Step 1 IMG Study Schedule

[cele45]

I am a 3rd year IMG and planning to take Step 1 in late 2016. I have been following the forum for a long time. Following our school curriculum, we are currently going through pathology, microbiology, pharmacology. These will be finished in a year. I am starting to really start studying for Step 1. So here is my plan. I would really love suggestions and clarification. As you can see I have plenty of gaps.

2 hours/day (I do need to study for school)
HY/Snell Neuroanatomy
Anatomy and embryology - go through old school lectures/Snell/HY?
Physiology - We used to read Guyton&Hall cover to cover. Or should I straight go through Constanzo and BRS? Because I feel like I should start from the beginning.
Biochemistry and Molecular - Lippincott with HY?
Behavioral - BRS - On my own as they don't teach it here
Biostatistics - HY

Concurrent studying
Path - We need to cover Robbins for tests. So Goljan alongside each chapter.
Micro - Levinson is our textbook. Review book?
Immunology - HY
Pharm - This is where I am confused. How do people study pharm? This semester has been a mix of course notes with Lippincott.

Question banks - When do I start them?

Everyone uses Q Banks differntly but what is important is not to do the same questions over and over until you memorize the answers and feel like you are ready because of this. It might help to have a free medical advising session on your USMLE game plan.
