How and what to study USMLE 3 from zero.... - needom - ArchivalUser - 07-31-2020
Hi, I am old IMG who took USMLE step 1, 2, CS and ECFMG certified 15 year ago (in 2005) and returned home after failed match. I did MD in radiology and doing good. Now, I want to do fellowship in the US and they says "Step 3" is must.
I'm pretty much determined to sit for Step 3 and can spare 4 to 5 hours daily for studying MLE.
My questions:
1. What to study for Step 3 since my basic (Step 1) is almost zero present and how important is Step 1 in context of Step 3 ?
2. How to study, how many hours and when to take exam (after how many months) if I start now ? Any good suggestions ?
3. Lastly, does age matters for fellowship?
Will be much grateful for any valuable output.
Thanks

go through rapid review at the end of FA1 and FA2 and read FA3
take step 1 nbmes, step 2 and step 3 nbmes
do step 2 and step 3 uw and all uw sa 1 and 2
Focus on CCS Biostats and ethics!
age does not natter as much but you might have to retake Step 1 and 2 for some states for licensing requirements.
good luck
