Kln+uw+fa

I did not read kaplan medessentials ,so I cannot comment upon it.....but I will say that if step 1 takes time ,let it take time bcoz kaplan r the backbone of step 1.....they r the basics.....they will make ur concepts.....no matter how much time they take, u must do KLN and revise them too......then carry on with UW and FA......and success is urs.......

Best of luck

 

Agree with @K06100

You can't give Step 1 without KLN, FA amd UW. Take as much time as you need coz there is only one real shot at it. No point getting a low score. If it makes you feel better, I started in Nov last and am still not done with my first read of KLN. Hope to finish in 2-3 days from now. You can see my prep schedule in my threads.

I will also strongly advice you to structure your preparations. Draw up a schedule.
Also please go back and annotate what you haven't. Second time video should not take as long. (1.5x is a good idea)
A word of caution about Medessentials, they are a shortcut & not always up to date. Unless you are a genius, don't rely on them.
If you need a kick, do one of the self assessment offline for now. It will get you going.

Good luck!

 

thanks

thanks a lot @drssbaz and @K0610 even i realize it, i can't compromise score just to finish it fast but actually kind of i tried doing FA and its structure(not matter) doesn't suits me. Thats why i asked for medessential. now i will be doing kaplan notes complete thanks a lot. but still confused with review book.

FA looks like Greek and Latin unless you have done a review (mostly KLN has been recommended in polls) or some UWorld. Keep trying. You'll figure out what suits you best.

 

I can suggest something that worked for me n it may work for you too. I started with 4 videos a day along with KLN n then again reviewing the, in the evening. Yes step1 is worth all the time u can give but spending too long is bad too because by the time u finish first read, u will forget what u read in the start.so I would suggest to make a schedule n strictly follow it. Good thing is that Biochem n Physio two of the longest ones n also Patho will take time too. Try not to spend too much time on Micro, n Pharma because it's a short term memory stuff n u will need to read them some 4-5 times anyways. Don't spend time in. Watching patho or micro videos, that's waste of time. If you are comfortable with English then u can watch videos at faster speed on a media player on your computer. Good luck

 

thanks @drssbaz @kdm0101, i i will seriously take your advice. thanks again
