hey all i wanted to get some thoughts on my plan of studying for step 1. I am currently a second year in endocrine block and yet to cover heme/onc (after december break)
currently going through B&B and pathoma by organ system and taking detailed notes for each video for the system we are currently learning AND one other system already covered in year 1 (i did neuro last block and am doing cardio now)
I am doing Zanki for systems already covered to keep at the forefront of my memory (currently 50 NEW cards for GI & renal daily)
doing 5-15 questions a day from AMBOSS and Kaplan on the subjects already covered (already about 600 Q deep, maybe more and hope to hit about 5K)
over december break i plan to review all of the notes i made from these videos and school notes and really memorize them while continuing Zanki and Qs
I will also probably take a full length sometime at the end of the break (and take it with a grain of salt for the material not learned yet)
I then plan to start UWorld after break and get through 2 passes of it before the actual exam
thoughts on this, anything else i should add or change. I have been periodically doing some studying just for micro and pharm but i very much do not like sketchy so I have been studying micro as I go
Note i did post this in the step forum but there was no response so remove if not allowed
