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 Mrs Melissa
This is crazyy!!!! Can you please give me a breakdown of your study schedule to finish 300 questions a day? And were you doing in in tutor mode or timed mode??
We usually do 90 minute study blocks and each block has about 70q on tutor mode. When we get an incorrect, we glance over the rationale and transfer it to an anki card. So four blocks of that is about 280 questions. The first pass of Uworld might take you longer so try to aim for 160 questions a day. But on your second or third passes, you can hit the 300! -dan
When I did 80q it seemed like a LOT. I felt drained at the end of the day. But just like a marathon, it’s about building endurance and climbing up slowly to 300q. This goes along with making your reviews more efficient. :)
It’s closer to 70qon most blocks, some blocks do hit 80q but the key has been the repetition and the quick review time. For first pass on the banks, it will take longer and you probably may only hit 60q on the 90m block but the second and third passes will be a lot faster. Review time is quick because of the X+Y=Z thinking explained in the video You can check out our first study with me video actually which will show you the speed I went through uworld!
@@uravgmedstudents I am studying for Step 1 amd will soon begin to go through my first pass of Uworld. I dont have much time to prepare (around 4 weeks). Do you recommend i do the X+Y=Z method where I just look at the correct answer choice. Or should i read all the explanations and take notes, etc. The reason I'm asking is becuase if I do the latter. I will not be able to go through all of Uworld in the amount of time that I have for dedicated. Through your exprience, is it more quantity over quality?
My opinion is to do XYZ method for sure, you will get your speed up with it. IMO for time crunch, quantity > quality. More questions is the absolute key Dan
It’s all in the ability to do questions questions, questions - which we both agree has been the most important method in getting us from our average baselines to higher scores! It’s all in having the grit and determination to do so, which everyone is more than capable of having :)
flame under the a** effect :) But also: I knew from step 1 studying the only way I could get into passing range from my poor baseline was: more questions I used that philosophy in Step 2 because I understood it was something completely in my control. So I kind of kept that mentality with me on days that suck… I don’t think i’m the smartest med student, but I knew I could at least sit my butt down on a desk and crank through a sheer number of questions to improve my chances for a good score? That’s sort of what I was thinking Dan
@@uravgmedstudents first of all, thanks!you guys do reply. It feels like one to one session/help/advice which means a lot to us. And I believe your philosophy that everything is control is smart and it does lead to wonders. Can you guys make a video how you scheduled your time for studying and other daily life stuff. Would be a lot of help.
the time it takes is dependent on the type of anki card you’re using. For instance, a blank card with multiple pieces of recalls will take longer to get through than anking cloze deletion cards. Try keeping your cards as simple as possible if you are making your own anki cards and your speed may improve over time! Thank you for watching :)
@@uravgmedstudents Found that if I make specific, small anki cards, I end up memorizing them with no good use. I prefer open questions like "Acute pancreatitis" and then I try to say everything I know about the topic Could you do a video on how you studied for step1? It's interesting even if we use anki differently :)
Yes! Your style of making anki card is, by far, the best way to learn. Personally, Dan had done that for several of his preclinical courses and scored his highest when he had used long-answer format cards. The downside of course is that they do take an immense amount of time to get through. At the end of the day, the best strategy are the ones that work well for you. We only offer the suggestion of doing 300q per day or going through 500-600 anki cards/hr, but these numbers can absolutely be adjusted if you are spending more time going through anki cards. Especially if they are long-answer formatted! We're glad you are interested in hearing about our experience in Step 1! We'll add it to our video pipeline and thank you again for watching :)
The USMLE exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed step 1 after 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

Please does anyone know who this Mrs Melissa is? I really need to speak with her I'm frustrated 🥺
Scammers now pretend to help you pass and the end up taking your hard earned money, Melissa is a sure help but very difficult to get her info
Wow.300 questions a day!impressive 👏👏.
Anyone can do it! It just takes some time to build up endurance.

Very good video and with needed information
Thank you! Hope it helped!
Good video with lots of info!
Thanks! 👍
I’m studying for step1 I can barely do 80 questions a day without feeling tireda how do you do 80q blocks and do 300qs per day??!!
When I did 80q it seemed like a LOT. I felt drained at the end of the day. But just like a marathon, it’s about building endurance and climbing up slowly to 300q. This goes along with making your reviews more efficient. :)
80 questions in 90 minutes. Is Almost 90 second per question. How are you doing it that fast and reviewing the question at the same time?

And how long was your dedicated?
Both of us had an ~2 month dedicated! -R
Damn! You are not average students nor this plan looks like for an av. students 😢
