Hi everyone,
I have about 8 weeks left until my step 1 exam except we also have many course exams that are coming up and will detract from my boards studying. Effectively, it cuts down my boards studying time to 6 weeks or possibly even less. I am at a DO school currently signed up for both the step 1 and the Comlex exam. I feel very behind at this point and my school's curriculum has not helped. I wish I could have done things differently starting at the beginning of 2nd year. I know I can do well on the boards as I did very well on the MCAT exam. I think taking only the Comlex exam would be as if I were copping out yet I'm not confident at this point that I can score as well as I would like on the USMLE step 1. So, I'm wondering if anyone has taken the USMLE step 1 in 3rd or 4th year? How feasible is this? I would really appreciate some advice as I am stressed out with the position I am in currently. Thanks!!!
