I'm studying for step 1 and I do a set of questions after studying a particular subject. But I can't seem to get a high enough score on the questions. I'm beginning to wonder if my technique is all wrong or if I'm not memorizing enough, I don't know... Can somebody please share there studying techniques with me? Thanks.

Helpful thread. We can do this! Just have to concentrate. Should I turn my phone off? I think reading this thread helped me realize, its about being focused which is easier than staying focused at about the 10th hour.

Hi Tommy

I am sending this to you and to the punisher. I have taken two practice exams this week (NBME form1 - 430/201), (Uworld 430/201). Exactly the same!! My exam is now on sept 9th. i have gone through goljan audio, first aid, but only about 500 uworld questions. I start clerkship monday and have a 1 hour drive each way and would really like audio to listen to to study while i am driving. Can you please let me know what you suggest so i can download or buy it.

Also, Can you suggest any other strategies for these next three weeks?

If there is anything i can do to pass on your generosity to others, i will....
thanks
anthony

This post is over 2 years old. It's on top because it's a sticky. And it's stickied because it has valuable info in it. but the OP will not reply to your posts because he's probably not on valuemd anymore. So if you want your questions answered find someone more recent posts like with in the last week or so.
