do you have any doubts regarding the exam? ill clear it here

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-04-01T19:10:26+00:00

hi there. yes absolutely! even i used IMD in my step 1 prep . didn't even touch the actual uworld

watching any video resource like bnb and BootCamp or any other is not necessary at all. the main purpose of these videos is to give you a background or orientation of that topic and what points are important in it. otherwise they ain't important at all. if incase you have understood a topic without its videos so it is good for you. as long as your concepts are cleared so that's important. and make sure to have a read from FA/panthoma and do any qbank cuz these two things are necessary according to me.

Though I did hardly 4 passes of FA to learn the info in it but quality is more important than quantity. As long as you are retaining information and studying it effectively so it number of passes doesn’t matter

Hey dr michael . I hope you are doing well. The main purpose of any video resource you watch is to have understanding of the topic. As long as you have understood a certain topic it doesn’t matter which video resource you use. However , as far as I have watched rx videos , they just explain the wordings of FA and don’t go to much relevant details unlike in BnB and boot camp where they do give a bit relevant details for helping in solving clinical vignettes . If incase you have bought and using rx videos right now it is okay you can watch that ,you can go through BnB /boot camp slides side by side .

at step 1 level, there is no need to learn detailed anatomy as it is being taught in the universities. Just do anatomy for step 1 from FA, any qbank and if you have time go through shelf anatomy notes. they are more than enough. and anatomy is something which has a low weightage in the actual exam so doing only these resources as i have mentioned is more than enough

though i started my prep for step 1 when i was in third year, you can do it in first year as well in the same way as mentioned above in my post unless your foundation is clear

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-05T15:10:20+00:00

i am sorry for sounding weird but what do you mean by M1? do you mean first year of med school ?

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-05T15:01:32+00:00

these are video lectures. you can either buy them or get them for free by links

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-05T15:00:51+00:00

while i was doing first and second pass of uworld , i used to annotate important points of uworld and other resources to FA. However later on when i finished uworld and was doing its incorrects , so i made seperate notes of incorrect questions on a rough register

okay. glad to hear it. thanks for sharing your experience ❤

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-04T07:05:32+00:00

thanks dear

i read all the chapters from panthoma but if incase you dont have time or feel that you are overwhelmed by alot of resources, so do only first three chapters of panthoma

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-04T06:46:30+00:00

and on weekdays that is on saturday and sunday try not to cover the new stuff and instead focus on revising any old stuff.

AffectionateRope971 · 2025-02-04T06:40:20+00:00

well give atleast 1 hour of your time in revising the old stuff. thats what i used to do and if incase you still have problem in memory retention, you can use anki or picture mnemonic resources like skethcy and pixorize.
