Hi,
You probably already know this, but the first thing you should do is to get "First Aid for the USMLE Step 1". Use this book as a mentor -- Don't rely solely on the information in the book as you'll probably find it impossible to remember all of it that way. "First Aid" also contains a information on what other review books to get and vast information on the test itself. It's a must, really.
I'm also an IMG and just recieved my Step 1 scores yesterday. Apparently some 60% of us international medical students pass on the first try (compared to approx 95% of the American students), and I'm glad I was one of them!

Yeah, First Aid is a good start. Also, search this forum, especially in May/June when everyone was discussing tactics. And do questions questions questions if you're that sort of person.
STOCKHOLM, are you telling me that you - a fellow Scandinavian - are state bound? I'M NOT ALONE! I sent you a PM. I just gotta know your plans. Congrats on the test, by the way.
Later.
