1. Boards and Beyond (BNB):
– Start by watching videos on specific topics covered in BNB, along with First Aid to reinforce the concepts.
– After watching the BNB videos, create a block in UWorld on the same topic to reinforce learning and fill in any gaps in knowledge not covered in the videos or First Aid.
– Incorporate new information from UWorld into your First Aid notes for reference.
2. Pathoma:
– If you have time, watch Pathoma videos on relevant topics, particularly focusing on subjects like congenital heart defects.
3. Sketchy Microbiology:
– Utilize Sketchy Microbiology for visual learning.
– After completing UWorld questions, watch the corresponding Sketchy Microbiology videos to reinforce microbiology concepts.
4. NBME Practice Exams:
– Begin with NBME 20 to get a sense of the exam format and content.
– Analyze your performance on NBME 20 to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement.
– Address any weak areas by reviewing specific topics and concepts before taking subsequent NBME exams.
– Aim for consistent improvement in NBME scores, with a target of scoring above 70% on the final few NBME exams before the actual Step 1 exam.
5. Exam Booking:
– Schedule your exam once you consistently score above 70% on your NBME practice exams.
