    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

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!!!!

    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

    • @alrefaeiMD
      @alrefaeiMD  7 місяців тому +2

      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.

      Thanks a lot for your effort. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next video.

      For Step2, i did not revise neuroanatomy and relied on the information in UW. For Step1, you can rely on the material in the FA book.

    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!

    Hello again doctor Al refaei
    I have a question about my flash cards!
    As you said , i made flash card with my mistakes in my tests... now i 60 days left to my exam and about 3000 flash card! .
    I currently have about an hour and a half a day to review flashcards.
    How can I manage to review all the flashcards I’ve made?
    I’ve fallen behind on all my flashcards, and a lot of daily flashcards remain unread. I can only review the old ones, leaving no time to go through the new ones.
    What should I do?
    .

    • @alrefaeiMD
      @alrefaeiMD  26 днів тому

      This is absolutely fine and 60 days is a very good time. Keep doing what you are doing and you will find it easier to cover new cards with time. You will become efficient and the reviews number will become less.

      Thank you for your words. I did STEP2 deck. It was around 9K to 10K cards.

    • @alrefaeiMD
      @alrefaeiMD  5 місяців тому

      Just UW. I think it is sufficient and if something in the exam is weird you will probably not find it in other resources as well.

  • @smed8545

    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 ?

    • @alrefaeiMD
      @alrefaeiMD  6 місяців тому

      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.

    Was your studying only through uworld? You didn't try studying materials, videos, etc. before jumping into doing blocks?

    • @alrefaeiMD
      @alrefaeiMD  7 місяців тому +2

      Only UWORLD and ANKI. Explanations are enough for the exam. However, if I didn’t understand something or felt a gap, I would google it.
