Deep Work" or about his ideas? If you have, how do you think it applies to medicos preparing for exams such as USMLE which is a very unique situation.
The beauty of this video is that 1) obviously you learn new ways of studying but 2) even if you already knew a way, there's great relief in its validation/ optimization. Thanks man!

No wonder you got 272 in step 2 . Your advice is really practical and clearly you’re speaking from a lot of experience and probably some failures
“Just because you can go 12 hours a day doesn’t mean you should”
Needed to hear that. 😪
Great video!
Saying" she " to the "mind" ❤😍
cuz it's a feminine word in Spanish "La mente"

Sure Cherrie added the idea for a future video!

¿Conoce a algunas personas de los Estados Unidos que hoy en día trabajan en Colombia? ¿Es un proceso fácil?

Thanks for making this video! It's so helpful and honest. I've been struggling with studying longer hours, definitely going to try the flow method.

The 'MOST REALISTIC'!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor donde aprendiste ingles? Soy de colombia y soy aspirante a la carrera de medicina, y me interesa mucho saber donde lo aprendiste, gracias!!!
Thank u for this !
Saludos Santiago. Respecto a la parte bioetica y los preventive medical concepts para el step 2 CK, que fuentes recomiendas revisar?
i hope these tips would help me in the long study journey ahead that is waiting for me .......i am just at the start of my medical studies .
Amazing!
great video!
How do you get 12 hours of uninterrupted time while in medical school? :/
Lying on the couch with my iphone helps my back a lot, as it doesn’t get strained.
Thank you!
Okay!!! the motivational videos definitely works and if you need to study for 12 hours everyday, the laptop on bed also works . 😂
i took my first NBME today. and I failed in it. now I am not taking my exam until July this year & i took my test after only 1 read of first aid , so I am feeling a bit dejected right now. and having numerous negative thoughts. i don’t know how to look at this. i thought I would have at least passed.
Excelente video!
Thanks 👏🏻
your videos motivate me a lot! thank u doc! postscript: do you recommend studying with music?
Glad to hear it! For me, it really depends on the type of music. I do use “concentration” music every now and then and it helps. But anything with lyrics just makes me wanna sing along, and let’s just say that’s not ideal for performance 😂
Amazing ....make a video on how you prepared for step 2ck
Coming up ✅

Omg this video is the most relatable thing in the world. Only if I had watched this earlier 🙁
hahaha... i was pooping and watching your video and suddenly out of nowhere a towel comes on your face.... i laughed so hard that my poop went upwards... thankx for ruining my pooping.............
Amazing 🤘
Podrias hacer un vídeo sobre como aprender inglés médico?
Seria ideal
For me continuing is the hard part. Wat do I do?
That pomodoro technique is for me like
"25 mins study.... boom! It's relax time honey!"
And after 5 mins,my mind," stay a little longer,honey" this last for next 20 mins 😶😶😶
do u pray the rosary everyday?
So what if we have to work between the hour of studing? My mind can't focus after because I am worry about work :(
Nice video
“Take a bath while studying”…. This made me LOL in IRL😄
Necesito un vídeo así para poder entender mejor pero en español 🥺
what do you think of ECFMG pathways to replace CS exam? which is easiest? I'm not licensed in my country
Have you read Cal Newport' book "Deep Work" or about his ideas? If you have, how do you think it applies to medicos preparing for exams such as USMLE which is a very unique situation.
The beauty of this video is that
1) obviously you learn new ways of studying but
2) even if you already knew a way, there's great relief in its validation/ optimization.
Thanks man!
This is a stupid question just curiosity why do you use 2 laptops? I notice you got a macbook and an acer is there any specific workflow?
Gracias
como diablos sacaste 272 mierquina men felicidades!!
Awesome tips, Santiago! Thank you for sharing it with us!
watched your video for the first time. did you study medicine in the US?
8hr long exam😮 compared to that the tests in Netherlands are nothing
Recomiendas estudiar con musica de fondo? Hablo de las "ondas para concentrarse" "ruidos ambientales" etc..
A veces las uso! A mi me sirven cuando en mi casa hacen ruido, pero pues no son mágicas
Hey tengo una pregunta, estoy haciendo Uworld, siempre dicen que hacer los bancos de preguntas por temas genera bias. Me gustaría hacerlo por temas para afianzar el modo en cómo hacen las preguntas de cada tema y verdaderamente identificar mis debilidades. Qué me recomiendas en este caso?
Te recomendaría intentar correr dos bancos a la vez: uno de ellos en modo sistemas y el otro en aleatorio. Algo así como 20-40 preguntas de UWORLD por sistemas + 20-40 preguntas de AMBOSS en aleatorio diarias (Por dar un ejemplo)
@@SantiagoAQ Muchísimas gracias!
