That being said, this account is an attempt to alleviate the anxiety that will plague me for hopefully only the next three weeks. Reading past experiences guided me during the...

Have not been getting to do enough questions (200-300 into USMLERX). Zanki is kind of overwhelming and still trying to fit in my class material as well. Where should we be at this stage in regard to step prep? Do I have to get through zanki and a qbank before dedicated? Anyone have some...

Hi folks, One of my friends is an intern at UPMC, and told me his incoming class (2017) Step 1 avg was 257. UPMC's program (like many others) is listed on FREIDA as having an avg of 221-240. How accurate is FREIDA for these numbers? It's particularly important for me, because I'm applying for EM...

Hey everyone. I’m very worried about my step 1 score... I’m taking the test in mid-March and beginning to study (dedicated) in the second week of January. The problem is I have always been below average as a student in medical school and have had to retake 2 exams. My goal score is 230+ because...

I read somewhere that once the block time ends, you can change the answer choice of the question you're on and can't go back. This did not happen in the practise exam I just did at prometric. It just went to the break screen. Has anyone who has done STEP 1 confirm? I know it's a minor point...

I have set up a facebook page called "USMLE Step 1 Mnemonics" dedicated to sharing medical mnemonics useful for both USMLE and COMLEX. I'm new to this website so I assume a mnemonics section exists within this forum but I thought this could be an easier way to post mnemonics. Thanks, David
