I recently received my USMLE step 1 score

There have been immense lows and there has been unprecedented highs, the path to glory depends on attitude of not giving up!

I recently received my USMLE step 1 score, I scored slightly lower than I had expected, but I am happy with it.

Materials used

Pathology - Goljan+ UWORLD

Physiology- BRS physiology + Boards and Beyond + UWORLD

Pharmacology - Mostly UWORLD + FA and some of Review of pharmacology by Govind Garg (Indian Book)+ UWORLD

Microbiology- Clinical Microbiology made ridiculously simple + UWORLD

Anatomy - Road map to gross anatomy, Anatomy shelf notes+ FA + UWORLD

Histology - mostly UWORLD and some basic histology from Difiore atlas of histology

Behavioral science AND biostat -

FA+ UWORLD+ BOARDS AND BEYOND

I had taken subscription for Boards and beyond, UWORLD, USMLERX

I think one should take subscriptions to study, it makes a difference. In that it becomes a more live and interactive experience.
(Again it’s just a personal opinion)

How would I do things if I were to do this again

  • One mistake I did was not reading BRS behavioural science…that I think potentially Cost me 5-6 points. In my score report, my Behavioral science performance is to the lower side. So I would do behavioral from BRS

  • I would spend more time on UWORLD and Goljan
