The craziness of exam week started as soon as we got back from winter break and after the unit exam on Monday we had the microbiology shelf exam that Friday. The first three weeks of 2018 have been stressful and overwhelming. Sketchymicro is at the very least a solid foundation that'll still help you answer more than half of the uworld questions and at least some of your actual usmle questions. Qbanks and first aid will fill in the rest of your knowledge.Regarding this, how many sketchy path videos are there?SketchyPath includes 150+ videos covering high-yield pathology topics for the USMLE Step 1 and pre-clinical years: Cardiology, Pulmonology, Endocrinology and more!Sketchy is absolutely worth it. If you're a visual learner it's one of the best resources you can use. The easiest way to learn microbiology is with SketchyMicro! You'll have 101 videos on your side that easily lay out everything you'll need to know for your next micro exam.Answer (1 of 3): i just like sketchy microbiology, its the best of all, but other subject i didn’t like, i prefer to use it by yourself and see if it work for you or not.
Sketchy Micro Videos How To Go About
I'm pretty much obsessed with this program because it's the main reason I survived mirco! What’s great about it is that you don’t feel like you’re studying because you're watching cartoons. Sketchy has videos for microbiology, pharmacology, and pathology that uses cartoon stories and pictures to teach each topic. With microbiology now being a thing of the past, I just wanted to offer some advice on how to go about studying for the course in med school and talk more about the resources I used to make it through another crazy unit!If you haven’t heard of it yet you will surely hear about it when you start school, but my main resource for microbiology was Sketchy Micro, which is part of the larger Sketchy Medical program geared towards USMLE Step 1 preparation. We pretty much covered the majority of the topics throughout the unit, but for this exam you had to rely a little more on outside resources such as First Aid and question banks.
I have a pretty short attention span, so If i can learn something in 15 minutes I'm happy. The majority of videos were short, ranging from 5-15 mins. Tons of reviews already exist online about Sketchy, so I won't waste time going into great detail. Below are some of my likes and dislikes about the program: It’s scary how much you can remember because of a video about a bakery that seems like it would have nothing to do with Streptococcus pyogenes (see below).

My plan didn't always work out this way because school gets crazy and sometimes I just wanted to sleep in! This helped me start making connections to what was in the videos and turned lecture into a “review”. I would watch the relevant videos for the lecture as a preview of what bugs would be discussed in class. They also have workbook you can purchase on Amazon and Etsy, but I chose to just print out the pictures on my own.Here’s how I scheduled watching the videos:
I also tested my knowledge by prompting myself and writing down everything I knew about a particular bacteria, fungus, parasite or virus. Once my notes were organized- I like to use tables that I make myself or that classmates share with everyone- I would test my knowledge of the pictures and the details of lecture notes using Anki flash card decks. Then I watched the videos again paying close attention to the details I may have missed the first time.
I really took the time to read the answer explanations for the questions I got wrong and added any new notes to First Aid for later reference.Some people like to binge watch a large amount of the videos over the weekend or whenever, but I do enough of that with Netflix. To ensure you actually know the material. For both the unit exams and the shelf, I did practice questions provided by my school and UWorld questions. The most important part of studying any subject is to do a lot of practice questions. Practice, practice, practice.
