USMLE Step 1 result will be reported as PASS/ FAIL starting in January 2022. You will have to score above the minimum passing standard set scores to receive PASS result. This requires simple preparation with a good strategy, pass it, and then focus on your Step 2CK. A lot of resources like Uworld have presented many exotic concepts and rare diseases in Step 1 Qbank and gave us too intense information to score a bit higher. In reality, most of this intense information about rare diseases, concepts does not really show up in day to day clinical practice. While promising "higher percentile scores" in these exams, these programs have heavily increased their prices to almost $400 for just 3-months subscriptions. For a student already burdened with student loans, these test-prep expenses have been hitting them hard. With this background, please take this poll.
