Feeling so defeated:(i studied hard all week, stayed up until 4 am. Woke up at 7 and worked until 4. Created a practice test with. Did it. Checked my answers. Went back and analyzed what i did wrong. All for Step 1:(i think that i was just so tired by the end of it all that i just wanted to be done. I'm hopeful that i can bounce back but right now I just feel like crying 😢 😭💔💔🤕😓😔💔💔😓
I feel your frustration.The feeling of failing after putting in hours of work is heartbreaking. I go for step 1 2nd attempt next week. I'm scared as hell. But i will not let this test win. I know i am capable 😌 💯 🙂
Frustration is a very positive sign. It means that the solution to your problem is within range, but what you're currently doing isn't working, and you need to change your approach in order to achieve your goal.
How did you do observer-ship during 3rd year? Can you please tell more about research electives or observer ship during medical school before internship?
I think the extension process will work then too. You would have to take the exam (NEXT) in order to graduate according to the Indian Medical system, but I guess you will be able to take it at a later year.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal Okk. Will NEXT 1 be valid until next year if we take break in internship and then take NEXT 2 after a long gap? Please let me know.
Great video, Ma’am I’m a student from India. I’m willing to do elective before step 1 & TOEFL. I have gone through your video which gave me some idea regarding elective & some universities which don’t ask for step 1 & TOEFL. Please let me know when should I have to start applying for elective (how many months prior to the desired date of elective)in these universities which don’t ask / don’t require step 1& TOEFL and will provide LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION? Please suggest me some universities in NYK which don’t require step 1& TOEFL and will provide ‘letters of recommendation’. THANK YOU.
Hi Divya! This was a great video! Im also doing the same thing that you are. Im from the "covid batch" and I extended my graduation to next year. Could you give more insight about rotations/electives in the US perhaps in the coming videos? Thank you!
Hi, im also a IMG and was wondering how you got your observership/clerkship? Did you e-mail different hospitals? How did you find them? What did you e-mail them?
The NRMP survey shows that most applicants have about 1-2 research experiences and 2-3 publications/presentations. According to what I've learnt from speaking to my mentors, Research is important and good to have on your CV. Esp if you are an IMG.
Hi Divya! I love all your videos and I cannot believe that I only found you after I recently gave my step 2. I've binged watched all of them and firstly want to send a heartfelt congratulations. I am so happy for you and this para-social bond I have formed with you makes me feel like you're my sister. You've been an absolute lifesaver. I scored really good marks in step 2 and now I am considering applying to my dream college. I have research and volunteer experience and also a pretty strong CV based on my MBBS and precious academic performances. My concern right now is that my visa processing for applying for observerships might not be approved as the dates are booked completely. Are tele-rotations any good? Also, I am from Nepal and where I live is pretty crowded and the noise outside with the dogs barking and the children screaming is pretty distracting for any voice calls. It wouldn't be an ideal scenario for an interview, for sure. I would also like to ask if you have any suggestions on the mic that I could use to help with my situation? I love the voice quality of your mic and would like to know if it would be preferable in my situation. Thank you, Divya. I cannot thank you enough!! Love, from Nepal.
Its best to get in contact with people who have gone through it and ask them instead of just seeing reviews on their website. Some groups I can vouch for are The Match Guy, Match a Resident, USMLE Sarthi, Brooklyn USCE.
Love your video I'm currently a clinical student in indonesia. I just wanna know, is worth it study in America? Is it worth it to become a doctor in there? I will be extremely happy if you could help me to answer. Because i'm depressed to see my country treating doctors here. i want to move there if its worth the penny Thank you very much
It's never too early to start preparing for the Usmle, but try to enjoy learning medicine, getting used to med school, taking part in extra curriculars etc. Don't fret too much about building your cv/studying for the steps.
Hello Mam I’m doing mbbs in china can you explain the complete process about USMLE from China To USA for ms Is it compulsory to do internship for China Medical Graduates Please Let me know
hey divya, here's a fresh graduate from India..so sadly i didnt get to do either observship or clerkship back when i was studying because for 1) i wasnt really sure about usmle and didnt make attempts to go about it. 2) prolly i was just lazy and procrastinating and enjoying my med school to its best..lol so my question for now, is that a problem when it comes to application, for now ive cleared step 1? like what role do they play?
Thankyou soo much for the detailed video! I wanted to know how much does ICMR project in india matter in the CV. Because a few people have told they don't consider Indian research good.
ICMR is a well know central funded project and it is one of the best research projects you can do as a medical student in India. So it definitely holds value. Once you have an opportunity to do a research project with international affiliations that would be great too. But any research counts.
Hi.. please don't ignore this.. I m a first year government college med student. I eagerly want to apply for USMLE,but heard from somewhere that after 2024 some rules of college verification would be changed,that may prevent me from applying for the exam.. Please do guide me
Uworld is a great resource. Nbme are good mock exams. You'll have to also build you basics which can be done with FA, pathoma, BNB. It's a good idea to do as many questions as you can.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal yeah i have completed fa bandb sketchy pathoma i got 55 percent correct in my first pass of uworld so i wanted to do some other qbank to boost up my confidence

The Usmle steps are very difficult and frustrating to pass, I've always believed usmle is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass
People keep talking about Richard all over UA-cam, he must be a very awesome help.
@Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help.
I don't have enough words to put together to tell you how much I appreciate this video!
Thank you so much!
Thank u so much ....found ur vidios really worthy❤️🙏🏻😊
I'm glad!
Thanks Dr, can you make video about clerckships, applying and also how to be ready and make the best out of it.
Yup sure ! Upcoming video :)
How did you do observer-ship during 3rd year? Can you please tell more about research electives or observer ship during medical school before internship?
Yes, I will talking about it in the upcoming videos.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal pls do it
After giving step 2 ck is it mandatory to apply for matching at the same year or i can able to apply after 2 to 3 years?
Did someone did the step 1 in January 2022 ? Please tell me about your experience since it is pass fail now . Thanks
How do you think the extension process would work after NEXT is implemented? Would we have to appear for the exam in order to get graduated?
I think the extension process will work then too. You would have to take the exam (NEXT) in order to graduate according to the Indian Medical system, but I guess you will be able to take it at a later year.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal Okk.
Will NEXT 1 be valid until next year if we take break in internship and then take NEXT 2 after a long gap?
Please let me know.
Great video,
how many months prior one has to apply for observership?
Clerkships is different from observerships. Its better to do a clerkship. Apply at least 6 months prior to start date.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal Okk thanks a lot ma’am.
Ma’am what types of usce(you experienced)you have other than observership and clerkships?
Can you make a video on the process for extending the internship in India
Sure!
So, how much gap I can take between step 1 and step 2 exam??
As much or as little as you like.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal really there is no barrier of time , like I can give step 2 after step 1 whenever I want??🌚
@@aryanverma4719 step 1 scores are valid for 7 years. And you can give step 2 within that time. Pls reconfirm on usmle website.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thanks for the information

Hi ! Yes upcoming :)
Hi, im also a IMG and was wondering how you got your observership/clerkship? Did you e-mail different hospitals? How did you find them? What did you e-mail them?
I looked up their websites and applied directly. Most programs have an application portal.
Hi Divya , thank you for the informative video! i have a q for you and whoever sees this comment , how important is to have researches on your CV ?
The NRMP survey shows that most applicants have about 1-2 research experiences and 2-3 publications/presentations.

Hi
is it advisable to go through the different agencies which are helping students in steps and research (like Astute , moksh ...etc.)?
Its best to get in contact with people who have gone through it and ask them instead of just seeing reviews on their website. Some groups I can vouch for are The Match Guy, Match a Resident, USMLE Sarthi, Brooklyn USCE.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thank you for the reply.

Hey
I have completed uworld step1
Now I want to do another question bank
Which one would you suggest
Amboss or usmlerx ?
Usmlerx would be more beneficially if done before uworld, in my opinion. So I would say go with AMBOSS.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thanks
Thanks for this video! What would you suggest to a first year med student preparing for USMLE
It's never too early to start preparing for the Usmle, but try to enjoy learning medicine, getting used to med school, taking part in extra curriculars etc.
Don't fret too much about building your cv/studying for the steps.

Hi! I haven't personally looked into this but do check if your college is still in the directory. Seems like there won't be too much issue.
Presented with immense clarity.... ❤
I seriously need help, regarding USCE, can I contact you somehow?
Please text me on my Instagram page. Link in my bio.
Also how many publications should we have before going for the match
There's no definitive answer. As many as you can, but the minimum safe bet would be 1.
Hi.
Really liked this video.
Can you please make a detailed video on Clerkships?
Yes, upcoming!
Great video,
Did you do any elective?
Please let me know.
Yes I did three months of clinical rotations in the US.
Best video . Full of knowledge . Thanks for this useful video ☺️
Glad it is helpful !
You go girl! ❤️ Thanks for this 😄
You're so welcome!
Hello ! What did you do between the time you applied for electives ( August 2021 ) till this January ? Did you resume your internship ?
Internship, research, spent time with my family and studied for usmle step 2 CK.
hey
i have done first pass of uworld with 55% correct 😭
should i do amboss or usmlerx also
or another round of uworld ?
Hey. You can do your incorrect and marked questions of Uworld and try to nail down the difficult concepts. Personally I wouldn't do amboss for step 1.
@@DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal thanks for reply
only uworld and nbme are enough to get good marks in step 1 ?
Uworld is a great resource. Nbme are good mock exams. You'll have to also build you basics which can be done with FA, pathoma, BNB.
It's a good idea to do as many questions as you can.

Can we give USMLE after MBBS or can we give after neet pg
USMLE exams are meant for a residency (equivalent to NEET PG) in the US. So you can give these exam during your MBBS and after as well
Very informative video Divya!

Which documents we would need prior to applying, and application process
Absolutely ! Working on it currently and it will be out soon :)
