Step I usmle study partner/group

[doc1023md]

I was looking for a study partner/group that is willing to review for USMLE Step 1. I live in north suburbs of Chicago. Basically we would be discussing various topics that we find difficult and we would also quiz each other on the topics that we would be studying independently. I really do feel that it is important to be able to actively study, since I have seen great success with group studying during my first 2 years of med school. With a partner or a group, the material that we are studying sticks in our heads, since learning something that you find difficult and listening to the perspective of another person can make it easier for you to understand that material. I am flexible as to the hours that we would be spending on the reviewing. Just a little bit about me: I am done with the first 2 years of basic sciences and I will be taking the USMLE at the end of this year. I have already started studying, and hope to be able to review with someone on topics we both find difficult. Please reply back here, thanks.
