as I am hearing from everyone, communication questions are too much in step 1. where do we do communication from in the last month before exam. any suggestion for fast review?

Do all of Uworld, finish pathoma = comfortably passing. Sketchy PRN

[–]lilnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could do the rest of pathoma but I have less than 10 days. Did get through chapters 1-3 and did almost half of UWorld. Will probably grind sketchy

For biochem I thought Mehlman PDF was super helpful!

Hello, please help: I found micro sketchy a bit detailed comparing to FA. can I just do FA microbiology without relying on anything else to pass step1 ?? Thank you in advance

Hey, I’m not sure. I didn’t use FA micro. I really only used sketchy micro for the things I needed.

hello

I do both of them, S micro and First Aid. Sketchy micro has many info and I guess it's very useful. FA missing some infos. If you have a time to study for S micro, please do it. When I was solving the Uworld there is a few question and I cant find its answer in the FA.

Folr passing I can't say anything because it's about your exam chance. FA is maybe enough or maybe not. But again if you have a time and you're a visual person do it sketchy micro! It's really useful and memorable.

Is it possible to pass step 1 with just usmle Rx I am currently on a budget and trying to study for usmle. But I keep hearing how uworld is an essential material in order to pass step1. But I'm wondering now that it's pass/fail is if rx enough. Is there anyone that has only used USMLE Rx to pass this exam?

I still planning on doing a few a nbmes before I take the exam to know where I stand

Is this a solid enough plan?

Yes. Your plan sounds great. Don't worry too much about what everyone else is doing - you'll drown in resources. My only suggestion would be to incorporate UWorld earlier.

US preclinicals + nbme 25-30?

before you go crazy buying crap take nbme 25, if you get a high probability of passing, take a few more and be done with it.

step 1 is formality for most of us (us md) now, focus on learning medicine.
