How "board-relevant" is MS1 material?

How much of the material that we learn from 1st year is relevant to the Step1? From your experience, does the coverage seem much more weighted to 2nd year?

For all those about to take it ... best of luck.

It depends of course on what courses your school has in the MS1 year.

For me there's more MS2 material, but the MS1 material is substantial.

If you're weak in Physio, I'd suggest working on building a good understanding of the subject. It will help you in Path as well as on boards.

A lot of my test involved first year material: biochem, neuro, and physio

I didn't see much embyro/anatomy/histo
