Irrespective of the course or material y’all used (are using) how much time are you setting aside?
I’ll be the first to admit, I was a less than stellar student in M1 and M2 so I’ve been told I should be prepared to spend more time prepping for Step1.
I’m planning on 7 weeks right now but as with everything else in med school am constantly worried if I should be doing more.
Anybody know of some good study schedule templates that I can tweak for myself? I am not comfortable using something from SDN, “not that there’s anything wrong with that”.
If you weren’t a “stellar” student as you say, you may want to look into a review course. I used Falcon for Step 2 found great help in their videos. I’m sure there are many other review programs.
First Aid and qbanks are a great resource if you have a SOLID foundation.
Taking a review course will help you build back up that foundation.
Remember, Step 1 is a one shot deal. Do what it takes!
