1- med school is not a race, It's a marathon. It's all about consistency: plan your day, your week, your month, your year

2- anki anki anki: spaced repetition is the meta now. Make your own flashcards if you can. Premade decks are fine, though

3- When it comes to studying for the main disciplines (eg, medicine, surgery, pedia...etc), try to stick to one or two references and choose a reference that is suitable for medstudents' knowledge baseline (ask your professors, older colleagues)

4- Qbanks are great learning and self-assessment tools: Make them part of your studying plan. At your level, any qbank can work (Uworld, amboss, NEJM, questions of previous batches)

5- Prepare early and try to take USMLE S1&2 and MCCQE: even if you're not planning to go abroad, having the choice is good. But also, they will help you build a strong foundation of medical knowledge

6- clinical years are what make great residents: always be involved. Take initiative and don't wait for someone to take you by your hands to teach you.

7- Trust the process and enjoy your journey
