I am an IMG and I've been studying for step1 for more than month now. It has basically been kaplan biochem. And did some physiology before that.
My problem is my speed is very slow, I have collegues, who manage to get subjects covered with in a few days and here I am taking a more or more to cover a single subject.
I've always been kind of slow with my reading. I can get through anki decks just fine, but the problem is, since I'm an IMG I kind of have to start from stratch and hence kaplan. Otherwise I was okay with anki.
Another thing I do is I basically turn kaplan videos into very elaborate notes. I feel like if I don't write it down, I'll forget it.
Is there a way around this, an effective strategy or something.
It is so frustrating I was supposed to do 3 chapters of carb metabolism in a day and it turned into a week.
I've personal problems here and there but I don't want to waste so much time because at this rate, it'll take forever to take step 1 and I want to take it in march 2019.
