Honestly, we have a terrific curriculum at Mizzou, so I wasn't too worried about re-learning the stuff we've gone over in the first 2 years.
But...I'll tell you what I did.
I memorized First Aid. Literally.
I dismembered the binding of the book and made notecards by scanning in all the pages on my computer (sounds tedious, but it works for me.) I would suggest just memorizing it any way you know how. Boy does it make a difference!
I read BRS Pathology and Physiology 2 times.
I did and re-did all of the Board Simulator Series questions on the computer (the disk costs 100 dollars, and you don't need the disk to run the program...) There are something like 3000 questions there, and even though they're not in the same 'format' as the USMLE, they help tremendously. It's all about reviewing and finding your weaknesses.
All of this was done in 4 weeks. No kidding. Just 4 weeks.
Now, there's a NBME practice test that my school gives in February, and I barely passed that. I think passing is "60" or something, and I got a "61." Regardless of what the scores are, I was only 1 point above passing.
Step I seems like a monster to study for, but it's really not. It's quite managable, as long as you stick with a limited number of texts and get to know them intimately.
I hope I answered your question.
