Am I good to go for STEP?

Hey guys anyone else tested today? How was the exam for yall? I thought it was alright, can’t honestly tell how it went I feel confused af Felt like there were alot of low yield facts

Hi My exam in in april 2025. Currently im doing FA along with UW. Should i do nbme as well as i heard that concepts in nbme are highly tested in real exam? That way i will have perfected my nbmes topics but i wont be able to test my self using nbme as i will know the answers. 2nd find a list of nbme topics and perfect them while doing FA and UW. After completing my first pas of fa and uw i will take nbme and will get assessment. Kindly suggest. (This is my 2nd attempt)

Guys , regarding biochemistry is that enough if I study from dirty medicine and vitamins along with diseases related to fatty acid and glycogen storage?

Hey guys. If anyone needs Step 1 advice please free to private message me. I’m more than happy to help anyone during this stressful and difficult phase in their medical school life.

scores in NBME

NBME 24-37%

NBME 25-49%

NBME 27-62%

NBME 29-73%

NBME 30-65% ( don't know why score dropped , still reviewing)

what shall I focus on and what to do next

Hi guys, I'm have 7 weeks of study to take step 1. I'm planning to take just 2 nbme, which ones would you recommend to take?

Non US IMG, wanted to slowly start step prep but at the same time try and link it into my current university curriculum content (psychology rn), through watching BnB and then unsuspending corresponding Anki cards.

But after watching the BnB video and looking at anking v12 cards tagged with BnB I feel like there aren’t enough cards covering all of the content in the BnB videos? Did I just get unlucky watching one video that wasn’t very HY content therefore not many cards or is it well known that the B&B tagged cards in AnKing are not enough to get by on? Or maybe I messed up the tagging with special fields or something?

Thanks

I'm confused either to continue watching BNB or not. It has been great though, but I get less time to review the PDF again other than the anki. Overall, takes a lot of time. Saw people recommending bootcamp, but they have got so many short videos. I get distracted easily. Will it be okay going through Osmosis for the tough topics in order to make concepts, rest going through anki and FA?

Answer plz anyone with explanation

If you want it upvote and comment with dm and I will send

But I want you guys to tell me what are the perfect notes for uworld you need to help you most I can edit it to be more useful

I get messages as 50 to 100 dollars per hours tbh can’t afford if any of you know a good (affordable)step 1 tutor for few days would be really helpful ! Thank you

I took my exam October 29th, I'm so scared, exam was a mix, many easy questions, I swear I didn't read more than half of the question and just mark the answer, I didn't mark any question or went back to check anything, finish the whole thing with 2 hours left and 40 minutes break left, I pass my Nbmes with great scores all of them 79 26, 27 and finish with 84 on 31 but 120 at prometric I got a 70, I have really bad anxiety waiting for my results!!!! During the exam I fell like I was on automatic like was doing it and that's it! Any advice? What do you think????

Tested 10/25 hope everyone pass.. GBU ...

What score in the free120 is a safe zone?

Gave my exam on 28/10 and my permit disappeared yesterday , is it because my traid expired ? Or is the results this week?

Let me know please

Hey there, so I wanted to ask whether i need to call prometric and get my eligibility reinstated even if i applied for eligibility period extension well in advance say 45 DAYS ??

As far as i know , you only need to call prometric and get reinstated if you don't show up for your exam, correct?? In my case i can directly reschedule from the prometric website ??

Passed my school CBSE with a 71 about 2 wks ago. Honing in on finishing UW (35% left) and reviewing my NBMEs. Any advice ???

Can anyone please share HY images file or link please !

As a Non US IMG how much should I average on NBMEs (bottom line) so that i can move ahead with my step1 ?

Taking step 1 during winter break but need to study during clerkships. Any tips/advice welcome—especially in terms of study schedule/planning! Thanks!

I’m really scared. I found the exam to be hard. How do I deal with the anxiety and negative thoughts?

My exam is set for nov 27 but if my nbmes go well this week i want to get it over with and move my exam to nov 11 (monday). To be safe I should reschedule during the work week right? (not over the weekend). Has anyone rescheduled? Did u have any delay in confirmation/problems? How close can you reschedule safely?

Hi everyone!!

I'm a non-US IMG currently feeling quite lost, I've read up on some study guided and still feeling very lost. I just finished my 2nd year and taking a year off due to my health.

I want to start preparing for step 1 soon but have no idea where to start. I have the FA book and also the ankibg deck (still trying to figure out how to use this one, it's so confusing).

Can anyone share what you did to prep for step 1 from scratch? I don't know where to begin, and how much to do before it's considered enough.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Hey y’all, just making this post for any last minute tips, suggestions, or random high yield facts yall wanna throw my way! Testing on Monday so just cramming as much as I can and hoping for the best.

Just finished step 1 exam today, I feel anxious and not sure if I passed , did anyone feel like this and what did you do to feel better ?

My exam is in 16 days. I have done 1 pass of uworld.

Along with doing nbmes (planning to do 30 and 31), I would like to do as many uworld questions i can.

Reviewing questions takes the longest for me. In an effort to see more content, is it reasonable to only review the educational objective?

as nitrates would cause reflex tachycardia when given alone, shouldn't they cause increased oxygen demand, at least for a little while?
