I studied for the USMLE Step 1 for 8 months through various sources of material including Kaplan, The Princeton Review, and First Aid. Unfortunately I did not get a passing score the first time around, feeling defeated, conquered and overwhelmed. I took the Pass program and passed with 239/99, if you would like more information on this package email at passusmlestep1, good luck.
