USMLE Step 1 Score

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone,

I've been a silent observer of this forum for a while. I just received my score, so I thought that I’d post a few stats and some tips.

MCAT – 25
Qbank – 76%
Released items – 78%
Blackwell – 80%
NBME Form A – 660
NBME Form B – 620

USMLE Step 1 Score: 240/97

Tips:
1) The USMLE tests general concepts thoroughly, so the best advice that I can give you (which has already been stated) is to prepare well throughout the first and second year of medical school. Cramming everything into the last 1 or 2 or even 3 months will not cut it. You NEED to build a knowledgeable foundation of disease processes from the start.
2) Visit this and other similar type of forums to get advice from other people and read about their experiences.
3) 2 bibles for the Step 1: BRS Pathology (I read it 5 times) and First Aid (I read it 3 times). I memorized most of the details in these two books plus all my annotations.
4) Physiology is a big part of the exam. It’s all about understanding the concepts. I would say there’s no one best book for physiology. I used Kaplan and BRS.
5) PRACTICE QUESTIONS PRACTICE QUESTIONS PRACTICE QUESTIONS => the key to doing well ……
6) Finally, relax during the test. I got so stressed out during my first block, I couldn't think. Luckily, I was able to relax for the others.
7) Good Luck future doctors!!!!
