1) I have YET to see a SINGLE student in the last 6 years utilize question banks to their fullest potential (UWorld, UsmleRx, Amboss, Lecturio, Combank, etc)
2) Going from bottom of your class, to performing at an elite level is NOT abnormal or impossible (if implementing the right strategies)
3) It's 100% possible to obtain 10-20+ publications/research experiences with little to no effort (I literally wrote the book on how to do this!)
4) Lastly, doing more of what you're currently doing is not the answer. If you continue doing what you've always done, you'll continue to get the same results you've always gotten.
5) You absolutely should NOT be passively reading First Aid, watching B&B, or slowly listening through lectures for hours if you want to perform at the highest level.
6) If you understand a few simple laws such as our "UAM[P] Learning Protocol", "Reverse Pyramid UWorld Strategy", and "Scaled Repeatability", you will be up to 43% more efficient with your study time. Imagine having almost 1.5x more free time due to improving your learning speed.
7) Everyone is talking about UFAP, right? We all know that UWorld, First Aid and Pathoma is the backbone of USMLE/Medical School success. But what almost no one understands about UFAP is that the Reverse Pyramid Strategy is the vital key to using it. This changes everything!
It's mind blowing that this type of stuff is not taught to all medical students the day you enter medical school.
The truth is, medical school "advisors" simply don't know these strategies (and the vast majority of medical students don't either!).
It's not your fault you are struggling or have not reached your Potential.
There are simply too many resources, not enough time, and too much conflicting advice out there. It's not your fault that everyone tells you to use Anki / UWorld and it's not working for you.
It's not about inherent intelligence (Hint: I scored in the bottom quartile on my MCAT), it's about strategy and execution of a few key secret study methods. I remember, when I got my MCAT score, I thought I was doomed to poor med school performance. My counselors in med school even told me I shouldn't apply for vascular surgery (nobody from my school had matched into an Integrated Vascular Surgery Residency in my school's 40+ year HISTORY!)
If you knew the EXACT strategies that the top 2% of performers are utilizing, you could boost your USMLE by 20-60+ points, jump to the top of your class, and massively improve your chances of matching into your dream residency.
When you do this:
A) You instantly start shifting your thinking from answering questions as a "med student", to thinking like a test writer/physician -- This is insider info that almost nobody else has access to...I likely wrote some of the questions you have practiced with :)
B) It is much easier to spot the "trap" answers during your test taking.
C) You will gain new confidence. Confidence comes from competence. You do better, you feel better. It's that simple.
