Hi Guys and gals, please I need help. I am an old graduate from 2005 and want to start step 1 preparation. Can someone guide me on where to start and what resources to use?
Thanks in advance.

May be give more details about the level you are.

When was the last time you studied about basic science stuff(biochem, genetics, anatomy etc)? This will help you determine your level in step1

when was the last time you practiced medicine somewhere? This will help you for step 2&3

Graduated in 2005, worked for 1 year in medicine so it's quite some time and I need to kinda start over again.

For Step 1 I recommend:1) Kaplan sets, 2)pathoma for patholgy, 3)First Aid & 4)UW for questions. Avoid other resources. Too much resources will get you lost. If you do not understand a specific thing just google it.
