Hello my name is Dr Ayesha. In this blog I am going to tell you how I scored 263 in my usmle step 1 exam. I am a graduate of **** college Islamabad. I gave my step 1 in the end of my 4 year. I prepared for step 1 for 8 months.
Step 1 fee and examination center :
The fee of step 1 is 620$ and I gave my step 1 in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Guidance from seniors:
When I was In my college, many of my seniors passed their their step 1 with excellent score. My dream was to go to USA and now I am in USA. I attended alot of seminars regarding usmle and all of that stuff.
Alot of my seniors got a match in their desired specialities and they guided me even more better. I was very confident to give step 1.
Preparation material:
1: first aid
2: pathology by Goljan
3: Uworld (6 months)
4: kaplan notes
5: high yield embryology
6: rapid view biochemistry
7: NBME
I used to study for 6 hours a day for my step 1. It is not that much easy to study all the time as I am a girl I have some responsibilities as well.
But if you work hard you will definitely chase your target. I didn’t cramed. I just cleared my concepts. My friends also scored 260+ we used to study in a group. Usmle step 1 is a difficult exam as compared to plab. I will upload my step 2ck experience soon. Stay in touch with my blog thank you.

Dr Ayesha.
