‎Ali Javed- Step 1-240

Hello guys.
Few Tips for the preparation.
Follow UFAP protocol. Do start memorizing FA early in your preparation.
If you are weak in PHYSIOLOGY watch atleast CVS and Resp Dr. Kudrath videos (2010 kaplan). I did BRS physio questions in the last 10 days. That really helped me.
Do biostat uw review plus uw biostat. If you are in early preparation phase or weak in BS or Epi watch Dr. Daughtery's Behavioral plus epidemiology videos (2010 kaplan).
Watch NEUROANATOMY Dr. White videos (kaplan2014).
Anatomy was easily covered by UW plus FA. For pharma UW plus FA and watch Dr. Ramond ANS (2010 kaplan) for pharma.
For Genetics and molecular i watched Dr. Turco videos.
Sketch is Gold for MICRO. Do it multiple times. It wont take much time.
Bnb immuno videos are really good. Along with FA n Uw
Do PATHOMA really really good. That will help you big time. Listen to goljan lectures if you have time. I didnt have time for that. But some of my friend did. It really helped them
Do UW atleast twice.
For me Nbme 19 was most predictive. Got 241 about 7 days before exam.
Do Uw pictures before your exam like in last 10 days esp neuroanatomy pictures.
Revise FA as much as possible in last 2 months

Last thing. Exam is doable. If i can do it, anybody can do it. Just keep working hard and believe in yourself. You need a leap of faith at the end. Cheers!

Step 2 CK helped me tremendously with pathophysiology, pharmacology, ethics, biostats, and psychiatry. My partner and I started dedicated prep in October 2017. We ran twice (roughly...

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...
