I just took these...wow. Path especially seemed two steps beyond usmle world. Anyone know how these compare to Step 1?

Anyone? Just took the pharm shelf that seemed more worldesque.

i took the path, micro and pharm shelfs in april and thought they varied. I thought Pharm was very doable same with Path. The micro shelf was very hard and i took a beating on it.

I've taken all of those shelf exams before I started hitting UWorld hard, and my god, I'd rather take those exams three times over than have a block of UWorld for Step I. Most of the questions on those exams require only recall or next logical leap; rarely did I see a triple-jump question. UWorld, however, is like 50% double and triple jump.

We definitely didn't take the same path test then. UW was extremely easy compared to my Path NBME. I have done extremely well in path this year and though the final was the hardest test I have taken in my life.
