If anyone could give their valuable advice to me, I'd highly appreciate it. 3 months until my big day of appearing for step 1. I went through Kaplan lectures once, went through fa once and did both Goljan and Pathoma thoroughly one time each. I can't say I remember all I studied. That would be crazy. But, I have now planned to do only uworld and fa for the remaining time. I will look into concepts from books or the internet if I feel dizzy understanding some of them. Pharma and micro are more about memorizing so I have left them to study from fa and uworld only.
PS I'm an IMG.
I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks.

Hey there, I'm also an IMG. I took step 1 August 2014 and got a 235. I don't know what your goals are, but if you are ok with a 235 I may be able to give some ok advice.

How are your NBME scores? Have you taken any timed, online practice NBMEs? If not, you should do one as soon as you can. They're $50 and a great resource for assessing where your strengths and weaknesses are, and if you are close to ready for the exam.

If you're doing well on your NBMEs after all that prep you did, then it sounds like you're in a good spot and should definitely stick with questions and FA. If your NBME is low (less than 220) even after all that prep, then you may benefit from a thread that I posted earlier. If your NBMEs are high, then stick with your plan and move forward! Everyone has their own method and ideas of how things should be done - what matters in the end is how you decide to actually do it.
