Important points: 1) 1st round of UWORLD by system as an active learning tool 2) USMLE 1st aid whole reading 3) 2ed round of UWORLD by random + Flash cards of your weak topics. Very important: Do 2 Blocks of UWORLD everyday even when you are not feeling like doing it.
should i choose subject related to system? so when i finish for example anatomy from renal system shoul i solve questions on uworld only about anatomy? or i should finish the whole system then start solving questions including more than one subject (anatomy physilogy pharmacology..)
Extremely helpful video !! I'm currently doing my second round of uworld, but I was confused regarding whether I should read first aid cover to cover again since I don't remember all of the information, but your video gave me clarity that I should be focussing on my question strategy more at this point. I find the method of elimination so amazing as well. I wasted so much time during my first pass making flashcards which I didn't even get the time to review, your advice regarding making flashcards only during the second pass is golden !! wish I had your videos earlier in my prep, but we have these now :D Thanks a lot for the effort !!
Dear what he and you mean by 1st and 2nd rounds. can you please explain it to me? please correct me if i am wrong. by the first round you mean for example if i am preparing myself for nursing exam. And in nursing UWORLD question bank we have 2200 questions. so in the first round we should read only the questions along with options and rationales? and clear the concept. then in the second round we should only solve the question without looking the rationales? @warran Biden @ Dr challa
This is the best video I have seen so far as long as my usmle journey is concerned. I had so much worries on when to do flash cards, what to, improving test taking strategies, worried about my scores in the first pass, everything has been clearly explained. Thank Dr. Challa.
@@manikmadaan i just felt like i should start preparing for usmle. So i started with physiology. I covered just the general physiology. Since i've prepladder subscription, i have gone through it and found much more helpful than kaplan lectures. So what am doing is , am going through costanza review book , also sembulingam. Is that enough ? For pgysio..and considering you world, when should i start using? Since i havent covered all the topics. Is there question bank for free or site, where i can practice alongside with my starting phase of prep
Great vid! Just on the side note, I don't think you can eliminate GERD just by those 2 info. GERD is a disease that can definitely be confused with cardiac-related symptoms and can also occur early in age. Have seen plenty of them in the hospital too.
It's very helpful tour video and i will try to do 2 Blocks of Uworld per dans and i'll try to learn more concept before starting uworld.thank you Dr Challa.
I m a senior gynecologist already 44 years of age & completed fellowship in gynecology & doing MS course & doing practice. Can I try for step 1 exam at this age? If so then how to start the process

After 3-4 years of nursing school,we are being challenged by the ultimate exam "NCLEX"..

Uworld is a popular question bank used to study for the United States Medical Licensing Exam. First Aid is another popular, high yeild textbook for the same exam.
Can you please make a video on your study schedule? I feel like my lack of discipline and my lack of scheduling for this exam is the reason i'm not where i need to be.
I felt the same, and I always lacked scheduling skills, so I tried Cram Fighter to help me out with that. Hope this advice helps. My best wishes to you and your Exam results.

I do uworld system wise and my average is around 77%on my first round and I take so much to finish uworld , it took me around 3 months to finish 80% my first pass , am I OK ,because I keep having freak outs due to my score and my slow pace , can anyone help ??
Please advice me what I have to do for my mistakes I have already finished the uworld but I didnt take note or add info in the first aid I thought in the second round I have to do these. now what I have to do?
Finally little waiting is over 🙌🏼 Thanks for the new video its really reaally helpful. How would you incorporate another qbank into the strategy? Ive heard that the more questions you practice, the better your score is going to be
so is the first pass of Uworld before the scheduled dedicated period? because in your previous video about dedicated study scheduling you say to do uworld timed + Random.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION, It was super helpful for me and definitely for alot of people preparing for USMLE step 1. Sir I have a question, Should I do other blanks or rather just do uworld better? I mean multiple rounds of Uworld or multiple Qbanks?
Dr challa. you said do 2 blocks everyday. how can we do that during our consolidation phase. i mean first it takes a few days to complete a unit ( eg cardio) from firstaid... and only after that i am going to start uworld for that unit. and i move to next unit. i dont understand doing two blocks everyday
Maybe in future sometime! If people really require it, then I definitely wouldn’t mind 😊 I understand that step 2 CK can be difficult to prepare for without any set textbooks like first aid for step 1.
Important points:
1) 1st round of UWORLD by system as an active learning tool
2) USMLE 1st aid whole reading
3) 2ed round of UWORLD by random + Flash cards of your weak topics.
Very important:
Do 2 Blocks of UWORLD everyday even when you are not feeling like doing it.
Should I do 2 blocks while on my 1st round ?
Is doing 2 blocks even effective? In the end, you forget everything if you don't remember
should i choose subject related to system? so when i finish for example anatomy from renal system shoul i solve questions on uworld only about anatomy? or i should finish the whole system then start solving questions including more than one subject (anatomy physilogy pharmacology..)
@@razan97295finish the whole module firsthand!
how many questions have every block of Uworld?
This is easily one of the best videos on doing uworld i have ever watched. Zero fluff and straight up useful strategies

Haha . I agree 💯
The strategy that you recommend in your video is opposite to Dr. Challa
@@alviodominguez5409 i meant the other strategies like elimination and question dissection. i still do think that 1 pass of uworld is enough 1

Really helpful!! Love your editing btw!
Great in-depth explanation!
6 months away from step 1- havn't started UWorld at all. How many questions per day should I be doing for my first pass?
I messed up by doing a lazy offline round of uworld.
Also, can we get some step 2 CK videos? Your method of teaching is very comfortable

I’m confused. Can someone tell me What is first aide? And what do you mean by two passes of Uworld?
Uworld is a popular question bank used to study for the United States Medical Licensing Exam. First Aid is another popular, high yeild textbook for the same exam.
How many questions per day you suggest?
I’ve been struggling into 20/30
But I would like to hear your thoughts
By the way
Thanks
what do you think about using the Kaplan books and videos instead of First Aid?
I am old img preparing for usmle . Do I have any scope .
When do you suggest starting/completing the first pass vs. the second pass?
Great video. Thanks!
Great video doctor !!

hello ! are you finishing a system then solving +annotating the ques from online uw? I plan to do the same
Does second pass mean doing uworld again from the start?
Great video 👏🏾👏🏾

Please advice me what I have to do for my mistakes
I have already finished the uworld but I didnt take note or add info in the first aid
I thought in the second round I have to do these.
now what I have to do?
I’m opting uworld offline, which year should I choose as there are so many qbanks of every year
Bro i am studying 2nd yr mbbs tell me how to study and schedule for the preparation for usmle
Can I use uworld in chrome book?
Very helpful, thank you
make one for USMLE STEP2 CK PLEASE
Thanks👍👍
thank you , amazing video
How many questions should I do in each block?
You're so right about making sure that we use Uworld correctly! Thanks for the tips!
How long does it take to finish if I did 2 blocks each and every day?
Great tips.
Sir do post a sample study schedule for the first year students who are Willing to prepare USMLE
What do you think about Kaplan qbank?
Excellent strategies!
Is anyone doing uworld on zoom in a group?
Finally little waiting is over 🙌🏼 Thanks for the new video its really reaally helpful. How would you incorporate another qbank into the strategy? Ive heard that the more questions you practice, the better your score is going to be
you're the besttt!
Great video!
so is the first pass of Uworld before the scheduled dedicated period? because in your previous video about dedicated study scheduling you say to do uworld timed + Random.
Can this strategy also applies to step 2 ck?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION, It was super helpful for me and definitely for alot of people preparing for USMLE step 1. Sir I have a question, Should I do other blanks or rather just do uworld better? I mean multiple rounds of Uworld or multiple Qbanks?
The best strategy is to start with another Qbank which is more NBME styled and then graduate to uworld.
Thanks man
Great, crisp explanation 👍
Thank you for this video! Really helpful :-)
Thank you for the info 😊😊
Dr challa.
you said do 2 blocks everyday. how can we do that during our consolidation phase. i mean first it takes a few days to complete a unit ( eg cardio) from firstaid... and only after that i am going to start uworld for that unit. and i move to next unit. i dont understand doing two blocks everyday
He mentioned that 2 blocks of uworld should be done per day during the revision phase, actually. Not consolidation phase :)

thanks for the clarification teja
hi do you plan on doing a step 2 ck prep video?

@@DrChalla it would be really helpful as i heard step 2 ck will have more weightage as step 1 has become pass/fail starting from next year.
