yes and it turned out well.

As long as you have the gist of the step 1 material, you can use pass and then do any qbank. Pass builds and shows you have to tie everything together. If you don't have the knowledge that you got from your school then Kaplan videos are better for you first

Start doing questions. But use first aid as well. use the questions to help you with first aid. First Aid isn't complete, so doing questions while you study the FA is the best thing. Write stuff in your first aid book. After your done the qbank then do USMLErx.com stuff. It will drive home what is in the first aid book and you'll be star by the time you hit usmleworld.

I'm not sure how much time you have left, but if I had at least 3 months out, I would do qbank first, then an NBME to see where I'm at and then do another qbank and do another NBME. If you like where your at then go take the exam, if not hit another qbank and pick another nbme.

Remember, constantly hit the pharmacology, that is pure memorization.

Thats cool. You got lots of time. Pass Program suggests you do at least 5000 questions before taking an NBME. But its really up to you.
