Is STEP 1 something you have to write after every semester or year? (As I recall, you mentioned that it was a 2 year cumulative exam, but I don't understand how your test system works)... What are STEPs, do your classes end before you "book" your exam and before you begin studying for the exam? Also, how many classes are you taking per semester? Does your STEPs exam cover all of those classes? Thanks.
Medbros, I enjoyed your vlog! The one about being smart requires having empathy. I learned a lot from (you) that video, or how intelligent you are. I hope I can keep up.
I need this book because I’m applying to medical schools as a single mom of 3 after divorcing my abusive husband! I want to prove him and everyone wrong by accomplishing my dream of medical school against all odds!! Thanks for your amazing videos!! I’ve been watching on my MCAT study breaks and as I’m a month out from my MCAT, this video definitely light a fire in me to really grind out these last 30 days!!
I think you're not aware of how much your vlogs help people study, they have really helped me and they still do! Keep doing what you're doing and congrats for getting into surgery, love youuu ❤
I’m not a medical student but I can say from what I’ve seen on UA-cam that this is probably one of the most motivational and encouraging videos I’ve seen posted about Step 1! Way to go girl proud of you!
lots of looove ... am a med student in tunisia we have an exam after 5 years of med school that is equivalent to step 1 nd 2 ...i am now preparing for it and my life sucks .. j watched america vlogs of step 1 and2 abt million times ..so motivating ...thx america ...let s do our best everybody
in case you feel like being a doctor is not for you after all, you'll have a great career ahead of you as a motivational speaker. I don't even study medicine, and now I feel like I can ROCK that Step exam!
I'm not even in med school but I love your videos so much. You spread so much energy and positivity etc. I look up to you so much. You'll be a great, fulfilled doctor for sure.
America!! It would be so amazing if you would make your Quizlet flashcards public so we could all learn from them!! Thank you for your inspiring videos! I appreciate that you went into such detail and gave your opinions and tips for studying. So many people just gloss over that they studied and after they are done don't want to talk about it or share their knowledge and experience with others! You're going to help SO many second year Med students with this video! You should be proud! Also, congrats on your score! I would love a USMLE Step One 2018 book because unfortunately I will have a gap year, and I would love to start learning this important information during that time! Thank you for doing a giveaway!
I have to say, as a student who is still completing pre-req’s in CC you have totally inspired me to continue my journey and work even harder. High school was a drag for me & super hard and it’s affected my college journey! Watching your videos have given me a new mindset. I resonated SO much with the “I’ll be happy with just passing” statement, and you are right! I’m worth so much more. Thank you for making this channel, for uploading videos, and for what you do. I can’t wait to keep watching them throughout the rest of my journey!!!!
I am not even a medical student but this is extremely nice to watch and see you succeeding and being happy with yourself after working so hard :) I hope you get into general surgery and that you succeed in your further studies ! Greetings from a very impressed Business student who still tries to have so much self control as you do to study :D
Your future patients will be so lucky to have a doctor who worked SO HARD over the course of medical school and beyond. Thanks for being my inspiration
@@satchinjoseph3509 not always. Med school is hard and complex. You migh pass but that doesn't mean you'll be a good physician. The greatest doctors usually have a personal reason to become a doctor not because they watched a person they don't know on the internet. That's why there's so many incompetent doctors putting people's lives at risk in the world. Because their motivations for it is not solid. One thing would be if the person said that America contributed to the decision but to say that she is the reason is worrying for sure.
Congratulations America! I knew that you were gonna do great on this exam💪 And i know for sure that you are going to be a great doctor, not only because of your step score, but also because you have a big heart and a pure soul❤ I live in Turkey and i am a medical student, too. I've been struggling with so many things in life. Sometimes even i can't believe what i've been through just to stay in medical school. But like you said, I'm reaching for the stars and i'm doing my best to keep going. Last couple of years were really hard for me, i am stressed all the time, i have anxiety and some other issues. But i know "This, too, shall pass." Sorry for boring you with my problems but ever since i started to watch your videos i feel like i found a friend. I know this sounds weird but this is just how i feel. Whenever i feel down i watch your videos over and over again and i feel better. Yours is the only channel that i get notifications from, ever :)) I am not saying why i need the First Aid book because I wouldn't want you to deal with international shipping. But i am planning to take the usmle after i graduate. If i ever come to the United States, I would love to have a "soy milk cinnamon dolce latte"☕ with you :) I live in Izmir Turkey, if you ever feel like traveling Europe, visiting Greece or sth you should definitely see Turkey too🌸💜 And you should know that you'll always have a friend here... Wow this started out as a comment but turned into a letter :)) i guess i should say bye for now :) Best wishes to you🍀
Congratulations on your score!!! I love watching your videos so much and I wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration. I’m not from America, so the system is quite different here - you can apply to med school straight after high school and study for 6 years and then go to residency afterwards. I always dreamed of becoming a doctor but doubted myself so so much that I went on to study languages, switched my major twice and starting working in IT on the side. I came across your videos at the time that I started to doubt my decisions and after watching you I realized that I need to change my major once again. I don’t feel as if the things I do right now fulfill me and after watching you - so positive and real, I decided to go to med school. I give myself 2 years to catch up on biology and all the subjects needed to get myself into med school. I started studying two weeks ago and even though it’s hard it’s also soooo much worth it. I never enjoyed studying this much. And it’s all thanks to you. So thank you so much and I hope you become a surgeon and get matched with your dream hospital :)
I watched this video back when you posted. I did not plan to move to usa and take this exam. Now i have decided to move to USA and studying for STEP 1. This video out of all the resources out there is most helpful. I came back to rewatch thid video to motivate myself... Thanks girl😇🥰 Love you🥰
i'm in the thick of step 1 studying right now, and I've come back to this video countless of times when i'm lacking in motivation. thanks so much for being honest and showing the world what dedicated is really like!!
I need this First Aid Book because I’m beginning medical school in the Fall and this girl just signed her life to student loans for the first time. LOL. You’re amazing thank you for your videos, they are inspiring !
AMERICA!!!!! Yay 😁 I literally wait for each video 🙏😱 You could make any video and I’d watch it. U impress me simply by being u and ur determination. Thanks for the tips. I assure you they are useful ❤️❤️❤️
You are such an inspiration! You have no idea how much you've helped me since the first day I started to watch your videos. I was so frustrated, almost depressed since I wasnt able to reach decent scores for residency, but then after watching your channel i've realized I wasnt giving my best, I wasnt trying hard enough, you've inspired me and instead of crying and thinking I was a failure I started every morning watching your instagram stories, watching you studying hard helped me to do the same. I'm an IMG (international medical graduate) and I wanna go to the US and take the steps, that's why I would love to have the latest ver. of FA. But there isnt better gift than what you've already gave me, motivation, believing in myself and for that and more I will always be grateful to you. I wish you the best success in the world! With love, MD Karol
congrats America! I'll be a second year medical student in July and am so excited to hear your experience in taking the step! I already know that I want to do pediatrics and am aiming to do really well on the boards. I was always a bad test taker so winning this book will prepare me early enough to start studying before January hits! I will definitely follow all your tips and yes, I agree Sketchy is god send!! Thank you for sharing your experience and your struggles. You're one of my most transparent medical student on youtube!
congrats!! i saw how u suffered during step prep on your insta story... u r so hardworking and resilient!! im sure u will be a great doctor in the future!!
Congratulations ! That’s a good score. I’m about twice your age ( with many more responsibilities) and did Step 1 in June. I didn’t get the score you got but I worked hard and did my best. Let me tell you many people do not start out saying “I just want to pass” , however as the weeks turn into months... you get soooo TIRED. So, for those who are not 23 years old and “the challenges of life” get in their way, I would say work hard, don’t wait too long to do the exam and go forth in faith. Blessings...
Hi America, I was accepted into Med School for the class of 2022 and I have really enjoyed how real your videos are. Thanks so much for sharing! I actually was gifted the 2018 First Aid so i am not entering the giveaway but keep up the great work. You will soon be Dr!
You have inspired me to get up of bed and work my ass off to achieve my dreams. I kid you not America , seeing you struggle so hard not having enough sleep and yet giving it your best motivated me to bring out the most I have to prepare for these exams. I love you alot
I’m going to be a first year medical student in August! I would definitely take this book to Denny’s for a study sesh and a Grand Slam. I always look forward to your videos!
I have been watching you since high school. Now I am a pre-med, rising sophomore in college. You have literally been my inspiration to continue fighting. You show the real light about how hard medical school is, but anything is possible if you work hard. I am so happy I have watched you throughout all your years in medical school. Congratulations America!
Hi America!! Thanks for almost 30 minutes of pure positivity and motivation! I am going into 3rd year of med school in Macedonia (we start med school after high school) and I would love this book because I dream of taking the test in Greece and then being able to get licence to work in the states (I have spent my junior year of high school in Arizona as an exchange student and I've pretty much fallen in love with the states) . But if you come across a comment about a med student in the US or someone closer to taking the test (next year or so), maybe give it to them because I think they deserve it way more than I do. Thanks for reading. Sending you hugs from across the ocean! Thanks for inspiring me.
Hi LK, I was also an exchange student in Arizona and now I am a medical student. Glad to hear that you were also placed in Arizona and you have love for medicine.
Congrats on your score! I'm not in med school or even going to med school, but I love watching your videos for study motivation. In Finnish high schools we take 4+ (I took 6) big exams on different subjects at the end of senior year. One of my exams was biology and your videos helped me TREMENDOUSLY. After those exams I studied for a university entrance exam (English language and literature), and even though your videos are about med school I got so much study motivation from you and I was able to keep going. Thank you America! ❤️
Congratulations America!! Thank you for making this video and really being so honest with your entire experience of medical school. It’s hard to see people and not compare yourself to people who are scoring around 245 or higher. Plenty of videos out there which tell you “how to score 250+”... but that’s not the most realistic way to show to an average student. You are on of the most honest hardworking medical student I have ever seen. You have shown that with hard work and dedication it is possible to get where you want and failures are way of improving. You are my inspiration. I am an incoming medical student and having first aid early on will help me because I would be able to annotate and use it during the school year. Medical school is expensive as it is and even deducting/spending 50$ can make or break your week. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for being you!!
Your MCAT video is the reason why I am persevering. You’re such an inspiration. Although I’m not in medical school just yet, you will be the reason I do just THAT much better when I do get there. Two more years to go. Thank you ❤️
I personally think that's an awesome score, and your jump from your initial CBSE to your final score is super impressive. Congrats and thanks for this video!
Thank you America for your videos, I've been preparing for step 1 on and off for 2 years and your vids are so motivating. I went through all of the emotional turmoil by myself, but I finally gathered enough strength & registered for the step in Dec 2018. I also wish to be a surgical resident. The journey itself is so hard especially with IMGs and at some point it even made me cry. But your vids gave me inspiration which is why I kept striving up until now. I wish you best of luck and I hope you make your dreams come true.
Thank you so, so, so, so much for this overview video. I spent months trying to figure out a plan for myself. Oh what the heck! I have spent a year trying to figure out the best routine for me! No one was able to give a firm idea as to how I should go about studying my for STEP. I had people tell me about all the resources you mentioned, BUT America...no one ever sat down with me and laid out a plan of action. You did that for me. I love your method. I have the USMLE and sketchy videos. Granted, I have class now. But once class is over this semester, I will know exactly what to do. And I will plan on half the amount of videos and 5 pages of FA and 5 Pages of I Do Not know for now considering my current MS2 classes. Thanks for telling me what to annotate on FA. This video was beyond helpful and I have you to thank for that. Thanks a TON!!! I really believe you are a gift from above. Cheers and well wishes as you prepare for that Surgery Residency!! @America
Hi America, Watching ur videos always helped me to study the hardest during tough times, and were always inspirational and pleasant to eye. I could always relate to you in some ways or the other. Watched this channel grow 15k subscribers to wooping 62k !! Yay ! Congrats! I will be starting my med school soon as well. I would like to have the step 1 book, and I wish everyone a goodluck and wish they can use it well ! :)
Hello America! I love your channel, especially right now! I am in the process of studying for the MCAT, and watching your videos has helped me define my study plan for it! It is definitely no Step 1, but I am finding this incredibly difficult! I am an engineering physics student and I have not even thought about biology or most of the MCAT material since high school, if even at all! Studying for the MCAT is making me extremely nervous about medical school (if I even get accepted..) because I feel so far behind my peers who are taking health science related degrees (so getting a head start on USMLE prep when the MCAT is over would be great for me). However when I watch your videos it inspires me so much and makes me feel like I really can do it! You even inspired me to start an instagram to reach out to others on this journey. Congrats on being done Step 1!!
Tysm for this! I'm a second year medical student, taking step in June, and I have been struggling with motivating myself/orienting my resources properly to study for step and SO MANY THINGS resonated. The struggle with pharm and micro is REAL, and it's so exhausting. I'm not in my dedicated study period yet, but after watching this I have a good idea of how I can tackle it all. BEST OF LUCK DURING 3rd and 4th year
Hi America, First of all - absolutely brilliant score! I watched your previous videos showing your journey through Step 1, and it’s commendable seeing how much work and effort you put into it and I’m so relieved for you that you managed to get the score that you wanted and needed to pursue surgery! Like yourself, I’m a budding surgeon, hoping one day to work across in the US. I’m a British medical student and I just found out recently that I have passed my medical school finals, so I’m completely over the moon right now! I’ve been researching for a while now into taking the USMLE Step 1 and I’m aiming to start the revision alongside my residency jobs starting in August - it’s going to be tough, but having seen your videos, it’s given me the motivation and determination to crack on! Sending you all the luck with your upcoming exams, and best of luck finishing medical school and getting the residency jobs you hope for. Ben :)
I'm saving this video for when I'm studying for Step next year and in need of major motivation. You are amazing and you are going to make SUCH a great physician. Best of luck during third year!!!
Congratulations I’m sooo happy for u 👏👏👏 I’m from morocco and i like all of your videos! I was just hearing about the steps i wasn’t planing to take it cuz i was told that was very hard ( which is true hahahaha) but after watching ur videos i think that i should keep the level of my dreams very high! I have to work harder and harder! Thank uuuu so much for sharing ur experience! u r such a great source of inspiration for all med school students all over the word 💥💥💥
Hey America !!! Thank you for your emotional support, helpful guidance and kind words. I am a premed student in Bulgaria and next year i am going to med school😍😍😍 My biggest dream is to become a physician in the USA and i think this book will help a lot in order to prepare for Step 1. Keep doing those amazing vlogs. Best of luck👨🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️!!!
Definitely the most genuine med student on UA-cam... hands down. Thorough and amazing videos consistently. Thank you for your content and inspiration! And congrats on the score 🎉
I'm not in med school, but your videos always motivate me to study hard for my GRE for grad school! I admire your work ethic and positive attitude!! best of luck to you :)
Can I just say I HAVE BEEN WAITING for this video to see how you did?!?! Thank you!!! Also, I am in nursing school right now, which is NO WHERE near medical school, but "getting what you need to" is honestly just as good as getting the best score as long as you know you worked your butt off!! Super proud of you girl ;)
There was no way I was going to watch a 27 min video when I started watching this.... but you are so darn likable and fun and encouraging and honest! I watched the entire thing and I’m going to recommend to friends. The amount of work ahead is daunting but you’ve made me want to hop in the shower and POWER UP! Thank you! Subscribed 🥰
You looked so nice & fresh .. happy to see you again after a long break.. you & your lovely vedios have been inspiring me; an IMG from miles miles away.. I've watched all of your blogs during the preparation step exam, though they are long enough but they pays off & i ended up being enjoying them very much..
America you are an inspiration. A 237 is awesome and much easier said than done. I havent started med school yet, but i hope to score similarly. You have achieved much more than many people are capable of. That is something to be super happy about.
I wish to win this giveaway because each time I use that book I won’t just be learning from it. I’ll be reminded of everything you just said. It’ll motivate and inspire me, just like your videos do. To me it won’t be a tool but something more meaningful. Hope you know you do inspire people like myself. Good luck with everything you do in the future.
OMG CONGRATS AMERICA!!!! I watched your study videos and have been rooting for you!! I am so happy for you that your dream is within reach! You so deserve it!! AMAZING SCORE!!!
Hey everyone!! Please reply to this comment what you think the future nickname for the "america gang" should be. I would call you the "americans" but that's already taken :P much love😊❤️
Hi America I love you sooo much and I love your vlogs you give me inspiration to read and work hard pleaeeeeeeeeees keep making these amazing videos of yours
I’ve waited for you to post this ever since you posted your studying vlogs, I’m so happy for you, you even got more than the score you wanted, you’re gonna be exactly what you want if you keep your hard work. I never really comment at videos but i had to i was so excited
I am a med student from another country who decided to be a doctor in the US. I could really use this book cause I need to study usmle this summer and in my currency 1 $ is a lot.
Hello, i am à 3rd year médical student in algeria we actualy study 7 years for med school. I also want to beaucoup à doctor in america, howa can we do it please i don't know where to search for real information, so if there is a Web site or something like this please tell me.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! Whenever I wake up with my energy zapped, hopeless, and have no motivation, I watch your videos and they instantly give me the confidence and boost I need. Studying is hard, but you make it easier. I don’t know how you do it, but somehow you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough. I have Step1 coming up and I'll be honest, I’m scared. I am incredibly scared. I don’t know how I'll even pass, let alone "reach for the stars." I study but nothing sticks. The more new stuff I learn, the more old information gets shoved out of my head. My brain is so fried trying to remember things in medicine that I can’t remember the little things in the real world, like my friends' birthdays or what they just said ten minutes ago. I really need a miracle here. The USMLE First Aid Step1 book would help a lot. My sources here in Germany are not that good, not that detailed. I already have problems reading German in the first place, and I’m falling behind compared to my native-German peers. Having a book in my language would be a godsend. I want to finish medical school as fast as I can so I can return to my friends and family again. Please help me.
one of my dreams is to get into medical school! you are so inspirational i have been here since the start of your channel and i am so proud of you!! #futuresurgeon 🎉
I'm so glad you did this video. You put yourself out there and gave us the motivation we needed. Your score is great! You touched not one but thousands. Your mom was right, thank for sharing your study plans and tips with us. I have incorporated your tips and a few others for my plans, which I know will help me score well. Thank you again!
I’m not even in med school but you give me so much motivation to try the very best I can in school! Watching all your videos inspire me and are super helpful, and I’m sure I will use all the tips you’ve given when I WILL attend med school!!! I thought about pursuing a different career but watching your videos makes me want to pursue a career in the medical field, more specifically I would love to become an OBGYN!! I love you America and your channel, you’re an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ I seriously can’t wait to ride along and support you for your last 2 years of med school and into your residency!
Thank you for this video America! I just discovered your channel 30 mins ago and this video has brought me back the confidence needed during this period of setback. Looking forward to binging the rest :)
Omg... I love you so much! You are seriously the most motivating person I've ever seen/watched. Thank you so much, because you are the most kindest, smartest and beautiful med student I've ever watched. You've crated a nation of supporters that thank you everyday, and you deserve it. To hell if 237 isn't the the highest. You want to be a GS and your score did the job, and you are proud to say it is yours, f others who say otherwise. Congratulations, and enjoy third year medicine☺️
I'm not even a medical student and I LOVE your videos. Your personality is so amazing and it just shines through out your videos. You are an amazing person, America. I'm so excited to see all that you will accomplish
Giveaway is closed everyone! Congrats to "Bless Her Health" for winning and let's cheer her on that she may succeed!:)
Can you make a video on why you want to be a doctor? 🤗 love your videos and your personality so much!!
america Is it possible to pass usml with level intermedia English? I'm from Russia I'm ambulance doctor.
Why do you have the 2018 version of the STEPS aid book..I don't understand, I thought you were done with that chapter of your studies..?
Is STEP 1 something you have to write after every semester or year? (As I recall, you mentioned that it was a 2 year cumulative exam, but I don't understand how your test system works)...
What are STEPs, do your classes end before you "book" your exam and before you begin studying for the exam?
Also, how many classes are you taking per semester? Does your STEPs exam cover all of those classes?
Thanks.
That sad.i want that book
Thanks for sharing and putting yourself out there! And I love it when people go into the specifics so great job with the video!
MedBros love both of you! You two provide such great content to UA-cam 👍🏽
I watch you too Shamen.
Thank you, MedBros 💯 collab soon? lol!
my two faves :)
Medbros, I enjoyed your vlog! The one about being smart requires having empathy. I learned a lot from (you) that video, or how intelligent you are. I hope I can keep up.
I need this book because I’m applying to medical schools as a single mom of 3 after divorcing my abusive husband! I want to prove him and everyone wrong by accomplishing my dream of medical school against all odds!! Thanks for your amazing videos!!

America!! It would be so amazing if you would make your Quizlet flashcards public so we could all learn from them!! Thank you for your inspiring videos! I appreciate that you went into such detail and gave your opinions and tips for studying. So many people just gloss over that they studied and after they are done don't want to talk about it or share their knowledge and experience with others! You're going to help SO many second year Med students with this video! You should be proud! Also, congrats on your score! I would love a USMLE Step One 2018 book because unfortunately I will have a gap year, and I would love to start learning this important information during that time! Thank you for doing a giveaway!
Yaaas
subscribers so dedicated, they're here before its live D: 💕
america OMFG I LOVE YOU. YOU JUST MADE MY DAY, LIFE, ETERNITY THANK YOU ❤️
america love all your videos girl!!
I have to say, as a student who is still completing pre-req’s in CC you have totally inspired me to continue my journey and work even harder. High school was a drag for me & super hard and it’s affected my college journey! Watching your videos have given me a new mindset. I resonated SO much with the “I’ll be happy with just passing” statement, and you are right! I’m worth so much more. Thank you for making this channel, for uploading videos, and for what you do. I can’t wait to keep watching them throughout the rest of my journey!!!!

Greetings from a very impressed Business student who still tries to have so much self control as you do to study :D
Your future patients will be so lucky to have a doctor who worked SO HARD over the course of medical school and beyond. Thanks for being my inspiration
you are the reason I got into med school
Salma Hegazi what school?
Thats not really a good thing, you should have a desire to do this, without someone having to influence you
Mattia Binotto Desires comes from influences.
@@satchinjoseph3509 not always. Med school is hard and complex. You migh pass but that doesn't mean you'll be a good physician.

justanotherpersonxo Same principle applies no matter what you say. Personal reasons influence people, sparking their desire to do or become something.
I don't want to go to med school but I find you so inspiring and can't stop watching your videos!
Congratulations America! I knew that you were gonna do great on this exam💪 And i know for sure that you are going to be a great doctor, not only because of your step score, but also because you have a big heart and a pure soul❤
I live in Turkey and i am a medical student, too. I've been struggling with so many things in life. Sometimes even i can't believe what i've been through just to stay in medical school. But like you said, I'm reaching for the stars and i'm doing my best to keep going. Last couple of years were really hard for me, i am stressed all the time, i have anxiety and some other issues. But i know "This, too, shall pass."
Sorry for boring you with my problems but ever since i started to watch your videos i feel like i found a friend. I know this sounds weird but this is just how i feel. Whenever i feel down i watch your videos over and over again and i feel better. Yours is the only channel that i get notifications from, ever :))
I am not saying why i need the First Aid book because I wouldn't want you to deal with international shipping. But i am planning to take the usmle after i graduate. If i ever come to the United States, I would love to have a "soy milk cinnamon dolce latte"☕ with you :) I live in Izmir Turkey, if you ever feel like traveling Europe, visiting Greece or sth you should definitely see Turkey too🌸💜 And you should know that you'll always have a friend here...
Wow this started out as a comment but turned into a letter :)) i guess i should say bye for now :)
Best wishes to you🍀
Congratulations on your score!!! I love watching your videos so much and I wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration. I’m not from America, so the system is quite different here - you can apply to med school straight after high school and study for 6 years and then go to residency afterwards. I always dreamed of becoming a doctor but doubted myself so so much that I went on to study languages, switched my major twice and starting working in IT on the side. I came across your videos at the time that I started to doubt my decisions and after watching you I realized that I need to change my major once again. I don’t feel as if the things I do right now fulfill me and after watching you - so positive and real, I decided to go to med school. I give myself 2 years to catch up on biology and all the subjects needed to get myself into med school. I started studying two weeks ago and even though it’s hard it’s also soooo much worth it. I never enjoyed studying this much. And it’s all thanks to you. So thank you so much and I hope you become a surgeon and get matched with your dream hospital :)
please dont ever delete this video. I will look at it in 2 year from now!! youre so inspirational!
Here's a reminder, it's been 2 years :D
I watched this video back when you posted. I did not plan to move to usa and take this exam.
Now i have decided to move to USA and studying for STEP 1.
This video out of all the resources out there is most helpful. I came back to rewatch thid video to motivate myself...
Thanks girl😇🥰
Love you🥰
Welcome back
happy to be back :)

i'm in the thick of step 1 studying right now, and I've come back to this video countless of times when i'm lacking in motivation. thanks so much for being honest and showing the world what dedicated is really like!!
I need this First Aid Book because I’m beginning medical school in the Fall and this girl just signed her life to student loans for the first time. LOL. You’re amazing thank you for your videos, they are inspiring !
Guys here is one of the best playlist for medical students for deep focus.

You're the best America! I love that you genuinely care about your followers and all the motivation you gave!
AMERICA!!!!! Yay 😁
I literally wait for each video 🙏😱
You could make any video and I’d watch it. U impress me simply by being u and ur determination. Thanks for the tips. I assure you they are useful ❤️❤️❤️
You are such an inspiration! You have no idea how much you've helped me since the first day I started to watch your videos. I was so frustrated, almost depressed since I wasnt able to reach decent scores for residency, but then after watching your channel i've realized I wasnt giving my best, I wasnt trying hard enough, you've inspired me and instead of crying and thinking I was a failure I started every morning watching your instagram stories, watching you studying hard helped me to do the same. I'm an IMG (international medical graduate) and I wanna go to the US and take the steps, that's why I would love to have the latest ver. of FA. But there isnt better gift than what you've already gave me, motivation, believing in myself and for that and more I will always be grateful to you. I wish you the best success in the world! With love, MD Karol
congrats America! I'll be a second year medical student in July and am so excited to hear your experience in taking the step! I already know that I want to do pediatrics and am aiming to do really well on the boards. I was always a bad test taker so winning this book will prepare me early enough to start studying before January hits! I will definitely follow all your tips and yes, I agree Sketchy is god send!! Thank you for sharing your experience and your struggles. You're one of my most transparent medical student on youtube!
Must watch anatomy video ua-cam.com/video/PkCY7BThcVM/v-deo.html
congrats!! i saw how u suffered during step prep on your insta story... u r so hardworking and resilient!! im sure u will be a great doctor in the future!!
I've been checking here every day for your score reveal since I knew grades were up! congrats soo happy for you, I am 3 weeks away from my step!
howd it go?
How was it 😅
Congratulations ! That’s a good score. I’m about twice your age ( with many more responsibilities) and did Step 1 in June. I didn’t get the score you got but I worked hard and did my best. Let me tell you many people do not start out saying “I just want to pass” , however as the weeks turn into months... you get soooo TIRED. So, for those who are not 23 years old and “the challenges of life” get in their way, I would say work hard, don’t wait too long to do the exam and go forth in faith. Blessings...
Hi America, I was accepted into Med School for the class of 2022 and I have really enjoyed how real your videos are. Thanks so much for sharing! I actually was gifted the 2018 First Aid so i am not entering the giveaway but keep up the great work. You will soon be Dr!
That book is not needed, but many people use it.
You have inspired me to get up of bed and work my ass off to achieve my dreams. I kid you not America , seeing you struggle so hard not having enough sleep and yet giving it your best motivated me to bring out the most I have to prepare for these exams. I love you alot
I’m going to be a first year medical student in August! I would definitely take this book to Denny’s for a study sesh and a Grand Slam. I always look forward to your videos!
I have been watching you since high school. Now I am a pre-med, rising sophomore in college. You have literally been my inspiration to continue fighting. You show the real light about how hard medical school is, but anything is possible if you work hard. I am so happy I have watched you throughout all your years in medical school. Congratulations America!
Hi America!! Thanks for almost 30 minutes of pure positivity and motivation! I am going into 3rd year of med school in Macedonia (we start med school after high school) and I would love this book because I dream of taking the test in Greece and then being able to get licence to work in the states (I have spent my junior year of high school in Arizona as an exchange student and I've pretty much fallen in love with the states) . But if you come across a comment about a med student in the US or someone closer to taking the test (next year or so), maybe give it to them because I think they deserve it way more than I do. Thanks for reading. Sending you hugs from across the ocean! Thanks for inspiring me.
Hi LK, I was also an exchange student in Arizona and now I am a medical student. Glad to hear that you were also placed in Arizona and you have love for medicine.
Congrats on your score! I'm not in med school or even going to med school, but I love watching your videos for study motivation. In Finnish high schools we take 4+ (I took 6) big exams on different subjects at the end of senior year. One of my exams was biology and your videos helped me TREMENDOUSLY. After those exams I studied for a university entrance exam (English language and literature), and even though your videos are about med school I got so much study motivation from you and I was able to keep going. Thank you America! ❤️
That 'tips' part is the best thing ever. THANK YOU !
Congratulations America!! Thank you for making this video and really being so honest with your entire experience of medical school. It’s hard to see people and not compare yourself to people who are scoring around 245 or higher. Plenty of videos out there which tell you “how to score 250+”... but that’s not the most realistic way to show to an average student. You are on of the most honest hardworking medical student I have ever seen. You have shown that with hard work and dedication it is possible to get where you want and failures are way of improving. You are my inspiration. I am an incoming medical student and having first aid early on will help me because I would be able to annotate and use it during the school year. Medical school is expensive as it is and even deducting/spending 50$ can make or break your week. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for being you!!
Congratulations for finishing step! I am an incoming MS2 and I am deciding how to prepare for step!
Uworld, Anki, all NBME practice tests. No books. Trust me.
Your MCAT video is the reason why I am persevering. You’re such an inspiration. Although I’m not in medical school just yet, you will be the reason I do just THAT much better when I do get there. Two more years to go. Thank you ❤️
girl that score is amazing, congratulations!!!! i hope i do as well on mine :)
awww thank you
I personally think that's an awesome score, and your jump from your initial CBSE to your final score is super impressive. Congrats and thanks for this video!
so u completed only about 50% of UWorld QBank? And still managed to get that score. Gurl,u on fireeee
Thank you America for your videos, I've been preparing for step 1 on and off for 2 years and your vids are so motivating. I went through all of the emotional turmoil by myself, but I finally gathered enough strength & registered for the step in Dec 2018. I also wish to be a surgical resident. The journey itself is so hard especially with IMGs and at some point it even made me cry. But your vids gave me inspiration which is why I kept striving up until now. I wish you best of luck and I hope you make your dreams come true.
You’re are a super genius. My lazy ass could not pass a regular test. Lol
I love how you write cute little notes on the side. They actually make me smile or laugh. Very unique.
inspiring as always , so proud and motivated to see your journey , feeling so so so grateful , thank you america for sharing this with us xxxx
Thank you so, so, so, so much for this overview video. I spent months trying to figure out a plan for myself. Oh what the heck! I have spent a year trying to figure out the best routine for me! No one was able to give a firm idea as to how I should go about studying my for STEP. I had people tell me about all the resources you mentioned, BUT America...no one ever sat down with me and laid out a plan of action. You did that for me. I love your method. I have the USMLE and sketchy videos. Granted, I have class now. But once class is over this semester, I will know exactly what to do. And I will plan on half the amount of videos and 5 pages of FA and 5 Pages of I Do Not know for now considering my current MS2 classes. Thanks for telling me what to annotate on FA. This video was beyond helpful and I have you to thank for that. Thanks a TON!!! I really believe you are a gift from above. Cheers and well wishes as you prepare for that Surgery Residency!! @America
I’m proud of her.
This is probably the most realistic USMLE video I have come across. Thanks!!
Hi America,
Watching ur videos always helped me to study the hardest during tough times, and were always inspirational and pleasant to eye. I could always relate to you in some ways or the other. Watched this channel grow 15k subscribers to wooping 62k !! Yay ! Congrats! I will be starting my med school soon as well.
I would like to have the step 1 book, and I wish everyone a goodluck and wish they can use it well ! :)
Hello America! I love your channel, especially right now! I am in the process of studying for the MCAT, and watching your videos has helped me define my study plan for it! It is definitely no Step 1, but I am finding this incredibly difficult! I am an engineering physics student and I have not even thought about biology or most of the MCAT material since high school, if even at all! Studying for the MCAT is making me extremely nervous about medical school (if I even get accepted..) because I feel so far behind my peers who are taking health science related degrees (so getting a head start on USMLE prep when the MCAT is over would be great for me). However when I watch your videos it inspires me so much and makes me feel like I really can do it! You even inspired me to start an instagram to reach out to others on this journey. Congrats on being done Step 1!!
🙏U have shown one of the best detailed study routine
Really happy for u
Tysm for this! I'm a second year medical student, taking step in June, and I have been struggling with motivating myself/orienting my resources properly to study for step and SO MANY THINGS resonated. The struggle with pharm and micro is REAL, and it's so exhausting. I'm not in my dedicated study period yet, but after watching this I have a good idea of how I can tackle it all. BEST OF LUCK DURING 3rd and 4th year
How did you get your score so early? I got mine today. BTW, I got a 235 (hoped for a 240) but I'm still super proud of myself.
what would you have done differently
If someone don’t get the score he wants, can he give again the exam? Or it’s one time exam?
@@dimitrakopo you can only retake it if you fail. If you pass, you keep whatever score you get
Hi America, First of all - absolutely brilliant score! I watched your previous videos showing your journey through Step 1, and it’s commendable seeing how much work and effort you put into it and I’m so relieved for you that you managed to get the score that you wanted and needed to pursue surgery! Like yourself, I’m a budding surgeon, hoping one day to work across in the US. I’m a British medical student and I just found out recently that I have passed my medical school finals, so I’m completely over the moon right now! I’ve been researching for a while now into taking the USMLE Step 1 and I’m aiming to start the revision alongside my residency jobs starting in August - it’s going to be tough, but having seen your videos, it’s given me the motivation and determination to crack on! Sending you all the luck with your upcoming exams, and best of luck finishing medical school and getting the residency jobs you hope for. Ben :)
oopppssssss who else is supposed to study for his final right nowww??? hehehehe
oh and i dont need the step book :) commented before realizing it s a rule for the giveaway pls give it to someone who needs it
I'm saving this video for when I'm studying for Step next year and in need of major motivation. You are amazing and you are going to make SUCH a great physician. Best of luck during third year!!!
Congratulations I’m sooo happy for u 👏👏👏 I’m from morocco and i like all of your videos! I was just hearing about the steps i wasn’t planing to take it cuz i was told that was very hard ( which is true hahahaha) but after watching ur videos i think that i should keep the level of my dreams very high! I have to work harder and harder! Thank uuuu so much for sharing ur experience! u r such a great source of inspiration for all med school students all over the word 💥💥💥
Keep making videos throughout the rest of med school all of them really help to understand what med school is like and what it's about
Hey America !!! Thank you for your emotional support, helpful guidance and kind words. I am a premed student in Bulgaria and next year i am going to med school😍😍😍
My biggest dream is to become a physician in the USA and i think this book will help a lot in order to prepare for Step 1. Keep doing those amazing vlogs. Best of luck👨🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️!!!
Definitely the most genuine med student on UA-cam... hands down. Thorough and amazing videos consistently. Thank you for your content and inspiration! And congrats on the score 🎉
Score reveal at 6:09
thx haha
😂😂😂 how do you knew that I was looking for it. Thx
hahahahahahaahhaha thanks a lot bro
I'm not in med school, but your videos always motivate me to study hard for my GRE for grad school! I admire your work ethic and positive attitude!! best of luck to you :)
Congratulations America!! Could you send that "what I don't know document"?
Can I just say I HAVE BEEN WAITING for this video to see how you did?!?! Thank you!!! Also, I am in nursing school right now, which is NO WHERE near medical school, but "getting what you need to" is honestly just as good as getting the best score as long as you know you worked your butt off!! Super proud of you girl ;)
America, can you please share your quizlet stacks with us 😇
Yes please
yes please!!!
There was no way I was going to watch a 27 min video when I started watching this.... but you are so darn likable and fun and encouraging and honest! I watched the entire thing and I’m going to recommend to friends. The amount of work ahead is daunting but you’ve made me want to hop in the shower and POWER UP! Thank you! Subscribed 🥰
You looked so nice & fresh .. happy to see you again after a long break.. you & your lovely vedios have been inspiring me; an IMG from miles miles away.. I've watched all of your blogs during the preparation step exam, though they are long enough but they pays off & i ended up being enjoying them very much..
America you are an inspiration. A 237 is awesome and much easier said than done. I havent started med school yet, but i hope to score similarly. You have achieved much more than many people are capable of. That is something to be super happy about.
I wish to win this giveaway because each time I use that book I won’t just be learning from it. I’ll be reminded of everything you just said. It’ll motivate and inspire me, just like your videos do. To me it won’t be a tool but something more meaningful. Hope you know you do inspire people like myself. Good luck with everything you do in the future.
OMG CONGRATS AMERICA!!!! I watched your study videos and have been rooting for you!! I am so happy for you that your dream is within reach! You so deserve it!! AMAZING SCORE!!!
Hey everyone!! Please reply to this comment what you think the future nickname for the "america gang" should be. I would call you the "americans" but that's already taken :P much love😊❤️
Hi America I love you sooo much and I love your vlogs you give me inspiration to read and work hard pleaeeeeeeeeees keep making these amazing videos of yours
Med liberty gang. I just trying to make a random name😂
america but again I love you so much and you inspire me. I literally almost cried tears of joy when you showed your score💛😭
Ahhh I like what that person said, Americanas sounds cool but really it’s up to you.
Med stars❤
America, i thank you from the bottom of my heart ......make sure that you have helped a lot of people in this ......i wish you the best
I’m officially pre med & I have no idea what I’ve gotten myself into lol
Same dude I just need to hopefully get to the MCAT and hopefully do well
I’ve waited for you to post this ever since you posted your studying vlogs, I’m so happy for you, you even got more than the score you wanted, you’re gonna be exactly what you want if you keep your hard work.
I never really comment at videos but i had to i was so excited
I am a med student from another country who decided to be a doctor in the US. I could really use this book cause I need to study usmle this summer and in my currency 1 $ is a lot.
Hello, i am à 3rd year médical student in algeria we actualy study 7 years for med school. I also want to beaucoup à doctor in america, howa can we do it please i don't know where to search for real information, so if there is a Web site or something like this please tell me.
Naila oulfet you can look up ecfmg.org and usmle.org
Thank you 💜💜
Must watch anatomy video ua-cam.com/video/PkCY7BThcVM/v-deo.html
Absolutely one of the best study /motivational videos on here. Thank you for putting this together! Just wow.
I want this book because I cant find it in Serbia(thats where I come from). You’re my real inspiration and I’m really proud of you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anastasija Dimitric were you able to get a copy ?
abdulrahman alnawajha unfortunately no
I've been rooting for you America! I'm so happy that you got a score you're happy with.
so what i learned is "what i don't know document"..best idea
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! Whenever I wake up with my energy zapped, hopeless, and have no motivation, I watch your videos and they instantly give me the confidence and boost I need. Studying is hard, but you make it easier. I don’t know how you do it, but somehow you do. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough. I have Step1 coming up and I'll be honest, I’m scared. I am incredibly scared. I don’t know how I'll even pass, let alone "reach for the stars." I study but nothing sticks. The more new stuff I learn, the more old information gets shoved out of my head. My brain is so fried trying to remember things in medicine that I can’t remember the little things in the real world, like my friends' birthdays or what they just said ten minutes ago. I really need a miracle here. The USMLE First Aid Step1 book would help a lot. My sources here in Germany are not that good, not that detailed. I already have problems reading German in the first place, and I’m falling behind compared to my native-German peers. Having a book in my language would be a godsend. I want to finish medical school as fast as I can so I can return to my friends and family again. Please help me.
one of my dreams is to get into medical school! you are so inspirational i have been here since the start of your channel and i am so proud of you!! #futuresurgeon 🎉
Everyone’s journey is unique! Proud of you! Have been watching your videos for a while now! Good Luck for the future America☺️
beginning of the video: who is she ??
end of the video: omg I'm in love
I'm so glad you did this video. You put yourself out there and gave us the motivation we needed. Your score is great! You touched not one but thousands. Your mom was right, thank for sharing your study plans and tips with us. I have incorporated your tips and a few others for my plans, which I know will help me score well. Thank you again!
are you a US citizen?
Also dang 237 is awesome! Congrats! This is probably one of your greatest achievements ever!!
That moment when you are notified that America has uploaded a new video!!!!! Positivism prevails! Congratulations!
💜💜💜
I will be so happy if i got a book like this.
But i am not in America .
💜😊 Greetings from Syria 😊💜
I’m not even in med school but you give me so much motivation to try the very best I can in school! Watching all your videos inspire me and are super helpful, and I’m sure I will use all the tips you’ve given when I WILL attend med school!!! I thought about pursuing a different career but watching your videos makes me want to pursue a career in the medical field, more specifically I would love to become an OBGYN!! I love you America and your channel, you’re an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️
I seriously can’t wait to ride along and support you for your last 2 years of med school and into your residency!
3rd year? Whatttttt man time flies.
Thank you for this video America! I just discovered your channel 30 mins ago and this video has brought me back the confidence needed during this period of setback. Looking forward to binging the rest :)
Even though this video is 27 minutes long I watched it 6 times xD
Omg... I love you so much! You are seriously the most motivating person I've ever seen/watched. Thank you so much, because you are the most kindest, smartest and beautiful med student I've ever watched. You've crated a nation of supporters that thank you everyday, and you deserve it.
To hell if 237 isn't the the highest. You want to be a GS and your score did the job, and you are proud to say it is yours, f others who say otherwise.
Congratulations, and enjoy third year medicine☺️
I have never entered a giveaway but what the heck .....lets give it a try....I need it cause I don't have one!
I'm not even a medical student and I LOVE your videos. Your personality is so amazing and it just shines through out your videos. You are an amazing person, America. I'm so excited to see all that you will accomplish
