 CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED THEIR EXAMS. I THINK THAT IS THE GREATEST REWARD FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND EFFORT. SOMETHING YOU CAN FEEL VERY PROUD ABOUT YOURSELF.
TO THOSE WHO ARE STILL STUDYING KEEP IT UP!!! WE ARE ON THE SAME BOAT RIGHT NOW!!  READ AND READ AND READ!!!! PRACTICE, PRACTICE AND PRACTICE!! ALSO DO NOT FORGET ABOUT YOURSELFS!! TAKE AN OCCASIONAL BREAK!! REMEMBER EXERCISE IS THE BEST COMPANION TO STUDYING. DO YOGA OR TAI CHI OR JOGGING OR MARTIAL ARTS!! KEEP UP THE WORK!! 8)
AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED!!!!!! :P UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU GET DISCOURAGE!!! LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES AND YOU WILL PASS!! IF YOU GOT INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL AND GRADUATED, THIS IS ONLY THE LAST STEP!! JUST ONE MORE LITTLE EFFORT AND YOU WILL BE THERE!!!
AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED CAN YOU TELL ME THE AVERAGE PERIOD OF TIME YOU SPEND STUDYING DAILY AND FOR HOW MANY MONTHS? ALSO YOUR SCORE, PLEASE? I AM PLANNING ON REVIEWING FOR THREE MONTHS, 10 HOURS DAILY.
ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE FAILED CAN YOU TELL ME THE SAME?
ALSO WHAT BOOKS DID YOU GUYS USED AND ARE USING RIGHT NOW?
HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE AND SMILE!!

I am by no means an expert,....preping for the step 1 right now. I took some time off from med school because I did not think that the 1 month they gave us to study for the exam was enough for me. Enough about me... most people I talk to that did well on the exam (i.e. score 95 or higher) studied for anywhere from 3-9 months for about 8-10 hours per day with breaks of course. There are 3 parts to the USMLE board exam. The first part which I am sure you know very well, the second part most people take during their 3rd year of medical school, and the step 3 which is taken after your first your of residency. I hope this has been helpful...God Bless and good luck.
