im an img graduated in 2000 without any clinical experience. im planning to take step 1 in may. r kaplan lecture notes enough? pls advice which books r best for each subject. i need to score well as im an old grad and in need of visa. also pls tell whether i cud catch up 2007 match or plan for 2008. and one more thing. im may sound pessimist. but after all these yrs of inactivity i feel worthless. will it be worth giving a try? or shud i give up? pls advice.

hi my advice is join kaplan coaching and go through kaplan books atleast thrice and for patho study goljan high yield notes and audio lectures after you finish reading do kaplan qbank for self assesment you can buy it online it costs about $199 (for 1 month).dont give up . i hope nothing is impossible. i think this must do . finally do nbme self assesment before exam.this is must.

Hi, Grad2k!

I'm a newbie here and I am an old (ancient!)grad (1996). Am already a Family Practitioner in my country . I am now starting all over here in the US. Sometimes, I feel that "negativity" but then again, I can't picture myself doing something else other than being a doctor. I have a friend who is a '94 grad & she got accepted into a program. I think it's still worth a try. Let's not lose hope. Goodluck to us!
