I'm taking step 1 June 19th, and was wondering when to take my first diagnostic.

I've been studying pretty intensely since the start of the semester - and want to know where I stand as well as my major weaknesses. But, my class is structured according to organ system, so currently im' in neuro and wont be finished that until the middle of february, then endocrine, then reproductive, then musculoskeletal.

I get out end of april. so I was thinking about taking my diagnostic around the first or second week of april. That leave me knowing everything except for musculoskeletal (I'd take it before the end of that unit).

Does that sound okay? Think I should take it sooner?? I've also got a full diagnostic kaplan, should I take that instead of an NCBE one?

Thanks again.
