Wow Alf Mabrouk Assem! I am a US MD taking Step 2 in 3 weeks and this video was a helpful look into how to get a fantastic score. You will make a great physician inshAllah!
@@alrefaeiMDHi, Dr.Refaei I have one doubt about matching a program in US , every body of IMG residents are saying as I had matched IM, IM n IM n no one said as get Surgery. So why pls describe n can you make a vedio on this pls. Any how congratulations you, for got residency
I’ve recently passed my step 1, and I was looking for some overall guide for step 2. I’ve watched many videos and I must say, this is the best one. MashAllah great score. I am instantly so inspired by your humbleness. IA you’re going to be a great physician. May Allah be with you.
i am imagining when he will watch this video years later on…dont overthink then believe me this is so natural and amazing video plus ur english accent is awesome man👌🏻 MashaAllah congratulations 🎉
I took many years studying for step 1 and 2 because of the kids and so many responsibilities/ job and my illness It was insane journey but I will never give up ❤
MashaAllah congratulations Doctor!! Amazing achievement. May Allah grant you more amazing successes and achievements and make you an aid to humanity. I’m really interested to know your NBME assessment scores because my exam is very very soon and I want to see if it’s possible to get a similar score.
Congrats man 🎉 I love how articulate and thoughtful you are! Could you please give us an idea about your background before step 2 prep? Your basic science foundation, med school performance and step 1 prep.. Thanks for this amazing video!
Thank you! Sure thing! I was good at medical school and left with a solid background on topics. I think this helped me begin with 2 blocks and that’s why I mentioned finding your own pace. I did not do Step1 yet!
Some curiosity. Such a good score absolutely reflect a good background medical knowledge in you school. Any one can do uworld and some flash card but starting point is much variable during your learning that will affect the required resources bypass many resources having a strong basic and also shortens your preparation making it couple months to get such as brilliant score in average 6 months
@@alrefaeiMD yes more on this point, pls, so for someone with relatively weak foundations or a couple years out of graduating should prepare differently? ie should build foundations first like watch videos Boards and Beyond or learn the information first or alongside Uworld & Anki? Thanks for your help!
Congratulations 👏🏼 🎉 ♥️ ماشاء الله اللهم بارك...هذا خبر مفرح وسعيد وخر لنا كعرب ومسلمين ربنا يوفقك وينفع بك ويديم عليك التوفيق ويزيدك من فضله🩵😍❤️وعقبالنا يارب-طالب طب السنة الرابعة
Congratulations Dr. Assem on a great score! And thanks for making such a detailed video on what helped you achieve it Had read in the comments somewhere that you are yet to take your STEP 1. Is it ok to take STEP 2 first? Thanks a lot
Thank you for your kind words. Yes it is ok to take Step2 before. In my most recent video (My USMLE Step1 experience), I discussed the topic in detail.
Mashallah Assem, amazing score! Thank you for the tips. Just wanted to ask you what was your main source of studying the content. Besides making your own anki cards, were you studying the systems from Anking? Or did you only solve questions and study their explanations?
Thank you for asking. UW is the main source of learning. There is not a piece of information in your exam that would not be present somewhere in UW. Just focus on it and do not overcomplicate yourself with resources.
Hey, congratulations on the exceptional score! I heard the ethics section has gotten a lot tougher recently, was ethics in the final exam doable with Uworld alone?
It was hard. Not UW-alike, but I argue that you should not over-prepare because I do not think that helps either. Repeat ethics from UW in your last week
Alf Mabrook Dr Assem MashAllah that is a great score :) . Wish you all the best on your journey to the US. So you don't advise making Anki cards from the first read?
First of all congratulations on your GOAT score!!! I want to have a opinion from your side, Ill be giving my real deal in a few months. And plz response to this comment kindly. I have made a anki deck that has summarized uworld qs on front and explanations on back. almost 4500 cards. After my first pass im doing it for 2.5 months, 60 anki has been completed and im doing it system wise. Havent given a assessment yet. What I want to ask is that i keep on forgetting tables and explanations from topics I have read a month back. How should I approach my third read after finishing anki (almost a second pass of uworld). Thanks alot!!!!
Hi there, Thank you for your words. This is really fantastic. You are doing a great job. Continue what you are doing and start doing assessments. You will not remember everything even after a month so the goal is not to memorize everything. See how your assessment works and fill the deficits after.
Congratulation mashaaalah. Can you tell you resources for proration for us lie step1. And also resources in each subject during preparation of medical school that you you recommended to build strong basis videos books platforms question resources. We wait for you to matching inshaallah الف مبروك يا دكتور مشرف العرب ما شاء الله
Congratulations, Asem! What an incredible score and fantastic advice. If I may ask, how important is the first-round percentage? Does it matter significantly? For someone who recently started using UWorld and hasn't done any other question banks like AMBOSS for Step 2, is it normal to have fluctuating and sometimes low block scores?
Hi there! Thank you for your words. I can't recall my first-round percentage that well. I do not think it is important, you should expect yourself to make mistakes but put an effort in learning from them. After that, all of your scores matter.
@@alrefaeiMD Oh, ok, I got it. If I may also ask, on average, how long does a block take you to finish? And what is your strategy for doing so? Like, do you do the whole block in one setting, solving and studying? Thank you again for your efforts.
@@lightrain6211 I think it might have taken me 3 hours during my first read. I would answer a question and study its explanation immediately. In the other reads, it was within one hour to align with the exam structure.
Congratulations Dr. Which anki cards would you recommend? How many cards did you have in total? Also what nbmes and cms forms do you recommend going through, and how many passes for each? Thanks
Congratulations! That’s an amazing score 🎉 Just had a question- on UWorld, there are 2 parts- shelf review questions and the CK review questions, each having around 4000 questions , both together would be over 8000 questions right? Did you do all 8000 questions? Were they helpful?
Congratulations! 🎉Thank you so much for such a helpful video! 🙏🏼How did you time your self-assessments when your exam got pushed back? Did you repeat them?
Thank you for your words! I did not repeat any assessments. I had made anki cards for the mistakes I made and these were repeated frequently before my exam. I made a video of anki, I think it might be helpful!
الف مبروم يا دكتور ما شاء الله علي اصرارك وعزيمتك عندي طلب ممكن توضح طريقة عمل انكي كارد للاسئلة اللي بتحلي غلط اشكرك علي الفيديو فادني كتير مع اني لسه بدرس ستيب ١
All my congraduations Doctor ! Thank you a lot for all the sharing! Questions for you, Doctor: how much time/hours did you spend on anki? and how many cards/day? if the number of review cards exceeds like 700, should i suspend the old one? how did you use uworld (timed, tutorial ect, multiple subjects)? what is the ideal time to spend on the preparation of step 1 ?
Thank you! So i spent maybe 2 hours per day on Anki, the number of cards varied. On most days I didn’t achieve the perfect zero. I never suspended old cards. My uworld was always in tutored mode. And there is no ideal time for everyone, it really depends on your baseline knowledge and current situation.
Congratulations on your amazing score! Thank you for the honest video. What is the best way to go through UWorld 3-4 times? Did you go through incorrects or marked questions since there is only one reset option? What do you think is the best approach? Also, do you have any suggestions for using UWorld during shelf exams, which I need to do subject-wise as well?
Thank you for your comment! I went through every question up to the second read. After that, it was really mixed but definitely passed over all incorrects. This is the approach I suggest. Lastly, always do UW subject-wise.
Hello, its absolutely new to hear someone repeating UW 3-4 times. Would you mind sharing how didnyou make notes out of it ? And how did you revise them regularly ?
الف مبروووك يا دكتور انا في سنه تانيه طب حاليا ، طلع الي الفيديو بتاع حضرتك بجد ملهم جدااا ليا ❤❤ مفسي لما اكبر احقق الإنجاز ده تنصحني في ايه في فتره الجامعه ؟
شكرا على كلماتك اللطيفة، موضوع طويل جداً، بوعدك أعمل شيء مفصل أكثر لكن استثمار الوقت، اختيار صحبة حسنة، وتقليل دور الهاتف ووسائل التواصل الإجتماعي بحياتك.
Hello Asem, I hope you're doing well. I have another question for you! 😊 I recently started preparing for Step 2 and began using UWorld from scratch, and I just can't retain information without using Anki. I've tried both a pre-made deck and creating my own deck (focusing on my wrong answers and things I don't know). I found making my own cards to be more effective, but it takes more time. Do you recommend continuing with this approach? Is it sustainable in the long term, or should I stick to the pre-made decks? Thank you so much Asem
Hi, Great question and study approach. You should try to not make Anki kill your UW time. Try using pre-made decks to get material on your mistakes. Like you made a mistake on tularemia, search it in the browse feature of anki, and transfer it from the pre-made deck to yours. I will published a detailed video tomorrow on my anki use.
@@alrefaeiMD Got it, that makes sense. Using the search and unsuspend method sounds like a smart move. One last question for the next video. Which deck would you recommend: Janki, Tzanki, Ankingv11, or Anking V12? Thanks a lot for your effort. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next video.
hello Dr Assem; i am a British IMG and have recently decided to ditch the PLABs to pursue the USMLE path for my medical career. I just took the step 1 and passed, currently going over my step 2 readthrough. I wanted to ask you if you think that only using u world is enough to get a 260+ or do I have to use another resource to get a high mark? I should also mention that I use U world extremely religiously and I go over the right and wrong answers very well.
Hello! Thank you for the great advice. I have a question and a request. My question is how important is the knowledge you gain from step 1 and how much does it contribute to your score on step 2? since step 1 is pass/fail, I am struggling to plan the right amount of time and the amount of attention to detail I should give it. Should I take step 1 as soon as I am able to pass or should I make sure I can score a high grade in step 1 before moving on to step 2 if I want a high score for step 2? My request is - could you please make a video on how to start with research from scratch? for a person who has never done any research or who knows nothing about it and doesn't know where to start. Thank you in advance Assem!
Hi there! I actually did not do step1 and was warned by many that this will be detrimental to my Step2, and it was not. You do not need either one to do the other. It would make some parts of your experience easier but it is not necessary. It depends on your situation and current stage. If you are an early year medical student you might focus on getting rid of Step1 first, while if you had an already good clinical exposure, Step2 might be your most reasonable target. I will also be posting more content on research soon. It is completely for beginners so tune in!
Congrats Doc! Anking consists of STEP1 Deck and STEP2 Deck, which one did you do? If you did STEP 2 Deck, how many total cards did it have? please elaborate...
283 is utter insanity!! Congratulations U will probably have an unbroken record for years to come!!

Question is that is it really hard to do a +260 in step 2 ?
I don’t think it is hard. If you give it sufficient time consistently, you will be able to score it.
