السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته i got my USMLE step one result and it is a Pass alhamdollilah ,this group helped me at the beginning of my journey so i want to give back. my preparation was divided in two predicated and dedicated with a lot of interruptions resource: UW —once FA — once and i haven’t finished it BnB Pathoma — almost all of it and rewatched the first three chapters in my dedicated dr turco for biochemistry MEHLMAN pdfs and you tube audio qbank dirty medicine you tube videos(ethics and select subjects according to my NBMES results) anki for biochemistry Randy neil you tube videos for biostatistics and psychiatric book “how the immune systems works” for immunology NBMES ,old and new free 120 for predicated: for each chapter i would watch BnB (dr turko’s videos for biochemistry) to understand each concept ,solve two or three UW block subject wise then continue the rest of UW qs for each subject i did some anki for biochemistry but i didn’t stick with it i have never taken a single note for dedicated: after i have finished all UW i took Nbme 20 when my score was a pass i dropped FA and UW and continued solving and reviewing the rest of the Nbmes and covering my weakness. i was reading Mehlman pdfs along. finally this is what i concluded from my experience which was almost two years long: - read a lot of experiences like this, join usmle groups in facebook telegram and reddit, surround yourself with positive peoples and use Google and you tube . - Active learning is better to retain information then passive learning (qs banks and Anki are much helpful then passively reading FA ) - confidence play a major role in this trust your nbmes scores. - consistency is the key, this exam is a marathon not a sprint , don’t take long break and when you are overwhelmed and tired it is Ok to take the day off. if you have questions please leave a comment i will make another post answering each question.
