Hi all,
Sorry for disappearing for a long time!
Got my score today.
Firstly this forum is great! And also the analysis by lvspro and others was very helpful in keeping my apprehension level down. I also need to thank lots of u probably some who even dont know me including Mars Aris, Mani, Malaysian, Meghana (wonder why all have their names beginning with M) and many others for all the discussion and encouraging words. Not sure whether I worked to my potential, but nevertheless am happy.
USMLE Step I: 93/230.
NBME 6 days before the exam: 530 corresponds to 226.
NBME 3 days before the exam: 520 corresponds to 224.
Kaplan simulated 4 days before the exam: 70%.
USMLE CD: I dont remember but was much below what most students get. That made me horrified, but I guess, that was because many of the questions in the CD were already in either qbook or qbank and so most students were solving the same question for probably second or third time and I hadn't done those so, atleast psychologically made myself comfortable.
I did not get time to solve many questions in qbook and qbank but I did a few tests and got around 33-40 right out of 50 thats around 66% to 80%. That was in the end. Initially I was pathetic.
Sorry, I have posted this elsewhere too on this forum but was tempted to put it here since I feel few people visit the lvspro analysis and also coz the postings are temporally inverted, the newest one being shown last.
Lastly, lets all meet again for Step II and help each other out in all possible manners!!!
Thanks again all,
Amit

hi Kerochi,
Thanks.
I did mostly Kaplan notes and Goljan lectures. My mistake was that I did not read first aid and also did not solve many questions. Both, I do not want to repeat for Step II.
I started studying seriously since late July. Took the exam on 30th December.
Good Luck!

Thanks Krishie, Kiran and Meghana.
Krishie and Kiran when r u taking your exams? And Meghana when r u taking Step II ?(we need some help in Ob/Gy from an expert).
Lets hope, we all can again join together and work hard for step II. I plan to take in July or August, since I am doing MS and also need to work for my courses.
Also nice emoticons. I need to be more savvy with them.
Thanks again,
Amit.

Thanks ssrpk,
lvspro analysis is the topmost on the "usmle step 1 exam experiences" page with approximately 18,900 something views as of now.
Dont worry not a technical term. LOL.
Bye,
Amit
