First off, congrats to all those who worked so hard to do well who are receiving great news today.
I am a student who will be taking Step 1 late, and have 4 weeks left to prepare.
Seeking advice from those who have taken the exam already:
What would you do differently?
So far, my approach has been to push through Doctors in Training videos alongside First Aid. I am also listening to the Goljan lectures, alongside his review books, images, and audio transcripts. PathCards, MicroCards, and PharmCards are also coming back into play. I am debating whether the NMBE practice tests are worth the $45, considering that you don't get to review the test with answers to see how you did, just a score report that would likely tell me I have a long ways to go.
Any advice for making this last month most productive would be much appreciated. I've been utilizing First Aid Q&A and Lange Q&A for practice questions, and have a bunch of Goljan questions as well. Is it worth signing up for USMLEWorld for a month? I know I'm late getting on the ball compared to most of you, but I've unfortunately been dealing with some health issues that have prevented me from fully applying myself to this exam. I've been studying hard, don't get me wrong, but not in a boards-focused way until 2 weeks ago.
Would love to hear from you, either by private message or by a reply to this thread...
