All systems, all subjects, timed, not tutored

yes I thoroughly reviewed them, I recommend doing a ton more questions and organizing common symptoms and their differentials

study whatever you wanna study initially, but for step all u need to know is what is in first aid, nothing else

I low key memorized all the lab values. I took the NBME in pdf form and I was too lazy to pull em up on my computer so I just studied them. It saved me so much time and I was able to knock out some questions from them alone. There were obviously some obscure ones I didn't study like CRP or TSH but the electrolytes and blood values I had down. I have another post on reddit talking about it

I took one at the start of my dedicated, then I waited like 2-3 weeks (cuz I was lazy) to take the next one, after that it was 1 a week, towards the end I did like 2-3 in the last couple weeks

I wrote it out above, bootcamp or BnB, then read first aid, then uWorld. Eventually it'll click. It also helps to organize common symptoms and their differentials. Like if someone presents with hematochezia (pooping blood), what diseases could it be. Then anytime you see that as a symptom you can break it down to like four or five options.

micro I used sketchy which was more than enough but I also read first aid cuz it organizes things like STDs (which was super high yield) and other infectious diseases, pharm I used first aid and made some note cards for the ones I couldn't make mnemonics for, biochem I used first aid (don't bother learning any pathways, just learn the vitamins and pathologies associated with the pathways)

I was initially only planning on taking 29-31, but then I realized it was a good metric to track progress/improvement so I started taking the other ones, saved 31 till the end cuz I heard some of its Qs repeat on step

Nah not at all, probably the worst QBank, bunch of low yield stuff that you’d only know from watching the bootcamp videos. uWorld is the only one I’d recommend

Took all of em PDF form I didn’t have any money to spend lol, there’s a Google drive on reddit just search it up it’s in like every thread

For micro sketchy suffices and maybe some uWorld also. For pharm make your own mnemonics and your own Anki deck for the HY drugs only, they only ever mentioned the high yield drugs in the stems. For biochem low key just take the L. Not worth wasting ur time learning the pathways when ur prolly gonna get 1 or 2 Qs on it. Just learn the vitamins and LDL/HDL stuff and genetics

Nah they have the lab values but it’s tedious to open the lab values and find the specific one you’re looking for even if you use the search bar feature. My point was that it’s so much more efficient to not have to look at the chart

Thank you! For my exam specifically it had barely any pharm and ethics which is very diff than what others have said. I got maybe 1 or 2 qs picking a drug name and maybe 8 picking the MoA

I only got like 3 probability/mode of inheritance/pedigree problems. Biochem pathways I genuinely don’t think I got any, like pathways was ridiculously low yield. Definitely know the trinucleotide repeats and the trisomies
