Great video ! It included ⬇️ Phase 1 - pathoma kaplan etc , dont take notes Phase 2 - FA, Uworld etc ( dont note down things uworld to FA in the beginning ) ( use a pencil to mark FA initially , colors in later time ) (Dont simple write notes from FA in a notebook) NOTES from Uworld - 1. Create electronic version of notes / put it in “notebook” in uworld itself ( filter the important info only ) 2. Flashcards ( it enhances recalling / retrieving) 3. Highlights/ bolding important info 4. Tag only important questions from your QBank 5. If you write notes , make sure they are only 10-15 pages covering whole syllabus

Sitting for STEP 2 soon. Hate taking notes, because once I start, I tend to overdo it and make reviews tedious. Will incorporate your strategies. Great video as always Malke! 👍

Thanks Dr Assad for your input and insight on taking notes

[@eralp2685]

Thanks for the information. I will try some note taking at my finals

[@flightdoc9087]

I also watched Santiago's video regarding notes. As per your definition, purpose for notes is to "narrow amt. of info to review after 1st round (of qbank)".. Santiago didn't forgo this process altogether - just that he went about it differently, stating that he uses the flagging process to segregate the content he intended to revisit.. in a sense, storing as "notes" (since the vignettes and explanations also serve as defacto notes). Just my observation.. Both of you have great content, thanks for sharing with the community.

[@flightdoc9087]

Okay it was addressed in video, sorry haha

Your video is productive regardo US MLE preparations..you have mentioned very helpful methods along with the sources such as uworld and first aid..also note taking techniques are really useful..for being clear of how to take notes either lengthy or concise can you share few of yours notes and flash cards as an example for us ..that would be definitely very much helpful for us..

[@MalkeAsaad]

Thank you. I will

[@Gabenraven]

As someone who got tutoring from Dr. Asaad I can safely say that what he is saying here is 100 percent true. After our tutoring sessions my grades shot up dramatically and I started doing a lot better in terms of retention and grades on my uWorld blocks! Thanks for the awesome content Dr!

[@MalkeAsaad]

When you seem the same information appearing multiple times in multiple resources

[@rama-cy2ei]

do you have to do the usmle step 3, step 2 ck and step 2 cs before applying to the matching or can you do them later ?

[@justinjohn3590]

How long did u take to do first aid more than once :0 ? AND how long in general did the prep take u ?

[@heshambakir491]

Is there any video for flashcards?

How are research experiences measured in NRMP match data AND Eras. What does meam for example if a person has 3.5 research experiences

[@MalkeAsaad]

It reflects the number of activities they listed in the research experiences part of their ERAS CV

[@lichh64]

He may have not taken notes but he definitely had other similar ways of referring to info later. What people miss is how to take the notes.
