USMLE Step 1: Our Advice

pass/fail step1. Get ready to start browning, boys!

Hi! Thanks a lot for that video! Could you also give an advice for Step 2 ck preparations. What resources have you used?

HI! I started with uworld thinking that I wouldn't have time to go through another question bank but I do have time. Would you recommend Amboss or USMLErx now that I finished uworld?

Two virgins tell other virgins how to stay virgins

Thanks for the informative video! Did you guys ever watch Boards & Beyond? If/if not, what do you think of it? It's been my #1 resources these past few weeks but I noticed you guys never talked about it so now I'm not sure! Thank you!

Thank you so much!! This is really Helpful!

Just wondering - any particular reason why you guys took the NBMEs in this order: 19, 18, 17?

I'm gonna come back in the future to edit this comment because I'm going for that 270+! Thanks alot for posting this video, it's what I needed coming at the right time!

How old are you guys?

272 step god

Would appreciate a similar video for Step 2 once you guys are able to come across that!

I am going to model this. About to wrap up sketchy and ESCALATE THE QBANKS !

100th percentile omg!

Studying with a partner helped me alot ^_^

Bless you both, gonna try my best and learn from your experiences.

Dan and Arjun, Congratulation guys ! Keep it up guys ! Show your awesomeness in step 2 CK too. All the Best !
Dan and Arjun, Can I know your UW first pass average if possible...

By the way, a guy this year 2020 from Jordan 🇯🇴 got 277!! I do know it may be scaled the scores, but that is still impressive!!

Congrats on the great scores!! You guys mentioned doing 2 simultaenous Q-banks at the beginning of M2 (1 random and one along with your curriculum), I'd like to do this as well and wanted to know if you would recommend sticking with Rx and kaplan as you did or not? I currently own (have not started) Rx and AMBOSS, but, as you mentioned, AMBOSS is more difficult. Would it be better to forgo AMBOSS esp while I'm still learning or would that be an okay resource for this?

If ur a genius masochist learn from the red guy.. if ur a smart hardworker learn from the tan one.. if ur average quit the video for ur own sake

Are you going to make a similar video for step 2 ck?

Did you guys just go for the pass for in house stuff or were you scoring well on in house stuff too?

Costanzo Physiology is great. But, for neurophysio, there's less in Costanzo I guess.

When you mentioned Costanzo, Did you mean the physiology book or BRS physiology ?!!!

Did you only use sketchy for pharm and micro ..... Did you use other resources for those

Hi Idk if you still reply to comments but I have a questions regarding Costanzo Physiology. There are two versions of this book, a bigger one and smaller one. Idk which one to get. I have approximately an year to prepare for step. Which one did you use and which one do you think should use?

Great video. Thank you both so much . Is there any text for Anatomy and Pharmac ; like Costanzo for Physiology

What learning resources did Daniel use for topics not covered in Costanzo? For example, immunology. Thank you

Hi. Can you comment on how did you study for anatomy?

Any advice for studying pathology? I use pathoma, but seem to have a difficult time with all the path images for each disorder, but perhaps this will just take time with repeated exposure to the imaging. I am curious if you have any tips? Thank you!

If you’re trying to find a way to go about the test and prepare for it, go with the guy on the rights advice. The guy on the left is insane and should not be anyone’s target. You’ll be left thinking you’re an idiot if you try and match him
The guy on the right did very very well and is much more realistic progress. He still had a very hard reach score but following his advice will get your 240+

Thank you guys for this video. I’m currently preparing for USMLE-1 . I was so relieved and motivated by your advice since I could not force myself passively read first aid and memorise, could retain information by doing questions only and do not want to do anki either. Problem is I already finished uworld 2 pass in the beginning and starting other banks . So should I do other banks now and go repeat uworld questions before exam? Saving uworld assessments for last month. Thanks ahead.

thank you guys!! did you used Costanzo's book during dedicated?

hey Dan, i’ll take step 1 when it’s pass/fail (2022) i’m planning to approach it the same way you guys did, do you think that having a hard base from step 1 helps in achieving a high score in step 2 ck? thanks a lot!

The best video ever about USMLE step 1 exam
Thank you very much

Wow

You guys are a blessing. Thank you very much!!!

This was really helpful thanks

The ginger doctor is so handsome, smart and handsome, you wife will be the luckiest one !

perfect

Hi Dan! Can you reupload your video to studying for Step 2? I’m starting medical school in August and remembered that video to be very insightful. I only know about it because I used your videos for the MCAT, which was also gold. Thank you so much!

How do you study for 8 hours a day with uni? Did you skip class?

why is the cross not on the thumbnail?

please do not ever take down this video. this has changed my study methods and quite honestly my life for that matter.
im part of the pass fail cohort and did amboss and uworld completely and all the nbmes and am really grateful for your advice.
through the prep i could do other things and still hang out with friends thanks to you
