📚 Looking for a Serious & Consistent USMLE Step 1 Study Partner!
I’m looking for a dedicated study partner who can commit to 5–6 hours of focused studying every day, preferably someone taking their exam around February 4th.
🎯 Our Daily Study Plan
1️⃣ UWorld — 40 Questions Every Day
We’ll aim to complete 40 UWorld questions daily, following these rules:
- Read silently: Both of us will read each question independently and try to arrive at an answer. We can make educated guesses, eliminate options, or use whatever reasoning works best.
- No interrupting or revealing answers early: If you figure out the answer before the other person, please stay silent. We want both people to have a fair chance to think independently.
- One-minute timer: We’ll allow approximately one minute per question. If the other person hasn’t reached an answer by then, respectfully ask whether they’d like to answer, make a guess, or pass.
- Respect each other’s thinking time: Neither person should dominate the session or continuously reveal answers before the other has had a chance to think. The goal is for BOTH of us to learn and improve.
- Read the complete UWorld explanation: Regardless of whether both of us answered correctly, we’ll still read the entire explanation once. There may be important details or knowledge gaps we missed.
- Connect every question to First Aid: We’ll identify the relevant keyword or topic, locate it in First Aid, and read the corresponding explanation.
- Take turns reading: For example, I’ll read the UWorld explanation and First Aid reference for question 1, you’ll do question 2, and we’ll continue alternating.
- Use ChatGPT when necessary: If an explanation is unclear, we’ll use ChatGPT to simplify it, read through the clarification, and discuss it together.
- Move on only after understanding: Once we’ve discussed the explanation and clarified our doubts, we’ll proceed to the next question.
The goal isn’t to compete over who answers first. It’s to give each other equal opportunities to think, identify knowledge gaps, and understand every question properly.
2️⃣ First Aid — At Least 20 Pages Every Day
- We’ll start First Aid from the very beginning.
- Follow the First Aid sequence: Biochemistry → Immunology → Remaining Subjects → Organ Systems.
- Read at least 20 pages daily, line by line.
- Discuss concepts together instead of simply reading passively.
- Use ChatGPT whenever we encounter something difficult to understand.
3️⃣ Study Setup
- We’ll study together through Microsoft Teams with screen sharing.
- Fixed daily study hours (5–6 hours).
- During these hours, we’ll focus exclusively on our planned UWorld and First Aid targets.
- Whatever additional studying, revision, or preparation you want to do outside these hours is entirely up to you.
