After taking USMLE last week, this is absolute gold. I was already using some of these techniques but was never 100% intentional. The importance/impact of the tips he gives in this video shouldn’t be underestimated!

[@TheMDJourney]

Thanks for coming back and giving your advice! Best of luck with everything!

[@Baraa.K.Mohammad]

Ok... I gotta be honest! I've literally lost hope in "how to" videos since like a VERY LONG time! but I wanted to give this one a shot... You did two things that absolutely wins the trust of those supposed to be receiving the advice : 1- show that it works... like ACTUALLY show it! 2- explain WHY it works! Dr. Lakshya, thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm not bad at solving questions and my medical knowledge is decent, but I noticed that sometimes I struggle in certain questions where I shouldn't be given what I've said before... Using this simple yet very efficient technique I instantly noticed a HUGH difference! USMLE does actually rely HEAVILY on test taking skills and not only on your knowledge! I can solve so many questions faster and focus on more important clues! As you've explained in the video, you'll start a bit cranky but then you'll get the hang of it! One thing I've noticed is that this works like a charm even for a total newbie when it comes to 1-3 hammers questions (in terms of AMBOSS grading system)... but even for 4-5 hammers, after practice you CAN use it! Thanks again!

Glad this helped you bud! Best of luck :)

Think like the test-maker and look for clues after having read the last line and answer choices first, which induces pattern recognition. Have an 'earning points' mentality; meaning focus on gaining momentum by doing 'answerable' questions first to buy time. Use that momentum to skim through the tricky ones, if you don't get it then repeat the process because coming back to the Qbank you left only makes your understanding of question stem accurate because 'you already know the question' so you are just re-reading it. Narrow down the answers to find suitable ones fitting the presentation, then choose that which fits best in your understanding whilst corresponding to the question stem.

thank you. I noticed all my mistakes here that I made. It was very helpful

[@parulrai6668]

Very underrated video! I took Step 1 a few weeks ago and am still waiting on the results, but it's reassuring to see you spell out a lot of the strategies I implemented too. I hope to incorporate some of them more intentionally into Step 2 prep. Do you think a lot of these apply there as well?

[@drme2399]

[@thiegoac]

1 - On the test day I will be able to highlight ? 2 - I will be able to mark a question and go back to it before finishing the block ? 3 - They will give a blank paper to note something? Awesome video man ! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@TheMDJourney]

Yes to all of these. They usually give you a laminated paper you can write on with a dry erase marker

Yep!

Bronchiectasis is obstructive mate -.-

[@Hellastorytella]

This is a nice strategy but as my mentor used to say… “Your patient won’t have a answer list tattooed on their forehead. Work the case, not the answer list.” 😅

[@bootcampz]

Gotta get licenced first tho. So...

[@Hellastorytella]

@@bootcampz Nothing to do with licenses. Plenty of MDs practicing in the world without licenses. Approach exams with the same mindset you would with practice. On the exam, lives are in your hands, but just on paper. During residency, real lives are in your hand and you do not want to be scrambling to understand why not to give TCAs to a 75 year old with bipolar disorder. Theories and concepts are the same and are what you yourself LEARN while clinical application during residency is what you are TAUGHT.

[@PranayBrajabashi]

Sir is it true that IMG can not work in USA after completing residency or fellowship

[@emilyi771]

Extremely untrue ❤

[@emilyi771]

i am surprised you suggest spending more time on questions you have no clue about...

[@bhoomikaTg-d5r]

Wow this is mind blowing i’m soo impressed with the way he is teaching us to solve the question 👌👌🥹
