A- ( Getting into the Mood ) :

This will remind you every time you feel that you are down and gives you a boost of adrenaline ! ???

4- After that Start collecting all re-sources ( Toronto Notes , First Aid USMLE step 2 CK, Master the Board ... etc ).
After collecting the re-sources, directly open them all to the page/ chapter of the sub/specialty that you like.
For Example : Urology ..

Now let’s head for the Magic Trick There are 2 ways of preparing for such long exam ( choose one of them ) :
The Horizontal Reading + Q-Bank MCQS
And
The Vertical Reading + Q-Bank MCQS
The Horizontal Reading + Q-Bank MCQS
And
The Vertical Reading + Q-Bank MCQS
The Horizontal Reading is a way of preparation through studying speciality by speciality (like studying Internal Medicine then after finishing you head for Pediatrics ) it’s effective (specially when you study MCQ with each topic but the only draw back that it’s time consuming.
The Vertical Reading is a way of preparation through studying by integrating specialities together ( studying Cardio-Medicine with Cardio-Pedia with Cardiothx surgery )an effective way for a second review when closer to the exam. The dram back is you might miss important topics.
❇️ Once you picked your path of preparation next you should set up your timing ( scheduling and time management ) :
For the first 2 months do : 4 days reading - 1 day off - 2 days MCQS then move on ( last 2 months ) to 3 days reading - 1 day off - 3 days MCQS/ review old exams.
For the first 2 months do : 4 days reading - 1 day off - 2 days MCQS then move on ( last 2 months ) to 3 days reading - 1 day off - 3 days MCQS/ review old exams.
? Regarding practicing MCQS :
In the first 2 months your aim is to do 150 MCQS per week.
After you acquired a good mental stamina ( can sit for 6 hours without distractions ) and approaching the exam ( last 2 months ) you should be able to do 100 MCQS per day.

What is the best Q-Bank to practice MCQS ?
- Always combine 2 Q-Banks ( for example Canada Q-Bank SMLE + USMLE World Step 2 CK ).
USMLE Step CK Q-Bank : يدرسك و يفهمك المواضيع صح
Canada MCCEQ or SMLE Q-Bank : يعيشك جو الامتحان الحقيقي

و اخيرا أعزائي انتبهوا :
لا تقعوا في أخطاء من سبقكم بمذاكرة تجميعات بدون مذاكرة مواضيع الهيئة أو حتى تدريب على اسئلة ( سوف تلجأ لحفظ السؤال و الجواب ) و من ثم النتيجة النهائية تكون الصدمة الكبرى !
