Can you please do video on how you make coherent arguements through questions and how to tackle questions and review them in your next video. You can use amboss qbank since they don’t have problem with copyright. Like for example, you can do 10 questions, walking us through your thought process and how you review missed questions. Most people don’t talk about the test taking strategies. This will be super helpful. 🙏🏿

@alexisratsch7265 3 года назад

Thanks for all the excellent content! If you don't mind I have a few questions from your Step 1 experiences that you share: 1) You mentioned that you wished you had focused on doing questions during your internship along with BnB videos. Would you have watched the videos just to support the difficult questions in a random way (as the questions) or would you have used them in a system-based fashion and watch them all? 2) Did you do the BnB questions for each video? 3) You highly recommended Amboss library to search for difficult topics. Is it much better than BnB (videos and slides) for this purpose (which is what I've been doing recently)? Thanks again for all your help and advice. All the best!

@SantiagoAQ 3 года назад

Hey Alexis thanks. 1. I would definitely try to use the videos in an as needed basis (First the questions and then the videos to understand the content if I see the need). However, if anybody sees this comment, I think that either way you do it (Old fashioned system-based way, or with the qbanks first approach) I think that as long as you start questions early on you'll do fine with either one. 2. I did not to any BNB questions (Didn't have access). 3. Both are awesome but different. The AMBOSS Library is superior when it comes to efficiency (In a couple of minutes you can answer pretty much any question you may have). BNB Videos are a bit lengthier, but are superior when it comes to breaking down logical explanations on difficult/complex subjects. Personally, I would go to the BNB videos when dealing with subjects completely new to me and use the AMBOSS library to solve specific questions that come up as I solve the qbanks
