I was wondering what peoples thoughts are about preparing for step 1 by starting by doing questions? I have not studied/reviewed all topics but have realized I learn more and better by doing questions and then going back and learning that material. It seems more active and I tend to retain it better since its usually involves a clinical vignette / patient. Thoughts please? Is this a wrong way of studying? I have 5 months and was going to go through three qbanks. TIA!

That's an excellent way of preparing if you know your basics.
There is no cookie-cutter formula for everyone. Just prepare the way which works best for you.

Thanks! My basics can definitely use some more work so I'm probably going to do a quick review using DIT to fill in the gaps and move on to questions as my main learning tool.
