Thank you all.
dstar I took my test on Jan 31st. Got score report on The Best week end of my life i.e Feb 24.
I studied for 10 months in all but seriously I would say 6-7 months average 4 hours daily. I work
full time. Married having a three years old cutie pie son who likes to play with dada all the time.
I soley read First AID. I really mean it. I would say one can easily touch 90 + if some one could
assimilate FA and only FA. It is rightly called "The BIBLE of USMLE STEP 1". It covered most of the
MCQ's I came across. I could have gotton 90+ had I not changed my answers and commit stupid
mistakes. It was mainly bcoz I almost fininish all the blocks with 10 minutes remaining.
Never ever change your answers until and unless you are 110% sure about it.
Besides FA, I only did USMLEWORLD as far as MCQ's are concerned. To me I would rate
the combination of FA and USMLEWORLD as "The LETHAL".
This is a very brief experience. I hope this helps.
I would be more than happy to answer any other question if some one has.
I would like to thanks all of you once again.

thanks again.
Yeah, anjali I am currently in US. Yeah, I agree it is difficult to get started after such a long time.
I have also passed FCPS ( fellowship exam) in pakistan in 1999. So I did not have much problem
grasping things.
I wish every one the best of luck.

Sany by lethal i meant the combination for knocking down STEP1. you must have
heard of "CRUSH the board". you understand the meaning of "CRUSH" right?
You rightly said UW is"RICH in concepts". I agreed.
Thanks epica, I scored 55% on UW.
