Yes. And that is fine. We go to DO schools which are run (mostly) by DOs who have a very limited and narrow understanding of Step 1.
There is a narrative on SDN that Level 1 and Step 1 are similar exams but I don't agree with that. I also do not agree that every DO student should take Step 1. I think it should be encouraged and highly recommended but every OMS-II (around Thanksgiving) should be realistic and introspective, asses their goals, strengths, and weaknesses, and make that decision. It kills me to see dozens and dozens of students (mostly on Reddit, less on SDN), spends thousands of dollars to sign up for the exam, choose a test date, spend hundreds on question banks, only to cancel 3 weeks before the test because they haven't passed an NBME yet.
