I heard from an upperclassman today that second year penn med students have taken the boards already and know what topics are tested heavily this year. she also said that there were 4 forms of the test that were given each year and so if you could talk to these students you could find out what might be emphasized. Is that true? and if so, can any penn med students help us out and tell us what they thought was emphasized?

of course, I understand all about competition for residency and all but being students at penn you probably don't have to worry about someone like me or basically many other medical students who will be graduating with you

I thought penn med students take step one during third year (and finish all the basic science in 1.5 years).
