Hey everyone......got my results today and passed with an 86
My opinion is that Usmle World is the best tool for the actual exam. I read the kaplan notes once for physio, biochem, micro/immuno, neuroscience. Didn't get to read the others.....I used FA for the rest.
I took nbme 1, 2, and 5. My score was very close to my nbme 5 score.
I studied for about 3 months.....I did everything on my own...no course or study groups/partners......some days were more lucrative than others in terms of studying. I completed UW in about 8 weeks doing 50 qs per day.
Well,....I'm relieved that Step 1 is finally behind me. It was quite an experience going through the prep, taking it,..and finally waiting for the results....
Good luck to everyone on their step 1 journey......
