hi all,
I'll preface this by saying I'm a Canadian med student and intend to write the usmle only for the purposes of keeping fellowship options open, but I figure if I'm going to write it I may as well put in the effort to do well. I'm planning on writing some time mid-august, which I know is a lot of time left, but I also was going to work full-time this summer, meaning not nearly as much concentrated study time near the exam as most of you have discussed. I'm wondering if this is feasible? If so, when should I start studying? I find our curricula don't focus nearly as much on stuff needed for usmle prep, so any input would be appreciated.
 
If you want to do well on the USMLE, drop the job. If you want to get a passing score, then you may want to take a diagnostic and see where you stand then assess from there.
 
Drop the job... thats like a pre-vet saying they want to take the mcat just in case.. you ll probably study for a week and then drop the idea all together.
