Hey Guys ! For Divine Intervention Podcasts, I am sharing the link of the document where Divine himself has recommended high yield episodes to listen to. I referred to this document and listened to all the recommended ones. They are MUST DO. Other than that I listened to some rapid review ep in my free time. I also listened to some ep on specific topics I thought I was weak at and needed more clarity. There is also an Excel sheet on his website where ep number and topic are mentioned. I am putting the link here docs.google.com/document/d/1B_SmwkYiKWcbITbHlkfHYgbE3pDmH7ue

Please make a video on solving uworld
I have already made that video, check out my channel
Ujjwal Soni, Best of luck for your match process !
I am currently preparing for step 2 , which cms forms would recommend ( all or latest 3/4 ) thank you
All the latest ones ! No point doing the old ones
Hello Dr. Soni, hope you are well! I've been loving your content! I had a question how I can score 250+ on my step 2, I am an American med student in my 3rd year. Im not the smartest student but I have over 7 months still until test day, what advice would you tell me to do since I am already doing uworld questions for shelf exams.
Hey, I have made two strategy videos on USMLE. I think if you read notes, annotate them while solving Uworld for youe shelf exams you will be in a pretty good place. Refer to strategy Part 1 video. Hope it helps :)
@@DrUjjwalSoni Thank you Dr. Soni, I will do that and watch the video! Keep up the good work!
@@DrUjjwalSoni Also if you would ever like to collab on a future video I would all ears, you're an inspiration man!
Sir what if I fail the ck exam. When can i give my next attempt for ck?
You will have to register for it again after you get your result !! But it is advisable to pass these exams in single attempt so only take them once you are well prepared!
Divine is so huge , which ones do you suggest ?
Check the pinned comment
Pls share which branch u match

Hi, u can take usmle only once in a lifetime?
The scores cannot be improved?
Yes !! The exam can only be retaken if you fail. Scores cannot be improved
@@DrUjjwalSoni I am planning of giving them , so what should I keep in mind ?
That it can be taken only once ? And the step 1 needs to be passed and step 2 is once a lifetime thing and its score once is sacrosanct ?
@@srishteegautam6141 Correct !
