New to SDN/Question format for Step 1?

[Thaitanium]

Hello all-

I am new to SDN and I will be taking Step 1 at the end of January. I'd like to start communicating with those that are about to take the Step and exchange ideas on studying and approaches to Step 1.

Can anyone tell me how the questions are like with the Step? I hear the questions go like this: symptoms are given...you have to determine what disease it is...once you know the disease, determine the treatment of the disease and the question will ask you something about the side effects of the treatment. So, the questions involve several "steps" before you arrive at the answer. Am I right?

Well, hopefully I can meet some motivated friends here so we can exchange ideas, etc.!!!

Have you considered using Kaplan's QBank? They have lots of questions that are very similar in style and scope to the actual USMLE Step 1.
