Okay, the academic bit as I’ve been asked! Firstly, for those who left the exam thinking it went to hell and counted stupid mistakes: Idiotic mistakes: MANY!!!!! Hours of sleep before the exam: 2!!! You can do well with stupid mistakes and no sleep, you honestly can!!I forgot what an amoeba was; I forgot Nephritic […]
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلالِ وَجْهِكَ وَعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ This is my step 1 experience. I will share the outline of my experience. I will not talk about timeline because everyone has his/her own pace and unique circumstances. For me I had a lot of obstacles that delayed me a lot like personal issues and […]
Weird study method: I made a really good friend in medical school and we decided to split the cost of UWorld. I made a schedule on Osmosis (could use Cramfighters too) and, for example, we would begin studying with Neurology for 5 days. Then after Neurology, we would go onto the next system which for […]

Hey guys, some of you might know my story from Step 1 prep.So this is for the underdogs: the older students/doctors; the disabled; the non-US IMGs; and everyone in between. I did not finish school, I have no school-leaving qualifications (GED to the Americans ). The reason for this is that I contracted meningococcal meningitis […]
For anyone who is STRESSED about step 1, their NBMEs, or just med school life in general; I hope this post finds you and gives you some reassurance. I’m a very average medical student at a very average medical school and spent each day I took an NBME during dedicated stressing over my score and […]
Target audience for this post I wish I had seen a post like this when I was starting step szn cause it would’ve relieved a lot of stress and anxiety. I hope it helps many of you out there. This post is for anyone who didn’t start Zanki/Lightyear/other decks from day 1 and never kept up […]
Hopefully this helps someone. Pre-Dedicated Courses My medical school has a 1.5 year P/F pre-clerkship curriculum that’s not Step-based Did pretty well in most courses (85+) except Anatomy (barely passed) Went to class every day except when I physically couldn’t Step Prep Did not use any Step decks; only used in-house Anki decks made by […]
