    No wonder you got 272 in step 2 . Your advice is really practical and clearly you’re speaking from a lot of experience and probably some failures
  • @prisce7642
    “Just because you can go 12 hours a day doesn’t mean you should” Needed to hear that. 😪 Great video!
  • @cherrie1763
    AWESOME ADVICE!! Those 25 min Pomodoro never works for me. When there's a break, i felt being interrupted. And if I do take a break, it's hard to start again. Could you also do a motivational video of how to maintain a healthy life during long test prep? Like i know I need to work out, but I always don't have the motivation for it. But med school really has been given me back pain
  • @ayeshakhan6795
    Thanks for making this video! It's so helpful and honest. I've been struggling with studying longer hours, definitely going to try the flow method.
  • Thank you for your help in this journey! We all appreciate your effort! 🇨🇺
  • @MDPowerhouse
    So many people always recommend the Pomodoro technique but I really like your take on it. I second what you said about changing your setting to keep focused. Some really excellent points!
  • @sashak6798
    Thanks for this!! I always feel guilty doing things I enjoy when studying for step, everyone else around me seems to be studying 10+ hours but I know I need to give my brain a break. Always more productive and scoring better on questions after that!
