I am planning to take Step 1 in May-June 2014. The idea occured to me when I saw December 2013 group and how succesful it was. I think it'll be of great help for all of us, to encourage each other, to exchange info about study plans etc.
I hope you will join me in this effort to ace in Step 1.)

looking at june 2014
have all you guys filled in the form?
if not when do you intend to?
2011 grad
finished my internship and now currently resident in my home country
as for the plan initially it will be focused around first aid ....after that will tackle any Q bank if im satisfied with my preformance that will be it ,if not then might supplement with Kaplan
my basic knowledge is next to zero
but hopefully will cross the 260+ as i dont think that i did great on my step 2 CK (waiting for my results )lz:lz:
I'm a medstudent from China, graduating around July 2014. Trying to take my step 1 exam around that time as well. I've started with biochem, kinda felt like biochem is the heart of all subjects, and If I did it first, the cross-reference with physio, pharm, and pathology will be helpful later on. I'm in the middle of my it now. My time zone is UTC/GMT +8, and I mostly will do clinical case discussions of the step 1 around the weekends. So my Skype is lidoguy in case anyone is interested.
hi everyone!! How is everyone been doing these days,,,I think we should create a fb group in order to get more in touch with each other...hope to hear from you...
hi alba!
reading physio from kaplan, already did BRS but wasnt satisfied with my ability to answer questions.
I think KLN is better alng with their videos.
What bout you?
I'm doing high yield molecular biology+Kaplan videos. Done with the metabolism and protein structure and nutrition:sleepy:
