Introduction
This video ironically outlines five strategies guaranteed to result in a poor USMLE score. The speaker presents these "hacks" as a humorous guide to what not to do during exam preparation.
Key Takeaways
Avoid early-day focused study: Don't dedicate the first six hours of your day to intensive studying; save the most important tasks for later when your focus might be less sharp.
Distract yourself constantly: Keep your phone nearby and check messages frequently, hindering concentration and productivity.
Surround yourself with negativity: Associate with people who don't share your goals and lack motivation. This will create an unsupportive study environment.
Neglect physical health and discipline: Avoid consistent gym attendance. The speaker suggests this creates a negative feedback loop, impacting your ability to perform difficult tasks like studying when you don't want to.
Procrastinate using valuable resources: Delay using high-quality study materials like Mehlman PDFs until the last minute; this prevents effective, timely learning.
