Congrats.....great score, Goodluck with everything in the future!

I was gonna ask you of how long you took to prepare for the exam and how many times did you go through kaplan and FA?

thanks for the help, you've done a service to those coming behind you! goodluck again for the next Steps...

[usmleguy]

i prepared for about 7 months...read kaplan lecture notes and FA for review ....about 3 times .....and did the qbanks....

Congratulations!!! That score is excellent! I am very very happy for you. Thanks for all your posts here over the past few months - very helpful....

Yes. They don't allow you to re-do the exam once you have passed. But they also don't like if you haven't passed for the first try. So while your points may not be as good as you hoped - you managed to pass the first try and that will be counted.

Still there is lot you can do. Research in US is highly valued and if you get to know program director you multiply your chances to get residency. My coursemate's friend had residency (I don't know how much he scored) because every member of interviewing board could decide one resident.

So cheer up and keep little break and then focus on step 2.

Congratulations!

USMLEGUY- I'm contemplating which books to use right now and whether Kaplan is necessary, as I've been advised to use non-Kaplan books. Do you think your score, for most part, can be attributed to prepping with Kaplan?

[Haisook]

Great score!!
Congratulations usmleguy!
