Guys hi it's me the DO student that just wanted to pass!!! I cannot even believe that I got a 217 I am shaking and crying. I know a lot of you have been following my posts and I just wanna thank the reddit community for all the advice and support I've gotten, I'm genuinely blown away right now.
I posted my step 1 experience recently where I talked about a must watch playlist - here you go.
The more I study, the more elusive this test is. It's mind boggling to me that I can feel like I have reviewed everything and done 4000+ questions only to score 220 on nmbes , and others would get that score as their baseline.
The USMLE prep courses we recommend for students cost between $100 (for 3 months) to $6,000 (for an in-person immersive course). If cost is a huge factor in your final USMLE prep decision, you can also consider a book course – here’s our recs on the 13 Best USMLE Step 1 Books for 2021.
The average response time is 15 minutes.
A full suite of diagnostic tests, full-length exams, and assessment tests: All Kaplan USMLE review courses and Qbanks come with 2 full-length practice tests , but if you opt for a course rather than just a Qbank, you’ll access a diagnostic test, 2 full-length simulated USMLE tests, and 11 assessment tests. Suffice it to say, you’ll have plenty of test-day practice and simulation to pass the USMLE.
USMLE Step 1 prep is not one-size-fits-all, so by considering your needs as a student, you should be able to find a study program that fits your study style. Starting with this list of the best 6 USMLE Step 1 Prep Courses is the first step in finding the best match for your prep.
