TMJ 070: How To Get Better Grades In Medical School Using Just One Tip

11/19/20 • 8 min

How do you get better grades in medical school with just one tip!?

Med students use many strategies to study, memorize and prepare for tests and rotations to up their grades. Some listen to lectures and take down notes, and call themselves prepared. Others use apps and other tools like Anki and flashcards to get them ready. And still others look for inspirational boost from a video or a quote to keep them going for the aspired 4.0 GPA.

These study motivational techniques are great and work a lot better than others. But if you want to drill down to just one tip to help you get better grades, then, learn how to get comfortable in failing and use a timer.

This is a med school study tip that I used to help me graduate with honors, and has helped my students improve their grades. It may sound strange or feel uncomfortable at first, as with most new strategies, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction to better retention, understanding of the lessons and higher grades!

The best part about this is; you are not too late or even too early to start using this so if you’re a pre-med you can do this too

Check out this one tip to help you get better grades in med school on this episode of the TMJ show!

TMJ 069: Studying For Step 3 Prep, Overview, Study Schedule

We’re finally talking about Step 3; an overview on what it is, my study schedule and more!

The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 3 is the last test you have to take to become a licensed medical doctor in the United States. It definitely sets itself apart from Step 1 and Step 2 with the pressure of it being the last test standing on your way to get that converted M.D. In Step 3, you’ll also get a mix of case simulation and multiple-choice exams which can be quite daunting.

In a few weeks, I am finally taking the test and I will walk you through my thoughts, preparation and experience through it all. This will be the start of a video series where we’ll talk about everything Step 3 so you’d know what to expect and become better prepared for it

I have started laying out a plan, a process and my initial thoughts on how to tackle this. I have a schedule and UWORLD ready, but things can definitely change especially while balancing my studies with work in the hospital. When that happens, this series will cover them too and explain why.

TMJ 071: How To Be More Efficient On Your Rotations - Medical Students And Residency

How do you become more efficient on your rotations as a med student and eventually, a resident!?

Rotations, especially for med students new to it, can be really stressful, overwhelming, time-consuming, and many other levels of discomfort. But don't worry, you are not the only one to feel the same way. I wasn't 100% perfect either on my first set of rotations and I can tell you as a resident, not all residents are as organized and ready as some young med students and even premeds may think.

Because of all that, I know how to avoid or better prepare yourself for some of the common mistakes and points of discomfort that arise early during your clinical rotations.

Before giving suggestions, I want to make it a point to share some of the common mistakes because sometimes the first step to appreciating the solutions is to address that there is a problem

Learn how to better plan and prepare to be more efficient on your next clinical rotations in this episode of the TMJ Show!
