I hear the behavioral sciences questions on step 1 are tricky--especially ethical ones. Any suggestions on how to prepare?
 
Read every piece of literature on medical ethics since 1975. Seriously, there is no way to prepare for them all as some of them are totally off the wall. I read BRS behavioral science which helped a little, but not much. The bulk of them are common sense, but there's always a handful of ones that throw you for a loop.

Qbank's ethics questions are way off base too so you can't rely on those. I had questions covering everything from easy stuff like "should you yell at a patient who doesn't do what you say?" to stuff about capitation fees and the administrative structure of HMOs.
