Passed step 1 on 6/18, tested on 6/3

I started my prep 11 months ago (3rd year finals in between) , watched bnb for each unit even the one’s i didn’t really need to so i would suggest start uworld as early as you can. I used bnb, sketchy for micro, randy neil for biostatistics, dirty medicine for ethics & towards the end i read mehlmaan arrows, immunology and biochemistry that did really help increase my scores on the nbmes!

NBME scores 26- 61% 27- 60% 28- 67% 29- 74% 30-71% 31- 70%

UWSA1 - 69% FREE 120 - 73% (10days out)

I had a full time study partner who also passed! Read almost the whole first aid in the last 7 One day before the exam i felt like i didn’t remember anything but knew there was nothing more i could’ve done. 30% of the concepts do make 80% of the exam. Coming put of the pro-metric centre felt like it was such a huge achievement & the feeling is still unmatched i was scared that i couldn’t survive for 8 hours but you rlly won’t know when the time passes by just keep hogging on those protien bars!
