Neuroanatomy – Despite what everybody said, I did kaplan videos in neuro and actually it helped me a lot, the guy might not be the best but he is ok, if u listen to the vids and directly annotate into FA and try to understand everything then solve UW I think you will be fine (at least thats what I did and I had absolutely no good base in neurology)

put a plan and stick to it but also try to be flexible not to lose hope, this is to avoid taking a very long time in the 1st read that will make u feel bored, overwhelmed and disconnected from the subjects you did earlier.Ģ- the main goal of the 1st read is understand everything (NOT memorize), annotating FirstAid and adding extra notes to make your ultimate study source that will be the main source of revisions to avoid the need to re-listen and re-read kaplan vids and LNs again after the 1st read.ģ- Solving UW and reading the detailed explanations helped A LOT in the exam so dont deprive yourself from this amazing source of explanations and try to solve it multiple times (I did it 4 times) to truley grasp the concepts and how to reach the aim of the question.Ĥ- The ultimate determinant whether you are ready for the test or not is the NBMEs self assessments especially the latest ones 15 & 16 not the number of reads, If you can get your goal score in 2 or 3 self assessments then you are ready.ĥ-The path is really long and tiring so try to remain motivated, refreshed and confident that you can do whatever anybody could do….and may be better.Īnatomy – The 1ry source I did is Kaplan and then revised FA and remained to revise Kaplan (with FA) till just before the exam as FA is deficient in anatomy.īiochemistry – also the 1ry source was Kaplan and it helped me A LOT especially in molecular biology and genetics and even in metabolism and nutrition I wouldn’t have understood FA without studying Kaplan and also kaplan videos were super amazing. Here is the most important part in my experience the mistakes I ve done and how to avoid and some tips and tricks:ġ-Start preparing seriously from the beginning don’t procrastinate. + number of UW Qs + a lot of screen shots from different sources)įorm 11 – offline, 11Qs wrong – 2 months awayįorm 12 – offline, 12Qs wrong – 4+ months awayįorm 13 – offline, 13Qs wrong 🙂 – 4+ months away Study strategy: I would listen to videos or read a book and annotate into FA and if a topic was quite large or not written at all in FA I would write the page number or take notes from the video or take screenshots and revise it every time with FA and I did the same with UW I would take notes or write a Q number so that I revise it later, I followed this method in all subjects and in the end I had the ultimate study source (annotated FA with a huge load of extra notes and sticky notes + certain topics from pathoma or BRS or Kaplan LNs….

I dont consider my experience a good one to follow as I did A LOT of mistakes in my preparation so I will only write some tips to take into consideration and some mistakes to avoid so that you may have a better preparation.ġ-Anatomy: Kaplan videos(and yes I liked the kaplan Neuroanatomy vids!!), a PDF called ”anatomy shelf notes” someone uploaded it into the group, FA14.Ģ-Physiology: Kaplan videos, BRS physiology, FA14.Ĥ-Microbiology: TA7 videos, Kaplan HY videos, FA 14Ħ-Behavioural, statistics and psychiatry: Kaplan vids, BRS behavioural, physician patient relationship and defense mechanisms from High Yield (tables of quoted examples), 100cases of dr.Fischer, FA 14.ħ-Pathology: Pathoma vids and book, Goljan slides PDF, FA 14, Goljan tapes in hematology and musculoskeletal.Ĩ-Biochemistry, Molecular biology and Genetics: Kaplan vids and LN, FA 14.Ģ-Kqplan Q bank (but not pharma and pathology).ģ-rx Q bank (only biochemistry, Mol. įirst of all I d like to confirm that I dont (and I think No one) has the ultimate right path for preparing and acing step 1 but eventually you just examine and evaluate the experiences of others and have your own experience and hope for the best. you are the real heros and may Allah provide you with those who will help you as much as you helped others.
I’d like to thank everybody on EAMTAR’s step 1 preparation group who provided help to others by answering questions, posting his experience and providing guidance to his/her fellow colleagues. I took step 1 exam on 15th October 2014 (Wednesday) and got my score report exactly 21 days later on 5th November 2015 (Wednesday). Im a 6th year medical student in Tanta Uni.
Hello everybody, My name is Hesham Mohammed Ezz.
