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.

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

So you during the first round do you do ALL the questions in Uworld in its entirety and annotate? So at 80q's per day, that should take 4 weeks... for each round...if there is around 3200 questions. When annotating do you write down all the things you didn't know in the explanation or just focus on what you got wrong? and then for the 2nd round you completely avoid any annotation but make flashcards...did i understand that correctly? Can I apply this strategy for step 2?

@saptarshibajpai4 жыл бұрын
Use step 1 study resources to study for your 2nd yr med school, use sketchy for micro, start watching general path on B&B, move to systems eventually, do a lil bit of pharmac everyday (start with drug clarifications and move into details of each once your comfortable, this can take some time, but don't get worried, happens w all of us). Buy FA and then reinforce and annotate all the aforementioned info in your FA.Once you've finished evrything once you'll have better idea of your strong areas vs weak areas. Now you can start doing Uworld (timed mode). After UW first pass, start your dedicated step 1 study period (this would depend on you, could be end of 2nd yr, could be later). Follow this strategy and you'll kill it!
