Anybody know where I can see structured study plans for Step 1 (something like a 3 month plan)? I'm looking to take it at the end of July.
 
I'm sure they're out there, but I personally do not advocate vanilla "study plans" for the simple fact that there is tremendous variation among peoples' strengths and weaknesses. Some rotated through my school, but I found it comical that people would spend more time obsessing over the schedule than actually studying. Just a word of caution........

Hey Frank thanks for the response. I'm just looking for a schedule to get me organized as there is so much info to process. So if any of you have such a schedule or know of a link where I can get one I would really appreciate it.

Hey, I just did a quick google search, try "step 1 schedule" or simular. I got a couple hits for people's 1 month schedule, poke around a bit you might find a 3 month or you could adapt a month to fit your schedule.

Thanks Soleil I'll look into it!
 
hey, am I the only one here who thinks that spending 3 months studying for step I is insane? I spent four weeks and I would say that the last week was probably unnecessary and counterproductive. Your brain really does fatigue after a while, unless you are talking about very few hours a day for 3 months, which is probably a bad idea too -- need to be more intense than that. anyway, thats just my opinion, let me know how it went.

No, you are not alone. I made it about three weeks (studying all day) before insanity crept in...just my 0.02 cents though. good luck on step 1 everyone.
