Hi,
I am trying to figure out where I can get the best resources in trying contrive some sort of coherent study schedule for studying for step 1. I know everyone tells you study for the boards as you go through your classes- esp basic sciences first year. Honestly, I wanted to but I had no real time. I made efforts to do it ..but in the end I was worried about the upcoming exam rather than the boards. Well, now I am in my second year and I am trying to figure out the best way to prepare for COMLEX/USMLE. I want to take both exams (well as of today....), and my med school isnt really good with helping students with great ideas on board prep. So I feel completely overwhelmed with trying to begin studying for these exams. I don't want to just pass, I want to do the best that I am capable of doing and want to give it my all, I just need a little direction and organization. So I am asking anyone out there if there is a good website that has good study schedules or outlines on how to organize my time in studying for these exams.

Its September and I plan on taking the boards in June 09, what should I start doing????? Other than maybe calming down.


Please help me!

I would suggest that you just start reading the study plan and experience threads from this year and last year. ie http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=493401

This is probably the best way to get a general idea of how to prepare.

Here's a link to a tried and true plan that has brought many people, including myself, very good results on the boards.
