Early board preps

[IntroNiche89]

I just started my second year of med school and I'm already thinking about the MCCQE. I am trying to prepare this early.i tried Anki, those flashcards thing, but it's not really working for me right now.

I want to know what will be the best way? Any advice from those who've been through it would be amazing! Thanks!

I totally get the anxiety about the MCCQE especially once you've started second year!
But honestly, don't stress to much about it right now!
Your best bet for the QE later is to really nail your current coursework.
Focus on understanding the material deeply, not just memorizing.
For actual QE prep down the line, I found question banks way more helpful than flashcards for figuring out what you know and don't know, and how to apply it.
Good luck, you got this!

If Anki isn't working, focus on case based stuff like CanadaQBank or UWorld Step 2 to build clinical reasoning
