I would occasionally add cards to my main deck based on topics covered in Q-banks that I hadn’t seen before but seemed plausible to show up on the real exam.Ī few months before dedicated, I completely dissociated from the school curriculum so I could complete the remaining BnB videos as quickly as possible. I also found it helpful to add more images to the LY notes (either diagrams or histology slides from Google searches). To supplement LY, I downloaded multiple of the other top Step 1 decks and would search for related cards to move into my main LY deck if I came across a topic I knew wasn’t covered in LY. I am obviously very happy I committed to LY, but it is not quite as complete as Zanki (especially for physiology, etc.). I spent a lot of my time looking up concepts that I didn’t understand and taking time to make additional notes on the LY cards. For virtually every day second year, I would complete all of my reviews (for all previous material in a random order) first thing each day then chip away at the videos I had left to watch for whatever course we were currently covering at my school. Over the summer, I went back and did the BnB videos for the material already covered in our curriculum (biochem, pharmacology, biostatistics, etc.). From then on, I used LY/BnB almost exclusively to learn the material needed to pass my organ system blocks. The cards in LY work amazingly well in allowing me to instantly recall key facts and associations in a variety of settings rather than just cue off the flashcard itself. I found that the workflow of watching a Boards and Beyond (BnB) video then immediately unsuspending those cards in LY let me learn that information very quickly and wasn’t that hard to do all day from a stress-perspective. Cloze deletions don’t work that well for me so I switched to Lightyear (LY) after using Zanki for my first organ block at the end of my 1st year. As you may be noticing from this post, I am not especially well organized or really a great student in general so literally the only thing that made med school manageable was being able to break such an overwhelming amount of material into discrete chunks and having an automatic way to make sure that I was periodically reviewing old material. I only started using Anki towards the end of my first year after floundering and doing very poorly in classes up to that point. I had a fairly weak background in science coming into medical school, but it is probably worth noting I got 132 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills subsection of the MCAT. My goal for the first two years was exclusively to do well on Step 1 so I tended to be solidly above average in courses where the school’s curriculum lined up well with board-relevant materials and below average in courses that did not line up. Our curriculum is true pass-fail, and our exams are scantrons and frequently not reflective of board style or content. Thank you, u/Lightyear2k, for this phenomenal resource.įor context, I go to a US allopathic medical school normally ranked around 10-20. Since Lightyear is a relatively new and somewhat unproven deck, I just wanted to provide some anecdotal evidence that using it worked well for me. YelloW General Surgery ABSITE Review Deck
