I was wondering how you guys prepared for COMLEX Level 1 during your first year of medical school? I am totally new to all this so any tips help🙂 Thanks!🙂

I noticed I wrote this on the wrong board🙂 Sorry!

Study for the classes you're in now, and build a solid foundation to start real board prep next year.

It's worth familiarizing yourself with First Aid, but any hardcore board prep first year isn't a good use of your time.

Some people use Firecracker for spaced repetition of topics you've learned so far-- for me, it was time-consuming and I did slightly better on my exams when I started ignoring it, but I may pick it up again as an OMS-2 and see if if I can pull it off.
