Dr toledo and PAC, wow my exam was NOTHING like yours...man you guys got shafted. Mine had a lot of behavioral science instead of Molecular.I had more Biochem than Molecular.the biochem was pretty good. FA was the way to go for me. Anatomy and Neuro was strightforward. There were alot of questions that were definitly multidisipline. Esp. pharm+biochem questions. Micro was easy but so few, more virology. A few fungi, a couple of parasit.Most of my test was path. Not hardly any phsyio..more pathophys questions.Most of my BS questions were the damn quote questions...some were tough, 1 defense mech.Cant remember much else right now but if anyone has any questions..just holla. I definitely feel like i passed(hard to tellhow well with that one). i guess its better to say that i dont feel like a failed..I think it was a little tougher that COMLEX.

PAC and Dr.T, you guys got a bad deal, sorry you guys had a tough time..Good to have this done with.

Oh yeah i guess ill post what i used...
Qbank Avg=73% all random 1 time through
First Aid
Kaplan Comlex review
BRS Path/Phys
HY BS/Neuro
Step Up
MRS

i definitely thought that the q bank was worth it! I didnt take any of the NBME assesments..

Congrats on having what sounds like a nice exam! I am sorry if I got you worried about your exam based on some bad questions on mine. After thinking about it, mine probably had 30-40 bad mol bio questions but overall everything else was pretty fair. I don't think that one should really judge how they did based on how they felt after the exam. I have honestly never once done as poorly as I have always felt after every exam in my entire life. And the USMLE is just one of those exams that you feel terrible about when you are taking it, and even more so after you are done. But you all have to remember, that you can miss about 100 questions of the 350 and you are ROCKING!!! If you ever took an exam in medical school where you missed 30% of the questions you would have felt like utter crap! At least I would have. So don't start cursing until you get your scores back!! And hey, you can always do family medicine like me and so it only matters that you pass

Congrats on getting the bad boy done! Good for you that you feel like it was pretty doable...most likely representative of your being well prepared rather than luck. Well done!

william, foxy ,stinger ,pac

thanks guys..its true we have been seeing alot of reports everyday..This forum has been so awesome.it has provided me with some valuble info.im sure everyone will do well..
being done with that test yesterday felt kinda anticlimatic..i guess because i had already taken another big test like comlex last week..anybody else feel that way...
on my sheet that they print out at the end, it told me that it would be like 6 weeks before scores comeback...i thought it was like 4??maybe were in the big exam period and it takes longer??anybody know..

good luck foxy on your test..

Yeah, it's been posted on the usmle website that if you take the step 1 exam between May 26 and the end of June, the earliest date you can expect your scores is July 14. This is mainly due to the large volume of test taking going on at the time
