Focus on learning your coursework now. Hammer in the basics. Worry about Step 1 during your 2nd year.

I doubt you'll be learning a lot of pathology or clinical correlates so you can't even study for Step 1 right now even if you wanted to.

If you want to match into a residency here in the states, I would strongly recommending trying to transfer to a college in the states and eventually going to a US medical school as according to the latest NRMP only 40%-ish non-citizen IMGs actually matched....more US med schools are opening = tough time for IMGs to match
