I will be an MSII in the fall and was wondering when I should start preparing for STEP 1. Do most people start during the school year or wait and study during their ~month off after MSII?
marr said:I'm starting 2nd yr next week but I'm not studying for step I until spring of next year. Path is taught this semester along with micro,immuno,viro,parasitology at LSU-NO so it doesn't make much sense to study for step I until you have these classes under your belt. I will probably just reviewed first year stuff this fall while concentrating to do well with path and such.

If not, buy some other recommended review books for path and pharm and annotate them as you go along through the year. This way most of the "busy work" should be done by the time you start studying and you can spend the majority of the time doing questions.
