17 point increase in Step 1 prep
I started watching HyGuru high yield step 1 playlist and over the course of 2 weeks went from a 62 (form 30) to a 69 (form 32) to a 79 (cbse). The way that he walks through questions and ties together concepts that sound similar was incredible. He helped to shape my thought process for approaching questions. He even discussed how vitals should be used to guide you though the question stem. Overall, I cannot recommend his videos enough (especially his STEP 1 HIGH YEILD PLAYLIST). Even if you use them as a review before bed instead of watching Netflix I know your score will increase!

Thank you, Mary, for sharing this encouraging Step 1 journey. I’m thrilled that the high-yield playlist helped you move from a 62 to a 79 CBSE and strengthened your approach to question stems, including using vitals effectively. Congratulations on that 17-point improvement, and I wish you continued success on exam day!
