Failed USMLE Step3: Insights & Lessons

In this video, I share my personal experience of failing USMLE Step 3 and what I learned from it. As a medical student who failed STEP1 and now a Psychiatry Resident, I know how daunting the USMLE exams can be, and failing can be a huge setback. But I believe that failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. In this video, I'll share my story of how I approached USMLE Step 3, what went wrong, and what I would do differently if I had to take it again. I'll also share some valuable tips and strategies that I wish I knew before taking the exam, including how to manage test anxiety, how to create an effective study plan, and how to make the most of your NBME practice exams. Whether you're preparing for USMLE Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3, this video is for you. So, if you're looking for real-life insights and practical advice on how to pass the USMLE exams, then keep watching.
