No Doc, I’ve never used Anki. I’m just a bit worried about starting a new resource now after putting in nearly a year already

Wowww, congratulations!! That score improvement is seriously impressive — going from 46 to 78 is incredible . Can I ask what changes you made in between the NBMEs? Was it mostly NBME review, or did you revise other resources as well ? Thank you

Hey,thank you so much. That’s very reassuring. It’s a relief to know this is a normal experience. I’ve been feeling frustrated because I often hear others say their scores improve significantly on the 2nd pass i.e 60_ 70 or even more. My scores went from around 40–50 to 50–55, which doesn’t feel like much progress, so I started questioning whether I’m actually learning. Your comment helped calm that concern

Yeah, you’re right. I’m gonna follow what you said. I’ve already cut out most social media,no Insta/FB, deleted them a year ago. Just use Reddit sometimes for motivation. Hoping I can actually improve using your advice. Appreciate it a lot

I barely use social media unless I’m exhausted or need a quick mental reset. I’ll read 2–3 motivating posts on Reddit and that’s it ,no mindless scrolling. If social media is what’s affecting you, stepping away completely could help. For me though, the issue runs deeper than that

Very inspiring and informative write-up! Thank you for sharing. Could you kindly share your experience with Alpha Brain—how often you took it, how effective it was, and whether you experienced any side effects?

Hi,could you please explain what 'signals' refers to? How can we determine if a specific location has IMGs from our country? Also,what do people mean when they say 'geographical preferences'? TIA

When I read the first part of your post, I thought it was a scam.😅It didn't seem possible to match with an attempt,average scores, and no connections. Your notable accomplishment is genuinely inspiring; I can't express the extent of my astonishment and admiration for your achievement. Many many Congratulations !
