    I apologize for not making this clearer in this video. But the Anki decks that I was studying were ones that I had made using the content from FirstAid

      USMLE exams won't bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs Catherina Moore ... She's God sent, she saved me from taking the test for the 6th time

      It's not about watching videos here on RUclips and wasting your time on materials and reviews that won't help, I was ignorant doing so till I got recommended to Mrs Catherina Moore, some how watching videos helped me too because without watching them i wouldn't have known about Mrs Catherina

    Thanks for sharing your experience!
    Question for you: I did not understand well how your reviews on Anki worked. When did you move to the next organ system on Anki (reviews)? Tks a lot

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад +3

      It was pretty variable for me. But what I would do is go through an entire organ system. This could take me a few days to do because I would only go through new material in the morning. In the afternoon, I would review old material, including what I had learned the day previous. I hope that makes a little more sense. If you have any other question, please feel free to reach out!

    • @rafaelulyssesdeazevedo2893
      @rafaelulyssesdeazevedo2893 4 года назад +2

      Muggle Doctor, Almost tks for the answer! It’s clear to me how you went through the news cards in the morning, although I still could not understand well how did you prioritize your reviews in the pm. I assume that at some point of your dedicated period, you had so many reviews from different organ systems to do and maybe you did not have enough time to review all of them on a daily basis. How did you manage this? Will try to use a similar schedule. Thank you very much for sharing it

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад +2

      Rafael Ulysses de Azevedo you’re right in that some days I wasn’t able to finish the review of the old cards. I prioritized by the first going through the previous day’s material and then I usually started with the highest yield material (ie. cards, neuro, gi, etc.). Once I finished those higher yield systems I went on to the lower yield material. Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Thanks for the video. Did u get pre made anki decks or u did them on your own?

  • @wasabiman82
    @wasabiman82 4 года назад +2

    So you didn’t really read first aid during this dedicated period? Did you use Sketchy or Pathoma? It sounds like just uworld and anki were your main focus.

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад +4

      I apologize. I did not make that super clear in this video. But I memorized FirstAid through flash cards that I made through Anki. I used Sketchy for microbiology and antibiotics. I then used an Anki deck to memorize those. I only used pathoma when I felt like FirstAid didn't explain it well.

    I am a second year student. And I want to start preparing for for step 1. Can you guide me how to start? I want to first strengthen my basics first. Do you think coaching is needed or videos/books/subscriptions are enough?
    Thank you. Would be huge help, doc!

    Hi Dylan! Which Anki decks you use for anatomy?

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад

      Hello! I actually made my own decks from the anatomy sections of FirstAid and studied those!

  • @ddfelder2
    @ddfelder2 4 года назад +1

    Random, but how did you study for MCAT? Did you use anki decks for MCAT content review? (Sorry, newbie premed here...)

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад

      Yes I did. I made the review book an anki deck and then studied those along with practice exams!

    Hello Muggle Doctor....what is ur thought on nbme20...i heard is very difficult.....

    • @muggledoctoralmost930
      @muggledoctoralmost930  4 года назад

      I thought it was the hardest NBME that I had taken. But it was brand new at that time so I really didn’t have anything to compare it to. It really wasn’t being talked about all that much either on reddit or other forums.

  • @deserteagle6704
    @deserteagle6704 4 года назад

    I'm a bit confused. I've read that once you pass usmle, the scores remain for 7 years. How did you improved then?
    I will be an img, so if i get 240 in step 1 and 245 in step 2, will i be able to improve my marks by taking next time???

    • @yukinetakanashi3714
      @yukinetakanashi3714 3 года назад

      i think he's talking about his mock test scores. in the us, I believe they trust their mock test scores a lot since ppl get depressed over their mock test scores and all. if u do well in mock tests then u will prolly do well on the main test too. btw I'm an img too so take my words with a grain of salt.
