:confused: pls help
just don't understand when to go for it .i have just completed anat,physio,b.chem.should i go for it now or should i wait for some more time.
and how to prepare if i should take it up now?

hi i am also from india but curently in minnesota sailing in the same boat as yours . am planning to take step 1 in april . where did u read anatomy , physio and b.cham from and which other books do u plan to follow ?

Step 1 covers much more than the classes you've already taken, including microbiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, ethics, and behavioral science. I don't know what year in med school you are, but US med students take the test after completing all of the basic science years (after completing the 2nd year).

thanx for being so kind friend,i m still in the second year of med school and i will be completing the subjects u said by next yr .have u taken the step 1 exam as yet.if u have ,can u pls guide me thru my preparation if u have time off course.as to wht and how many books should i go for?how much time do u dedicate for it?i willbe really grateful.well thanx again bye for now.
