Hello, I am an old IMG preparing for step 1. I started preparing 4 months back since I am in a full-time PhD program I can only put in around 2 hrs per day for studies in weekdays and 4-5 hrs on weekends. When I started with UWorld 4 months back, I scored around 40%. That has increased to around 55%. I am trying to stick to FA and UWorld. I have the following questions:
1. Is this optimal progress?
2. Whal else have people been doing to improve?
