AUA Step 1 Advice Thread

[Bodivine]

Sree,

What a splendid evaluation of the prep for USMLE Step 1!!

I am in my 5th Semester, a transfer student and have had very little guidance as to what to study and what not to. The transfer University was for indigenous graduates and did not train us to pass USMLE, nor practice in the US. With that said, I am printing your suggestion out and using them as I study and plan to take the exam end of October or early November, 2007.

Much Appreciation,

Jacob

What is Kaplan doing here? Isn't AUA/KMCIC suppose to prepare besides you having to apply for Kaplan courses? I would like to know. Thanks.

AUA does prepare you. Kaplan is a good review and a different approach to learning in the case you did not learn it the first time around. About 25% of my class did a Kaplan class. Hope this helps.
