Hi folks,

Although I was fortunately enough to get into a decent medical school, I was extremely disappointed by my lack of study skills for the MCAT. I don't think I took it seriously enough, and I am hoping to avoid this for my Step I exam.

I was wondering, if you had the chance to redo medical school, what would you do differently? How would you better prepare yourself for the Step I? Keep in mind that I am a poor test-taker.

Would you buy First Aid and focus on the important aspects of Step I prep from Day 1? I am considering buying the BRS books and skim through them as I go through my lectures. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to this thread!!
