Final cheat sheets for step 1

Anyone willing to share their cheat sheets that they made to go over before the exam if it's typed up? I think it would be helpful to look over what others who passed the exam included in their step 1 final cheat sheets. It would be a good guide for those who are currently preparing. It would be greatly appreciated.

I don't follow. What's a Step I cheat sheet?

really? lol its pretty obvious

he just wants a sheet that has some of the things people considered to be high yield. something to quickly read over the day before the test.

i personally don't have one, but i honestly think this is something that is tailored to each person. there is so much material, not everyone would even think to include the same information on the cheat sheet, since everyone has different strengths and weaknesses.

that being said, i hope you find one!

If you didn't make one yourself for difficult concepts/high yield facts during studying, I'd just find one of the Goljan notes floating around.

Yea, I just realized that I should be working on one while studying, but I just wanted to see what others included in theirs and if they came up with any good short cuts and drawings to remember HY information.

These were a few things on my whiteboard before I started the exam: pharm equations, biostat equations, common cancer transpositions, lung volume graphs, and sacrum dysfunction mechanic (OMM thingy).

As sharklasers said, it's tailored to the person. Think about the stuff you'd easily forget during the exam and what you are forgetting while taking your practice exams. Make it out of that, but not too long. About half a page of stuff is ideal.

I have like 25 pages of hand written notes... Most of them are just pathways in FA I am struggling to remember and just keep writing them out....

Sorry, they aren't typed up. Make your own, it'll be more focused to what you're missing out on, anyway.
