hi Sharvil, Like to know you and everybody here. i am a 5th/6 med stud at Tokyo. I am planning to take the step 1 with score more than 95%, even though many guys around said that it is impossible. So I feel really really much more confident and willing to studying harder for the Apr exam. I scheduled my exam in 07 april to ensure the best prep.... Thanks a lot for ur word....u the best

Hi, I graduated from a chinese medi uni 8 years ago. Now I am planning to take the exam. Could you please kindly tell me the procedure? Get ECFMG certi and then apply Step 1, is that right?

hi sharvil, I really like ur remedy to get 99s, it permeates me and does encourage me alot these days.....I have been badly badly busy with my clerkship rotaion almost 12 hrs at hospital so honestly speaking, it is so impossible to study for step1 eveyday.....but ur written really save me and accelerate my ennergy store double ....I think not just me but all who ever read ur will figure out the way to go ahead...God bless u... I am a 5th med student and scheduled my step1 next year may 2007 and try to speed myself to obtain the step2 before Oct 2007...i am a foreing med student in Jap so I really dont wanna do residency in Jap...coz i think it is a kind of waste to do spend 2 years residency in Jap when I determined not practise medicine here... so my question is do u think or do u know whether it is possible for a brand new IMG who have neither clinial experience nor post graduate residency ,except for clerkship during med school, to win a chance in 2008 match.... thanks in advance and waiting for ur reply.. best wishes

domo arigato forever good, yes u can get a residency in the usa it is the land of opportunity, once u r done with med school try to come to hte usa and do some research/clinical work, also while in med school try to schedule an elective rotation in the usa, that will help enormously good luck sharvil

hi sharvil,first of all thanks a lot.What you wrote and have been suggesting has worked for many,inspired a lot more and is sure to help many who choose to take usmle.thanks and may god bless you.good luck with all. i went through what you wrote and suggested.i have my exam scheduled for the 16th of feb'07,followed by cs scheduled for 30th feb. i need ur advice regarding how to go about my prep from now on. i have taken the exam once and couldnt pass it.been reading for some time.i know some of my stuff but am really weak with path and pharm.no matter how much i read,over time i forget.cant correlate stuff.took kaplan live lectures,but its so volatile,i simply need to go back to books so very often.pls suggest.even a month before my exam i feel a need to go back to the text rather than doing questions.the problem is i cant postpone no more and have to make it to the 2008 match,and am yet to give step 2 ck as well..please suggest...asap..thanks and once again,thanks for making a difference to so many of us.good luck,and may you have a wonderful and successful year ahead.
