As an M1, I wasn't the BEST in the class and usually got average or one deviation below the average on the exams. I felt this was however due to studying a couple days before the exam but I'm not 100% certain on that. For my M2 year I am planning on studying fairly consistent and keeping at a moderate pace.
My question is, how much of the material from my M1 year will I have to retain or re-memorize for the step 1? I feel that I have retained only a little amount of information and remember bits and pieces and afraid this was due to my procrastination during M1 (i.e. Remembering various muscles/muscular disorders, biochem pathways, etc.) Am I basically fu*ed for the steps or is there still time?
Also, for those who already took step 1, I would really appreciate and would be a great help if you can shed some light on:
1)what you did that helped for the boards
2)what you did that was a waste of time
3)what you should have done
