Completely agree. Took notes going over the books for a month and got the same pitiful score on a practice test. Did 120 q a day for 2 weeks and my score improved by 30 on the next practice test

True and clearly stated thoughts on step exam study strategy ! Love it. Thank you for motivating me

I have immense respect for your study techniques.I always love when people come with unorthodox way of studying and manage to best all the others going by rule book.I Never liked taking notes,never liked highlighting,never made flash cards,never read those humongous texts(except Robbins),but I always doubted myself if I was on wrong path. You are saviour,a lot to learn from you

Very informative and helpful video Santiago. You are so generous to share your personal experience with the USMLE and help dozens of medical students perform better on the Step 1. I am very impressed by your method of studying . It is very original and I am not sure why I didn't come up with that idea. Guess it never crossed my mind. You are making studying so much easier and with less headaches. Looking forward to trying this method. I hope it works for me too. Thank you so much for posting this you are awesome.
