The USMLE exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed step 1after studying with so many materials😞

Sometimes doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success

[@RaymondBedford-gh2zb]

@ very correct

[@RaymondBedford-gh2zb]

I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the STEP 1 last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard

[@KenanGrace-wx5hw]

Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated 🥺

[@RuthRay-mj2kj]

Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info

[@pranatigudipati9646]

[@medreigns1696]

I feel like reading entire FA takes a lot of your time

[@chebureysam150]

Thanks a lot

[@abdulrsyed]

Happy to help :)

[@atchayad842]

Most relatable and detailed video. Thank you so much. Should i start with uworld on day 1, make it my primary resource ?

[@abdulrsyed]

That’s what I would do honestly

[@lichh64]

Thank you

[@abdulrsyed]

You're welcome

[@Sams5184]

Can you say how and from where to start and what are the sources to follow as I’m starting to prepare for usmle . Just I completed my first year I think this will be the right time to start preparing And pls make a video on how to prepare for usmle syllabus resources everything related to step 1 As I’m completely new to usmle hoping you will reply me as soon as possible Thankyou so much for this informative video

[@ananananana627]

Btw amazing video thank you

[@abdulrsyed]

Thank you! Best of luck on your exam 🤗

[@alih6953]

I have USMLE and COMLEX in 2 months gonna Ace both like ACE inhibitors lol Thanks for the video

[@itseb22]

ik its been a year but how did it go?

[@ananananana627]

Any tips for biostats, Ive been skipping every question but I feel like I wont be able to run away from it forever >_

[@abdulrsyed]

Do an isolated block on it, on uworld! Like only do biostats questions for at least one or a couple blocks if you can. It’s tedious and draining but you’ll get the hang of it. Also watch dirty medicine’s tips on sensitivity + specificity

[@medreigns1696]

Do you think you should read entire Firs Aid? Or just reading rapid review section+uworld +dirty medicine works well?

[@abdulrsyed]

I would read parts of it as needed. Definitely first go through the rapid review section + dirty medicine then see how you do on uworld. I also recommend just doing uworld ethics questions and biostats question separately, and once you master them go ahead and do the blocks in random mode you'll save yourself a lot of headache. But yeah, you just want to make sure you get the stuff that comes up constantly out of the way then you can focus on the harder parts

[@ranaali1391]

Where can I find the rapid review section plz haven’t heard about it before

[@abdulrsyed]

@@ranaali1391 check the last chapter of FA

[@medreigns1696]

[@mariaqadeer3724]

This august thing is for everyone? Or it is just for med students. Wht is special about?

[@abdulrsyed]

Just medical students, in their 2nd year if you delay writing the exam until 3rd year you will get trapped

[@drvinayakgupta0578]

I don't know why but my mind thinks that you're looking like vikky Kaushal.😊

[@abdulrsyed]

Hahahah thanks boss
