USMLE STEP 1: Score 269



exam score : 269
exam date : 3 / 15 / 2017
I've recently graduated from the hashemite university in Jordan
I wrote my experience because I owe this group a lot and I hope everyone benefits from it .
I divided my study into 3 stages :
1) First 3 months , I concentrated on understanding concepts without memorizing.
During this period I used first aid along with kaplan biochem book and videos , pathoma videos , kaplan pharma videos for CNS , Autonomic system and cvs only , brs for physiology , 100 cases by cornard for ethics and lastly biostat and immuno kaplan videos.
2) In the next 2 months I revised first aid once along with the important notes which I had taken from extra sources I used in stage 1, also I used biostat uworld qbank  which is very helpful
3) After that I strated uworld online , I used to solve around one to one and a half block in a timed random mode and study it along with taking notes. This took around 2 months.
During sloving ethics qs in uworld I noticed a lot of differences between uworld and 100 cases by cornard , so I decided to read ethics from an updated book and I found ethics part in brs behavioral science book serves this goal well . 
4) In the last month I revised first aid with uworld notes twice before the exam
2 weeks before the exam I did uwsa 1 & 2 and got 273 and 271 respectively
I also solved nbme 13, 15 , 16 , 17, 18 offline and got around 7 to 8 mistakes in each
All qs ideas are covered in first aid and uworld … u have to sleep well the night before the exam because the exam is too long and exhausting

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, just send me a message and I will reply asap.

At the end I wish u all the best

Step 1-238

Hello guys, I want to share my experience as a gratitude for all the people that shared their step 1 journey before .For me all the stories posted in this group gave me strength to continue and became my guidelines in a process from I didn’t know anything about.  Started with Kaplan lecture notes except for pathology. Then I watched all Kaplan 2014 videos except for pathology. Then I did Pathoma and gave my first FA read along with DIT videos, it made it easier to digest the book. Then I solved Usmle Rx and jumped straight to Uworld , first pass timed random mode score 62 % and after that I made it second time 85%. I felt confident with the knowledge I had but not with my test taking skills because I made online nbme 15 with a score of 213 and a lot of silly mistakes so I decided to do Kaplan qbank timed random mode( score 77%). I felt is very strong in anatomy and physiology concepts. After that I started to make more nbmes and I realize that my weakness was test taking skill...
