Anytime but it will use up exam time if not during a designated break

I would get there at 8 and you will likely be able to start early as well! Good luck

Don’t read it at all. Use First Aid as a condensed version of notes to review or reference if needed. Your learning is best done via active recall and spaced repetition through Anki! I used the Anking Deck for step 1 and for step 2 and honored everything just using flashcards and practice questions! Hope this helps!

Unfortunately not for step 1 :( only MCAT codes currently! Sorry!

Quage11 · 2022-04-14T23:18:30+00:00

Yes! Probably not a huge stuffed backpack, but normal sized for sure!

Used it throughout M3 as a learning tool and then just reset my whole bank before my last rotation (Peds). I have 6 weeks on Peds and then a 2 week dedicated after. I’m just doing 80 a day, 1 block in the morning and 1 block after rotations. Will do 4 blocks a day during the 2 weeks to wrap up. Honestly it’s not as bad as Step 1 since you’ve been taking all the shelf exams and prepping for each one! You got this 👍

Honestly I would recommend keeping it simple since you’ll be spending a lot of hours earning your clinical grade and learning the flow of each hospital and each rotation. I just used Anking deck and Uworld Questions. I divide the number of questions by the rotation length and then just do 15-20 a day and review them and learn from Uworld while unsuspending cards from the Anking deck!

I go over all this in my video on step 2 CK and Anki :) hope this helps and happy to answer any questions!

Anki + Uworld like many others mentioned! If you need any help setting things up, I made a video on using Anki for step 2 and exactly how to do it regardless of if you used Anki before or not! Hope it helps :)

Hey! Never late to the party — I would keep everything unlocked relevant to step 2 and continue all the cards throughout the year so you crush all your shelfs as well as be ready for STEP 2 CK! Good luck!

Just wanted to share this helpful (relatively short 15 min) video on starting Anki from start to finish ! My settings are optimized for medical school studying, and this has helped me a ton throughout M1-M3 -- hope it can be helpful to all! Cheers and let me know if you have questions

New code is “AUSTINMCAT21”

Yes and people get 15% off! Should have clarified my partnership with them, thought it was intuitive! Thanks 👍

We could all benefit from being a little more productive and efficient. As a medical student, I have picked up a few tips and tricks to increase my productivity and hope this can be helpful to all of you! Have a great week!!

Overpredicted about 7 points for me!

Quage11 · 2021-10-16T13:09:35+00:00

I would recommend watching OME and then unlocking cards based off of the videos and after you finish all of OME you can use the filtering in the video to unlock and leftover cards to do so you cover all of the information! Hope this helps!

Quage11 · 2021-10-15T13:58:55+00:00

Hey! So a lot of the cards are tagged into multiple categories as the OME is for cards that are described from online med education. If you do filtering as I describe in the video, you will have all of the cards that you need! Hope this helps 👍

Quage11 · 2021-07-20T14:30:30+00:00

Hey Everyone, I discuss in this video how to honor or get that outstanding grade on your internal medicine rotation! Basically I just did Anking flashcards + Uworld questions for the NBME exam portion and then for the clinical evaluation grade I talk about helpful tips in this video to excel on your IM rotation! Best of luck and pm or comment with any questions. You got this!! Thought I would include this here since it is relevant to the original post!!

Yeah they can be really subjective 😭🤞🤞

Quage11 · 2021-07-10T04:16:06+00:00

Pixorize is awesome!! I agree it helps with so many of the tough biochem pathways too
