RaNda MarZouk and her Husband MATCH 2019

We -Me and my Husband- couple matched at University of Central Florida/Ocala -Internal Medicine..

Since we first started the USMLE journey, all people were telling us what are you going to do if you end up being apart!!!
We have heard a lot of words and we have been faithful in this verse

"We do not know what to do , but our eyes are upon you"

1- everyone told us couple matching is very hard specially for international graduates.

2-how many interviews will you get as an international graduate separate applicant?

3-what are the odds that of these interviews you will have one or two common ones?

4 - and even if, how many of these the committee will like both of you together and choose both of you??

5 - and when it comes to the rank list, what are the odds that the programs will rank you close to each other, and it will not end up one taken and one not and you both will loose all the chances?!

6 - Most of the evidence and examples before you
They ended up one matched one not or both did not or matched to their last choices !!

7- and the most important thing that couple matching is kind of vague and no too much information is available over there about it.

But God is honest and just looks at hardship! Not to the algorithms !!
I say these words now ! Because I want to remind you all that God does not know impossible and calculations, you just have to work hard and always do your prt and he will complete the work!

Congratulations to those who matched out there 🎉🎉🎉 and those who didn’t have faith and keep going whatever your odds are !

Step 2 CK Experience (280)--vvimp

• Background: Hello everyone. This is Hasan Alarouri, a Jordanian graduate of Jordan University of Science and Technology (2017). I started my dedicated preparation for Step 2 CK during my internship, and the total duration was around 15 months. Owing to how helpful this group had been during my preparation, and the rarity of experiences similar to mine (Step 2 CK prior to Step 1), I thought I’ll have to share my experience with you. • USMLE Scores: Step 1: not done yet Step 2 CK: 280 Step 2 CS: Passed • Self assessment scores: Free120: 96% (5 mistakes); 5 months prior to exam NBME 4: 6 mistakes (offline); 4 months prior to exam NBME 7: 13 mistakes (offline); 3 months prior to exam NBME 6: 5 mistakes (offline); 2.5 months prior to exam NBME 8: 279 (online; 8 mistakes); 2 months prior to exam UWSA1: 286 (10 mistakes); 1 month prior to exam UWSA2: 274 (15 mistakes); 2 weeks prior to exam • Preparation duration and hours studied each day: The total duration was 15.

USMLE Step 1 experience - Mohammed Qussay Al-Sabbagh: 263

I’m Mohammed Qussay Al-Sabbagh, a 6th -year medical student at the University of Jordan, and I have recieved my Step 1 results a few days ago, which’s turned out to be 263, Alhamdulillah! Thus, I have decided to note down and share my experience, as I found reading others’ experiences very useful to me… This experience documentation will be divided into three sections; general take home messages, my USMLE step 1 journey, and my studying sources. I. Big misconceptions “Just because everybody does it, doesn't make it right” In this section, I’ll present some big misconceptions about Step 1 preparation, which drives students to be needlessly worried, rendering them unefficeintly anxious and distressed at all times. Before starting, ALWAYS REMEMEBR that there exists no schedule or technique that fits all kinds of medical students, which calls for the creation of your own personal approaches according to your own capabilities which no one knows for exact except for yourself! Misconc...
