Strategy for easy PASS ✅

Do the following things:

1. Use stopwatch to study. So let’s say you have 4-12 hours of free time in a day. When you sit for studying open stopwatch on phone and start timer and stop timer when you get up for any interruption. This will show you real image of how much effort you are putting in for the exam. Do this everyday and your inner self motivation and self discipline will kick in. And if you are the one who really wants to do it then my friend you will be able to do it.
2. Now that we know how to tackle time let’s talk about strategy as the right strategy will make things easy for you. So start from 3-7 FA pages in a day and slowly run up-to 15-20 pages in a day but remember it’s a marathon EVERYDAY YOU GOT TO DO THOSE MINIMUM 3 FA pages. (When I say do FA pages I mean you literally have to first understand them by watching my video and then rote memorize (Ratafy) those FA pages. So for strategy on how to understand and then rote memorize follow these steps with each system.

1️⃣ Goto OffBeat Medicine YT and open playlists - now select the system you want to start with. Let’s say you clicked on CVS. Now start CVS playlists and try to understand the topics.
2️⃣ After watching each small section in the video pause video and now read/memorize those concepts from your own FA book.
Follow this and get done with full system. It will take time but don’t worry solid foundations can’t be build in a day. Just be persistent.
3️⃣ Now once you get done with 1 full system now its the time to test that knowledge and fill in any gaps. So now start UW of the system that you just got done with and do 40-80 questions per day. You will find these questions to be very easy and very doable. Your hard-work and persistence is paying off so pat yourself on the back.
4️⃣ Repeat the process till you get done with all FA. Now you deserve an easy PASS.
5️⃣ Take self assessment and repeat any system again if there’s any weakness. Once all weak areas are tackled, book the exam date.
6️⃣ Finish FA in last 15 days and go for exam.
7️⃣ Come out of exam with confidence. You have done your part now ask God for help and success in the exam, ask for easy pass. Surely you will pass with ease. Good luck 🫡

Hey YouTube Fam,

We're excited to announce something special — and we want you to be a part of it!

We’re looking for individuals to create daily “Study with Me” videos and help us build a powerful, focused, and uplifting study environment for our global USMLE community.

Let’s be real — one of the biggest challenges IMGs face is the lack of a solid environment — a space where everyone’s pushing toward the same goal. And we believe that the right environment can change everything. It can turn procrastination into productivity, isolation into teamwork, and goals into reality.

That’s why we’re launching this initiative — to close that gap and bring everyone together. No matter where you are in the world, this is your chance to be part of a virtual classroom full of energy, accountability, and shared ambition. This isn’t just studying — this is a movement.

So if you’re ready to inspire, to be consistent, and to help others thrive, Hit us up! Message us on WhatsApp or shoot us an email — we’re excited to hear from you.

Best regards,
The OffBeat Medicine Team 🍀

This work is dedicated to my parents. Their quiet sacrifices, unconditional love, and unwavering belief in me shaped the person I am today. Offering USMLE guidance, teaching, and helping students — all for free — is not just an act of philanthropy, but a tribute to them — to their selflessness, their values, and the legacy of goodness they passed on. May they be rewarded for every act of good that comes from what I do.
