I have been in touch with you via email but I wanted to post here so everyone can be benefited from this.

I saw that you offer Step 2 Anki deck. Can that be use for preparing for Step 3? I am scheduled to take my Step 3 in next month or so and feel like some sort of Anki cards can be helpful? Also, I know you might be inclined to say, “oh yea, Step 2 deck is great for step 3 because it’s your product” so any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thank you.

What do you think about paid subscriptions like ambross, lecturio or boards n beyond?
Will you recommend any one of them?

Thank you.

Hey Alec, I have another one for you!

I have a question about embryonic origins. I know there are some that are super important, is there a good way to approach this?

I got a question about the embryonic origin of the spleen today, and of course UWorld listed everything that is derived from the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. I know this may not be a high yield topic, but I figure it’s more of a “gimme” question. Any advice?

Thanks, MLG

So I’m noticing that I’m able to get through all my Anki cards that are due each day…but my number of new cards has severely decreased. I haven’t been able to keep up the pacing of making them as I have going through…if that makes sense. Do you have advice? I’m averaging 10 new cards a day…but my review is anywhere from 150-175 a day. I am using the suggested questions from each lecture and then going back through notes I took during and making them…I feel like I’m doing it wrong. I’m also trying to add any UWorld cards, but those take me a long time to get through…I’m trying to make them more like the ones you’ve given.

Also, I tend to get flustered speaking in front of everyone…I know by this point I should be so much better…but it’s something I’ve defiantly struggled with. Even when I know an answer, it doesn’t come out right. Do you have any advice on how to improve that?

Thanks in advance!

Do you provide the questions we practice with in individual tutoring? Is there a practice nbme to track the progress of the sessions? Is there a preliminary nbme to determine direction for each session?

As an individual tutor will I have access to your pre recorded lectures and the Facebook group like the group sessions? Are the weekly question interpretation sessions (4-12 hours total/month) so you can learn how to questions faster, with higher scores
Recordings of ALL 40+ previous sessions, so you can watch what you want, when you want (more content added every month)
I look forward to your response!

Hi Badra,

Thanks for your message. I updated the Immune System link, and it should be working now. As for the cards, it’s strange that it would give you new cards one day and not the day before. Make sure you don’t have a “custom study session” open, which can take cards away from your normal reviews – if you do have custom study, you can just delete it and the cards will go back to the original decks. Otherwise, if you can give me a screenshot so I can see what you mean, I can help you better.

Yesterday when I did my Anki cards it said I didn’t have any new cards to do and only gave me 82 old cards to review. Today it only gave me 57 review cards and 30 new cards. I have my anki settings set based on the link you sent me. But I feel like I should be getting more cards per day? Is this normal or am I missing something?Also for some reason the immune system session #2 is not accessible on the website. It is listed and has the integration/application questions but the video isn’t there?
