How I Answer and Review USMLE Step 1 Practice Questions (250+)

In today's video, I go through a USMLE practice question. When reading through the question stem, I like to highlight information that helps me build a differential. For example, a patient presents to their primary care physician complaining of a dry cough. I would highlight "dry cough". I then highlight information that helps narrow my differential. That could be sick contact exposures, history of asthma/COPD, medication history, etc. I have found that most answer choices can be eliminated by highlighting this way. When I review the question, I go through every answer choice and think of a question that it would be the correct answer. If I was unfamiliar with the information, I would make a flash card.
