Hey, I am a long time forum viewer but never posted or anything. Everyone out there has their own opinions on how to prepare.. I see a lot of super high scores out there, it is hard to believe what is true. I have just made a website which details what I think is important. I hope you will find it helpful. I followed my own advice and I wrote my Step I 3 weeks after the "MD 5". I got a 238/99 which is a solid score, but not super high as many people can get if you take long enough to study. I believe in writing it quickly, so you can make "the match" deadlines, the old question of scores vs. time. I plan on applying in Sept 2010 to start PGY1 in July 2011. Please visit my site and tell me what you think:
