hi everyone
I just took my step 1, packed my things and moved in from step 1 forum, lol
I tried to find exam experiences to read but there are only a few, and the search function is not very sophisticated
so what to study for this exam if my clinical knowledge is poor but i just took step 1 which i studied hard for?
goal: 99
time: not a problem but the sooner the better
what is the main course for each specialty(kaplan, blueprints, BRS, NMS ... etc)? and what supplementary material do you recommend (harrison manual, cecil review, uptodate ... etc)?
any questions worth doing other than usmleworld? what about kaplan internal medicine qbank, is it any good? mock exam? kaplan qbank/qbook?
what DVDs (kaplan, mayo clinic, harvard), and audio lectures (goljan, fischer) are worth doing and not a waste of time?
what general review books (first aid, boards and wards, step up, crush the boards ... etc) are worth doing and not a waste of time?
you don't have to answer all my queries, any input is appreciated, even if you did not take step 2 yet, but you have read exam experiences or talked to step 2 takers
this will benefit me and other new comers
thanks
