trust me. doing uworld in timed mode is complete opposite of its purpose. this is the most annoying thing people keep talking about. UWORLD is a LEARNING TOOL. you do questions and learn from the questions. I'm not saying you spent 2 hrs to finish one block. Spend time with the questions, learn how to read, learn how to pick up key words. TIMED MODE is for simulation before the real deal. You have nbme, free 120, 2 uworld tests. You dont need extra timed mode. Hope to save some souls out there.

I just wanted to say- great great channel! It’s restored my faith to pursue career as a surgeon in US, because I thought it’s impossible. Thanks and keep up the good work !
Omg i am so glad to see a Syrian RUclipsr. I knew it right away and when i saw your bio i was happy. Although am not in the US but i subscribed and am willing to see more from you. I am a Medical student in Europe. Hope you can make videos in Arabic as well. Good luck!
This's one of the most informative and motivating video I've ever seen personally for me to continue with my step 1 prep. Really needed this! Thank you Dr. Asad :)
I was in the last class to get an actual score back, and you probably could get away with just 1 month of dedication to pass, 1 content review source, and 1 question bank, anything else is wasting your money. A close friend of mine got a 196 with 0 time studying. The bar is so low to pass, I wouldn't even stress over it. How to be competitive? high step 2 score, research in chosen field, great LOR, and a phenomenal audition somewhere, that is it nothing else to it.
I spent too much time looking for videos about USMLE step 1 and 2CK , but i could not This video is something else , it is the best video i have ever seen!!! I found answers to most of the questions in my mind the 22 min passed like 2 min I want to congratulate and thank u for this One more question: What do u think is the good score for Step 2CK now ,after step 1 became pass/fail?? and is long time since graduation affects the matching chance even if i has been practicing medicine as a resident since then??
It varies based on what speciality and what program. Generally> 250 is considered good. Yes it does but if you were doing medicine related stuff, it is not negative, but again varies based on the program
Hello Dr Assad. Im subscribing to UWorld for 6 months starting next week. Im currently finishing med school as an IMG and would like to know if I should 1 or 2 blocks a day. Im planning on taking the exam December 2022.
Great video, I’m planning to take step 1 in next year July. I completed form 186 process 3 months ago. Now what’s the ideal time to apply for step 1 exam and for form 183? When should I have to do these 2 things?
Bro get good step 2 scores, US clinical experience(electives) and try publishing research papers or atleast partner in them and in a well known indexed journal. Builf ur CV! Also most IMGs get internal medicine.
@@Nico.Robin7 yes it is harder for imgs generally to get into any speciality. However, if you are good you will make it anywhere. Do clinical research in ur dream specialty somehow use contacts and visit the us for good clinical electives atleast 3 times!
The trend nowadays is now forming better doctor researchers, not clinicians. Some of the best doctors I know from different countries don't do a lot of research because they're busy with actual patients. Also explains why IMGs are far far rarer in competitive specialties.
a greatly useful video! Thank you so much doctor, will syrian universities still be accredited by 2024? and if not do you recommend not wasting time on this whole usmle thing? Thank you again
I am struggling with work / study because I am aware that it is a long process, but I feel like I am not moving forward. I wonder what is the employment situation of people who like me need to study for the steps…
Thanks for the great video ! Very informative as usual. For the 2023 match, how will program directors judge applicants if they’ll be receiving USMLE step 1 numerical scores & p/f ? Are the applicants with p/f results at a disadvantage for 2023 match ?
Hi, Dr. Asaad; first great video!. I do have two questions; the first time, should we do UW on random mode or by subject, second after that round while studying FA, you did not mention if is better or not to continue doing questions? Thanks!
Could u plz have an interview with a female surgeon? I haven't seen any female surgeon discussing about her professional life. It would be a great motivation for surgery aspirants.
Great video. I have a question. No doubt that uw explanations are great but there are about 3600 qs and so as I move on, I just keep forgetting the previous stuff no matter how well I understand it while doing it. Any solution for that?
thank you very much doctor for this brilliant explanation. However I have a small question for you. DO you think that the US pathway can be taken by SYRIAN doctors who have graduated lately these days from damascus university? and can we be accepted for residency?
Many students say that there are many similar topics in STEP 1 and 2. So would you suggest to study as much hard as possible to master the STEP 1 topics , to make it easier to study for step 2 and getting a higher score ?
Hi Dr. Asaad, I have a quick question: Do you recommend including Sketchy Micro in the prep for the step 1 pass/fail exam? Although its not in your video, I feel like microbiology is a chapter that is hard to retain when reviewing the information as it is presented in first aid (lots of charts, few logical connections between pieces of information etc.) I am currently doing rotations, plan to take the exam in 6 months with around 3h of studying monday through saturday and just finished pathoma. Thanks a lot!
I’m not Dr Assad (obviously 🤦🏽♀️ lol) but Im Currently doing micro and my lecturer highly recommended sketchy. To be honest the videos are so helpful and I have not found anything as good as sketchy
Hello doctor malke Asaad, i want to know is having research experience or research paper published mandatory for matching into any residency like even is it mandatory for less compititive residency like family medicine,internal medicine....
Thank you Dr Asaad. You are help to so many students around the world creating the Best channel for IMGs. Keep going to share yours and others’ experience providing valuable information. PS. I haven’t gave a comment to any RUclips vides so far but your videos make me to change my mind, and you deserve to praise bro! 👍
Dr does the number research papers matter or the content itself meaning is it a matter of quantity or quality? And in your opinion what is the average number for competitive specialities as neurosurgery?
does it affect the portfolio to get surgery residency if you have to retake step1 exam if YOG,research and other things are impressive?? please enlighten Doctor
Hello Dr malke asaad as usual great content...I have 2 questions if you can clarify..I took step 1 before pass/fail and am awaiting my score..I plan to take step 2 ck in 2022 and apply for match in 2023.. 1) will my usmle transcript contain step 1 score or just pass/fail? 2) if I get a good step 1 score will I have any leverage over others who took exam after it became pass/fail in my residency application.. In other words will my score be regarded or ignored completely?? Thanks in advance
1. You will get a score on your transcript as you took the exam before Jan 25th 2022. 2. Yes, you are at an advantage compared to applicants with p/f IF you have a very good score.

Thanks for the video! Is P/F step 1 in general a disadvantage for competitive surgical specialties for IMGs, or it doesn’t matter?
Disadvantage for IMGs I’m afraid bc you’ll need to excel in other aspects of the application to distinguish yourself

Thanks!
i studied long time but i was stuck in assessment score 166 then I went for exam I failed.
Do you guys recommend the Kaplan lecture as a valuable resource for preparation for Step 1?
Could u plz have an interview with a female surgeon? I haven't seen any female surgeon discussing about her professional life. It would be a great motivation for surgery aspirants.
I already have one
One of best videos ever ❤️🇸🇾❤️
If l can't pay uw online, what I can do for this problem?
such an amazingly thorough video!!! thank you so much!
Thank you for the video! Will med school grades and MSPE matter more with step 1 being pass/fail, specially for competitive specialities?
I don't think so
They will have to use something instead of step1 scores, but nobody knows that will be yet. We will have to wait and see.
I have very weak medical knowledge because I studied basic sciences 15 years ago
What should I do?
How about amboss instead of uworld ?
How to start tell me books for USMLE 1
What about BNB ? Should I use it as step 1 resource or not
Thank you so much doctor 🌷

Please can you tell us if we need to see boards and beyond vedios when studying first aid since they take alot of time or we can just study the book .
not necessarily
So if i do really really well in step 1 and pass, i will still be equivalent to someone who barely passed, because our scores will not be noted???
