Hey guys, so my school only has a little over a month of dedicated step 1 study time. Everyone I have talked to has advised me not to wait until last minute to take step 1, as I should have at least a little time to relax before starting rotations to avoid burning out.
However, I'm aiming for at least 250 for step (wanting to do ortho). And now that I think about it, isn't a good step score way more important than maybe getting an honor for your pediatrics rotation? Should I use an extra 10 days to prepare for step 1 and just "take it easy" during my peds rotation and walk away with a pass? And maybe even postpone rotations for another 10 days.
Thanks in advance.
