STEP 1 Study Plan 2023 | pass/fail, 8 weeks

The infamous STEP 1 of medical school is one of the most difficult exams that students face. With the change in grading to pass/fail and a boatload of other questions, I'm eager to share what I did to PASS and hope you all can learn from my mistakes within the study process in order to have an even smoother time studying!

Hot take on the Dukes and pepper decks over Anking, and it’s an excellent take 40k cards Vs like 6-7k gives way more time for practice questions. Listen to her, you’ll pass step and move on with your life

What were your practice test scores and your uworld block scores right before you sat for the exam? What do you think a good goal is for these to be in the safe pass range?

[@RahulYadav-br5nx]

Can u please share ur notes please

[@iheanachofranklin5046]

Please what can you say about bnb please?

[@double_cheese_burger572]

Hii! thanks for the video, I am prepping for STEP 1 now, read a lot of reddits, girl I am frickin out! OMG , my question is, were the questions more similar to NBME or UWORLD? also were a lot of the questions pop out from Mehlmann med pdf? I really like his pdf but should I depend my life on it? Thankyou xoxo have a good day!

[@ShaMichelle]

Honestly, the questions were different than both. I feel like UWorld is meant to allow you to think and gives you enough information to make a diagnosis and then NBME gives you just a little bit less information and then STEP gives you even less lol some questions were very straight forward and then others were very abstract and required a lot of inference.
