3 Things People Learn Too Late in Their USMLE Prep

[@mattgroo1820]

“‘As much as you want to be, you’re not a machine”. Such a great point!

[@SC-lx5mq]

Yes! More USMLE content pleaseee

[@FacundoMD]

Great material !

[@samanthapash-brown1473]

Am so so Happy and grateful I finally passed my USMLE exam 🎉🎉 with the help of the channel and Mr Carlos. I wanna say a big thanks to the channel admin for accepting me into the channel. Never give up you will also passed your exam with the help of the channel and Mr Carlos

[@sgantiwala]

What tips do you have for students who will be taking the step 1 next year when it will be pass/fail? It would be great to see some videos of your POV on this!

[@robertb.6649]

Could not agree more with the third one. It's toxic the attitude that some medical doctors have with this journey

[@Gabenraven]

Hey Santiago thank you for these incredible videos man. I'm preparing for STEP at the moment and watching your videos feels like having a friend guiding me through the monster that is step prep haha

[@FacundoMD]

Good stuff !

[@vrepel1212]

Hi Santiago! Can you please share with us a little more about how the “USMLE script” is for each subject? In order to have a more effective approach when studying

[@SN-qt8zk]

You're great. Your videos motivate me even though when it's not always about lessons. Thanks, they help me a lot when I am depressed or distracted.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Thanks for sharing!! Conrad Fischer is being sarcastic he doesn't mean that. I had a friend who took him for classes in Med School in NY where he teaches at in College. He says a lot of things for laughs and shock value that is his style of teaching and how to get the students attention.

[@linaarias1768]

Gracias Santi, ya acabé con mi Step 1, tus videos me ayudaron un montón! Y puedo confirmar la tercera lección hahaha

[@FacundoMD]

Congrats !

[@sanaa4661]

Gosh, this is the only USMLE video that actually makes sense.

[@TBear-ib7pl]

The one dislike is from Conrad Fischer

[@hectorp6885]

Thank you, it is totally true! but we usually learn this very late

[@mercy1526]

Stop it Santiago you scored the highest and you say I wish?lol thank you that’s really helpful video for us who are still struggling 😩I love how you mix your videos intertwining and so helpful 🙏

[@danielcastilo1840]

Gracias Dr , muy buenos consejos 👌 Bendiciones

[@mikaelacamacho9252]

You are absolutely correct !

[@ismailmuhammed3440]

dude i do like you ,GL in whatever you are doing now

[@Carolina-rc2ps]

The last advice was the best! Very wise :)

[@fernandafernandes3658]

USMLE king 🙌🏼 thank you

[@qehremanahmad5047]

I totally agree with all what you said bro 👍🏻❤️

[@youmeandmd0100]

Hey there, tried to reach you on insta but it's off. Anyways, I have 6 months left for step 1. Issue is that I haven't really paid attention in the first couple years of my med school. So my basics are really weak. What should be my approach to get 250+ score in step 1? Would be extremely grateful if you could spare a few minutes of your time.

[@insiazaidi1341]

Much needed. Thank you so much 🙌🏻

[@Bioeliful153]

No digo que tu o el Dr. Conrad Fischer estén mal, simplemente que lo estan viendo de diferente forma. Un graduado americano tiene como 4 semanas de tiempo dedicado para estudiar para el Step 1...y bueno si es 1 mes de estudio, digamos que su consejo no esta tan mal (si suena algo extremo) pero básicamente necesitas todo el tiempo y concentración que puedas. Mientras que un IMG estudia por meses, algunos incluso años (no digo que eso esta bien, solo digo lo que realmente sucede).

[@NUDZZZ]

Insightful as always!!

[@ezatullaha.3502]

Completely agree with u brother, tnx a lot!

[@santhoshithodupunuru3436]

Hi santiago….your videos are really helpful, it literally changed my way of approach to questions. can u please share a video on how to solve a Question and read an explanation in uworld. Thank you

[@renzomoreno9164]

Hola Santiago, tenía una pregunta sobre la aplicación para el step 1, específcamente acerca de los requisitos para aplicar. Sucede que este año deje la facultad y dentro de los requisitos del www.usmle.org/pdfs/bulletin/2020bulletin.pdf menciona que debo estar oficialmente "enrrolado" en una universidad listada por World Directory of Medical Schools (mi U si está en la lista). Siendo este el caso, aún podría aplicar? Espero puedas contestar mi inquietud. Gracias por los videos que haces y continúa haciendolos!!!!!

[@sofiabrand2959]

Please make more USMLE videos

[@joseperez-wk7vp]

Gracias Santiago, Tengo pensado presentar el step 1 en septiembre. He leido que muchas personas al inicio de la prueba no saltan los primeros 15 minutos de introduccion, en ese tiempo escriben las formulas de estadistica y de esa manera ahorran tiempo cuando aparezca una pregunta asi. Que te parece esa tecnica?

[@taiyabali4751]

What resource is better for immunology and pharmacology during consolidation phase? Like i know i lack in these 2 subjects. Should i use bnb or kaplan?

[@abhishekjangra21]

Can you make a video describing USMLE It's eligibility criteria,fees for exam, syllabus Etc. As you are not from USA as well U can make us understand better 😊😃

[@reminemi1153]

Good analysis Santiago! Which are the 4 substances u think are most HY out of all substance abuse disorders ?

[@manjurai3000]

You are a great motivator Santiago👍. What is the minimum number of questions answered correctly to get a safe score in step 1?

[@burns1606]

Great advice, thank you 🙏

[@drReetHooda]

Your tips were really useful 👌🏻👌🏻

[@thechad7098]

Santiago AQ can you make a video on a USMLE TIME TABLE SCHEDULE

[@shreyachowdary5769]

Hey I’m a third year Indian IMG..your videos are amazing🤩✌🏻 Also under the resources which you have mentioned,how do we look up for review articles in particular?? Or should we just google search depending upon the case report we need??

[@taiyabali4751]

what qbank is best to use during the consolidation phase when you are solidifying your concepts. I want to make sure I am actually learning the concepts right, so I need to know what qbank to use during that before I go to uworld and nbme? or should i start uworld very early on? would love your opinion on it, thanks.

[@shrutisharma3224]

Hi Santiago, hope you are doing well! Could you please do a all high yield topics in first aid for USMLE Step 1 exam video, which are recurrent and almost asked all time in the exam.

[@Indigoeagle21]

He already has a video on this. Look it up om his channel.

[@shrutisharma3224]

@@Indigoeagle21 Alrighty, thanks!

[@luilo4445]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This means A LOT!!!

[@miguelmoreta776]

Hey man, i love your videos. Could you please share your tips on learning microbiology and pharmacology for the USMLE STEP 1 exam? Would be super appreciated.

[@doc.zaid949]

Love this video ❤️

[@snickerbars4129]

Everyone knows how to study, but what to study is the most issues. If you could help with what to learn, make videos on what to read. It will be helpful.

[@imasuperkoala]

Hola Santiago, excelente video como todos los que subes. Tengo una duda, evidentemente siempre te encuentras con preguntas que nunca antes viste o con material nunca antes estudiado, pero en caso de preguntas sobre ética, como haces el approach en esas preguntas? Es una duda que la tengo en mi cabeza y mi step 2 CK ya se acerca entonces si me podrías dar un consejo específicamente en ese campo te lo agradecería bastante

[@billwang4928]

Hi Santiago, just found this channel and it's really helpful , yet the question is after next year reform of Step 1 into PASS/FAIL, to what extent will that influence the matching process? really looking forward to your insight~~much obliged

[@sanjibkoirala5055]

Fantastic. Your vdoz are always awesome!!!

[@maitrimehta3078]

Can you make a video showing what kind of flashcards you made?

[@vinuprasad1197]

Santiago last 1 min excellent bro...I love your thoughts

[@nimrafarid2437]

Hey sr hope u r doing well Wanna ask about how a fourth year med student is going to nail usmle step 1 while she is already studing and focusing on med school I mean how she could start prep and what would be the strategies to start it ..???

[@Laura-zy8ic]

Does somebody know if my ECFMG ID can expire in a certain period of time or something like that? I am asking this because i want to get my ECFMG ID this year, but i'm going to do the Step 1 in 3 years and I don't want to lose the money of the ID in case it has an expiration date.

[@thecovering]

So how do we find out what's definitively in the "script"?

[@SantiagoAQ]

In my experience, the question banks (UW and AMBOSS in particular) are a great reflection of the script. The NBMEs are also great snippets of the script

[@thecovering]

@@SantiagoAQ so like you talked about in an earlier video about studying out of the question banks is essentially studying the script as opposed to listening to hours of lectures right? it really is a totally different beast where we should work backwards from the questions...

[@SantiagoAQ]

Exactly, if you think about it, is almost as if we have the outline of the exam already available for us. Sure, it won’t be the exact copy of the real deal, but damn it gets close.

[@vrepel1212]

@@SantiagoAQ If I’m just starting to study, would yo recommend starting to use UWorld simultaneously immediately?

[@SantiagoAQ]

It really depends on how much time you have. If you’re in your last 3-6 months I would start UWORLD right away. If you’re more then 6 months away building up your knowledge from other qbanks would greatly help to start UW and absorb the tiny details

[@thechad7098]

Bro you are a hero

[@zinebtazi6357]

Hi do you think that for someone who wants to start preparing for step 1 during medschool doesn’t have to use first aid ? And which resources should he use ?

[@ninoskarossel2219]

Craack, thanks! :)

[@sparklinginnovia8425]

Don't tell me how to study. Tell me why are you so cute Santiago? How? Why? 🙂 You don't need to study. Just show your face in the interview and boom you are in!

[@abdulm8899]

Hey Santiago, what's your take on pre-made decks?

[@shihabchaer9030]

I have 6 moths to do my USMLE step 1 exam...are they enough ?

But the thing is you have to go through the mistakes to learn these 3 things.....

Hi It'll be of great help if u could tell.when to start with registration process for IMG students for usmle

Ya cogiste STEP3 ?

[@FacundoMD]

Great video !!!!! As always ! Agree jaja

[@mikejank5106]

Take a shot each time Santiago says balls to the walls

[@journeyofsaul9487]

😂

[@garrettdyess1110]

Does anyone here see similarities between Santiago’s point that students who score the best on the USMLE do not necessarily know the most (but have good strategies) information and the way Organic Chemistry classes are set up? For example, reading an Organic Chemistry textbook doesn’t translate the best to practice problems.

[@almostyourdoc4329]

Awesome

[@Be1smaht]

The question I have for you is how much is too much? For everything.

[@thiegoac]

I totally disagree .
