CT's and MRI's in Step 1

Members don't see this ad.

I heard from one of my friend who took the step 1 recently about 2 months ago that step 1 is now asking lots of MRI, CT , slides without any description, ECG . One of her friend also got the same kind of questions with different graphs [ don't know from where ] , CT, MRI and ECG .

They were saying that USMLE has come up with this new trend since Jan 2004 . Also that the questions that appear on USMLE is not like kaplan Qbank .

I'll be taking my step I soon in 2 weeks time . Please share your latest experiences as I am really panicking now . Although I have done Qbank, Kaplan notes , Qbook, IV bank , Goljan , webpath , I'm still worried .

Hi DesiDoc,


Ya, I took Step 1 last year in June. There were no EKG's, but I did have two MRI's. One was of a knee asking me what was wrong (I honestly can't remember the answer, but it was pretty straight forward) and one was of the pelvis and again I chalk it up to senility...can't remember what it was asking.

There were only a few imaging questions like this. Don't waste valuable time studying up on these when you can spend quality time on path and pharm.

Enjoy and good luck!!!
