I have seen so many videos regarding Step 1 preparation and honestly, your videos made the maximum sense to me without giving me anxiety attacks. You talk about achievable goals, limited resources and wonderful explanation of how to use each resource. Thanks a ton. These videos are immensely helpful. 👍👍👍👍👍
This channel has a promising future. Editing and animations can be improved but the information mentioned can yield fruitful results. Also I’d love to know your opinion regarding Anki and whether it is a useful study strategy. Can’t wait for more videos.
I just found about your channel. I am thinking on taking the steps and i was stressing a lot but you make this feel like something anybody can do if they work hard. Thank you bro, the amount of money on therapy sessions you saved me from expending are going into STEP material 😂
Proud of you..... indeed of the the most helpful video on TH-cam ❤ Jazakallah khairun. Can you please make a video on how IMGs will get into residency if the scoring system in USMLE is changed to Pass/Fail? As you know the scoring system was a great support for IMGs specially for the countries where there is lack of exposure to research for students. 😔 Please make a video on this. Thinking about this gives me panic attack 😞
I am sorry to hear that you did not pass the exam. I would love to help you with your preparation. For USMLE Tutoring, check my website thematchguy.com/usmle-tutoring/
First of all I'm happy to see one of my people (Arabs) have made it ... I would like to follow your 3 stages approach but I want to ask you how to implement Anki ?
I'm glad Step moved their scoring to Pass Fail. Now I'll stop getting videos that pop up with people bragging about their grades and talking about the same materials over and over.
Thanks for this, could you please discuss the recent changes coming up to step 1 (pass/ fail) and how this will change how we prepare as FMGs/ IMGs? Does it make sense to take step 2 before step 1? When did you take step 1 during your process? After second year?
Congratulations Dr. Malke I want to ask you a question from your experience What does it take to get a very high score like your score ?? A very high level of IQ or a lot of preparation and perseverance with a normal rate of IQ ??? In other words, does a lot of preparation for people with normal IQ levels enable them to get as high a score as yours ?? I hope you will answer me.🌸🌸🌸
Congrats man! You worked hard. Goal should be getting education adequately rather than memorizing irrelevant shit and mastering standardized tests. But who am I?
Hello sir! I'm confused as to when to appear for the step 1. I'm in 2nd year now and I've not yet started preparing for USMLE. What would you suggest? When should I appear for the step 1 so that I start my preparation accordingly? Should I just focus on my university exams and start preparing for step 1 during my internship or should I start it now?
Thank you! You have really helped me out! By the way, did you watch videos? Such as pathoma videos? Or reading the books is enough for the first stage of building the basis? 😁
Hi , i'm from Colombia and i always see some of your videos. I wanted to know how much do you spend to prepare ? 6m , 1 yr ? And which NBME do you recommend to start and at end of preparation ?
Dude our doctors have always been the best 👌🏻 🇸🇾 our school curriculums have always been one of the hardest, this guy’s first language isn’t even English and scored so competitively on US step exams. I’m so proud 🇸🇾❤️
Hello Malke, I have just entered my second phase of preparation and was noticing that many of my friends would say that they want high scores but those scores are generally not needed for their specialty, after you too sharing this same thought makes me feel better about my thinking. I just found your page and I am so glad that you are willing to help through your videos. Heaps of appreciation to you Doctor!
I want to appear in USMLE examination in 2023, but I want to start my preparations from this year. I already have kaplan notes and books (2020). Am I Suppose to buy 2021/2022/2023 videos?(since I'm appearing in 2023? also do kaplan notes changes with years?

I’m a 6th yr international medical student (our medical school is 7 yrs) and was wondering wether to study for it now along with medicine and surgery which is my current curriculums. My friend told me if I studied for it now, it would make me fail both my curriculums and step 1, while I think I can study for it for 10 mos along with my curriculums any advice ?
Hey Malke thanks for the video do you feel that it would be more appropriate to start with uworld topic by topic early on in your study or save it till the end when everything has been finished ?
I did Med school 15 years ago I had to quit for personal reasons I am able to take step 1 now…but my knowledge of medicine is not good due to gap. Should I just use first aid and uworld or should I include other resources as well to compensate for shaky knowledge?
when did you do your step1 exam ?.. and if i want to match in special surgery and now Iam in last year in my medical school. the better is to do elective and return to home to do ck or travel to us after doing step 1 and ck? due to financial limit
