  • Hey all! Happy New Year! I am a non-US IMG currently in the interview trail with a low step 1 score and let me just share with you things I did differently from my Step 1 to Step 2 CK study giving me an almost 40-point jump in scores. This is a continuation of my video in overcoming a low step 1 score and still getting interviews despite it. This is not a 270s story but I hope this still helps if you are like me who felt devastated by a low step 1 score.

      I've always believed USMLE is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass

    Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations on passing with such great score. Could you please share how long after taking step one you started studying for Step 2 and how long did it take to study for Step 2?

      Hello! Thanks so much for your kind words! It took around 7 months for my study cause it was more than a year gap since I took step 1 due to family issues.

    Awesome video, did you use any of the premade Anki decks?

      @doctorsays1330  2 года назад +1

      Thanks so much for that! I did use tzanki for IM but I didn't focus on using anki during my dedicated.

    Congratulations . In dedicated when you were doing 3-4 blocks a day did you read entire uworld explanations or just the incorrect question explanation ?

    • @doctorsays1330
      @doctorsays1330  2 года назад +2

      So in my notion notes, I tag some topics as "weak topics". For those topics, incorrect, and those that I wasn't sure of the answer but got it right anyway, I read the whole explanation. For others, I just read the summary to refresh myself.

      @doctorsays1330  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I used CMS for IM, obgyn, peds, and surgery. I talked about that in more detail in this video ruclips.net/video/EOHFFi-o59g/видео.html. You can jump to 08:47 timestamp for CMS forms.
