      Thank you! And I took step 1 after second year so I only kept up with cards that had step 2 overlap.
      Since I had been doing Anki pretty religiously during my first two years I only took one practice nbme that gave me like a 98% chance of passing or something like that. But I had been doing UWorld in the weeks leading up to my exam

    Congrats doc. Any tips how to increase my daily question output? I max out at 80 qs per day (to do and correct).

      Thanks so much! The only real way is practice. I’d recommend adding 10-20 questions per day and working your way up. It’s like running, the only way to be able to run longer is to train your body by slowly running longer and longer distances until your conditioning improves.

    Following your journey from Spain, using these advices on my path to usmle exams!. Btw it's so cool to see the differences between each system, in Spain we take the Medical Intern Resident exam "MIR" after we graduate (24-ish yr old average) in order to get a mark and choose a desirable speciality, on the hand seems like in USA you take steps during med school woah.. As an IMG feels like we have to cram after graduation if you didnt know about the steps. May I ask, how much time on average people spend on step 1 and 2, although everybody have its own progress? Keep it up with the vids!!!

    • @EvolvingMedic
      @EvolvingMedic  Рік тому

      It’s definitely not easy to manage and during busy seasons of life, exercise is often dropped from my priority list lol. But I’ve been pretty diligent to determine my “must dos” vs. my “can dos” from my to-do list. And then I use the principles from the book “Eat That Frog” (basically do the worst “must dos” as soon as possible every day - aka studying), and this leaves a lot more time for can dos, or just things I want to do, in the evenings! I hope this makes sense! I may make a video on how I (try to) balance everything!
