Thank you so much for creating such a helpful and resourceful video. I recently subscribed to your channel as I am a student in the Family Nurse Practitioner program. I wanted to gain a better understanding of medicine and become a knowledgeable provider. However, I felt like my current program did not offer enough resources/advices. After reading various forums and seeking advice, I decided to study USMLE 1 and 2. I believe this will not only help me with my FNP board exam but also make me a better provider for my patients. While searching for tips on how to study for these exams, I came across your video and I cannot express my gratitude enough for the useful suggestions and advice you provided. Thank you so much for offering such valuable resources to aspiring healthcare professionals.

[@nikki965]

Hi Manik! Have been following you for almost 2 years now. I'm planning to finally give USMLE after considering all other pathways, weighing the pros and cons. So yeahh, here I'm about to enter my internship in one of the busiest hospitals in India, Madras Medical College. I'm planning to give my step 1 during internship, so I just hope I study well so that my other steps goes well too. Thank you! You are a really good motivation for me!

[@tulsimehta5738]

Hi. Is it possible to to study and give step1 in Internship if someone has never studied for step1 ?

[@Rajeshkumar-er7uv]

@@tulsimehta5738 I think its better to give after internship. we have one chance use it well. but u can prepare in the internship.

[@khushimehta8641]

Hey, I am very confused right now and i am in the "weighing pros and cons" phase, I really wish to know how you came to this conclusion.. help me please!

[@Rajeshkumar-er7uv]

@@khushimehta8641 I started studying step 1 in my 2nd yr (im entering intenrship in a month) and it was on and off. step 1 many questions come from concept of medicine as i saw after solving qbanks. i think its better to give after studying ur final yr subjects. so after internship is the ideal time after final yr. but prepare in the internship maximum.

[@youkomei5139]

It's great that now there are informative strategies available on KZbin, not only for Step 1 but also for various exams. Back in my time, I focused on memorizing First Aid, going through it three times, and creating notes to aim for a high score. If I had access to videos like these, I believe I could have planned my preparation more efficiently. However, in my case as a Japanese student, I struggled a lot with CS, although I think it's no longer a requirement now.

Can I start this from day 1 of medical school? I know you said that first aid may be a bit too advanced if you don’t have the basics, but as someone whose main goal is to go to the US would it be a good idea to use the kaplan books as I go along my medical school coursework, and then finally move to first aid? As I said, I’m already set on going to the US and I wanna make sure that my test prep goes as smoothly as possibly so I’m trying to find an effective way of building the basics before moving to dedicated preparation. Starting medical school in a few months.

What do you think of doing for example a section of first aid with bootcamp or BNB. And then when you finish that section, on usmlerx you can select specific sections of a subject and do board styles questions on that specific topic. Would you recommend to use usmlerx like that, or first finish first aid with BnB, and then do questions on usmlerx

Hi Manik, you are such a good inspiration, Thank you ❤️

Thanks Dr manik ...just two questions, First Should I study pathoma and sketchy along with FA and BnB or after ? Secondly, since USMLE Rx is divided by chapters rather than systemic , is the best way to study it is by finishing a whole chapter in FA and BnB then heading to study the same chapter in USMLE Rx or there's another way ? Thanx again 🙏

Hey Manik, What's up, my man? My name is Mubarik, and I'm on the USMLE journey from Ghana. I gotta say, your KZbin channel has been a lifesaver for me! Your story and insights have inspired me so much, and I'm really grateful for all that you do. So, I was watching one of your videos the other day, and you mentioned the TZANKI deck for Step 1. Bro, you got me curious! I mean, if this deck can help me crush the USMLE Step 1, then I'm all in. But here's the thing, I have no clue how to get it! Can you hook a brother up? I know you're a busy man, but if you have a minute, could you give me some guidance on how to get the TZANKI deck? I'd really appreciate it, man. Thanks for reading my email, and keep up the awesome work! Best regards, Mubarik P.S. If you're ever in Ghana, let me know. I'll treat you to some delicious jollof rice and spicy chicken!

[@manikmadaan]

sure, you can do it chapter wise, however it's hard to keep up with the questions and chapters simultaneously. I personally did not do them simultaneously to stimulate active recall.
