My school does a very good job teaching to the boards and I very rarely felt like I was learning anything new during my dedicated study period – it was more like I was dusting some cobwebs off of things in my mind that I at one point understood pretty well.Get the most comprehensive USMLE Step 1 Prep available with Kaplan Medical. The very best way to prep for Step 1 is to really, REALLY learn the material in years 1-2. This study method will not yield the same results for everybody. You will absolutely feel like shit right after the exam, but just try to trust the work you put into this beast of an exam. I felt like I needed to do this to keep my energy level high, but others prefer to steamroll blocks at a time. During the test I took a mini-break after each block.
Even with such a high avg I was still nervous as hell going into the exam and was positive they would test me on all the things I had trouble with.Įxam day: get good sleep! Easier said than done, but I luckily didn’t have too much anxiety the day before – I watched movies/tv the entire day. NBME 17 was 10 days out and I ended up with a 264.
I did NBME 13 about three weeks before my exam date and got a 256. I tried doing another pass of my correct answers, but I was consistently remembering all of the questions/answers and didn’t find it helpful, so I stopped after a few blocks. After I finished UWorld, I had about 1.5 weeks left and redid all of my misses and flagged answers. I flagged any UWorld questions where I felt I wasn’t 100% sure on the answer. On top of this, I went on faster passes through FA, focusing specifically on the areas that gave me problems. I have a lot of friends that flew through UWorld just because they wanted to do 2-3 passes of the entire qbank and neglected dedicating the appropriate time in the review stage. IMPORTANT – really take the time to review each question, including your correct ones. I spent about 2 hours reviewing each question block and aimed to do/review 3 blocks per day. This was truly a first pass through UWorld. For the first 5 weeks I focused on meticulously getting through FA/Pathoma and doing the Rx questions that corresponded with that.įive weeks out from the test I started UWorld on timed/random. I had some school commitments for about half of this time, but honestly a lot of that was essentially board prep that our school puts on under the guise of clinical year prep. In total, I had about 10 weeks of dedicated study time.
