Hi everyone, I took the step 1 just a week ago. After the exam I felt relieved but as the time passes I feel really nervous because I had to do several guesses. I surprised that I got more stadistics questions, no fewer than 5 or 6 and I only could do one for sure. A lot of questions about behaviour, most of them about doctor-patient relationship (what to do next...which is the best answer for the patient...) Not so many about biochemistryand 2 of them were urea cicle. Most of questions were straight to the answers and there weren't many that needed multiple steps of thinking to reply them, whereas in step 2 there were a lot or most of them. I got also many of anatomy questions. I remember that one of them I had to point where was the cranial nerve that the patient had damaged according a clinical picture described. Questions about microbiology were straight to and easier that I did in Qbank. Well those are the differences that I've found from others. The rest you know...many physio and patho. I forget to tell you that there were many graphics especially in pharmaco. I am not confident aout my perfomance and only I want is PASS not caring how much it would be because I am not sure if I could do it better in the next time. I only pray to pass. Luck to every of you that are going to do it. Books from where I studied: every recommended in this page.

hi dxtxpx, I took last year Step 2. The exam format of Step 1 is different from Step 2. You need more knowledge of Step1 to answer Q of Step 2 and not the opposit way. The drugs most tested are autonomic and the graphics are about them (you need to intepret them). Some of cardiovascular. I hope you can do it well and I need all luck so thank you for your support. If you need more, just ask me. I will answer all I can remember.
