indeed, it is long. But the idea is to get rid of the dumb rumors that go aroung once in a while ... its good to hear it if youre in the beginning of your prep. or ddnt go through such stuff before.

Very good stuff, A MUST for people preparing to take the test.

I heard the first hour, the only mistake is that you can actually mark or higlith words.

Some pearls from Dr. Daugherty: For those who don't have time to listen to it all.
  • You are preparing for a test: not for the practice of medicine.
  • You CAN’T LEARN EVERYTHING! Decide where the gap in your knowledge is and learn it.
  • Repetition: is the KEY.
  • Sleep is important.
  • Take short breaks. About every 50 minutes. Walk around. Stretch a bit. Go to the bath room. If the study breaks are getting longer, and you cannot control yourself, BUY A TIMER to control your breaks. When it goes BING after 10 minutes, time to study again! Don’t sit for 4 hrs at a stretch-you basically wasted the last 2.5 hrs!
  • PRACTICE RECALL
  • Summary:
    THE USMLE IS MORE THAN AN EXAM, IT IS A QUESTION:


    DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS? DO YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO THIS? ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

    Every day, ask this question, and need to have a YES as an answer.

    The minute/day you have NO for an answer you are out!The exam is one BIG MOMENT WHERE YOU GET THIS QUESTION again and again. Do you want to do this? Do you really want to do this? The exam makes you answer this 350 times. It is not about how smart you are!

    The simple thing the medical education system is set up is for:
    PERSISTENCE, PATIENCE, AND PERSEVERENCE.

    Prepare as if you're the worst, Perform as if you're the best! As you dream, so you manifest. So, DREAM BIG!! When you face hardship, remember, God never gives you more than you can handle. Success is the best revenge! He's my boyf! And, yea, I'm lying...:-(
