hello to everyone. i just finished writing step 1 on feb 29th. was not hard and not easy either. i should pass. i felt the blocks toward the end were slightly easier than the the beginning. they had all the usual stuff. CT scans were there-an inguinal hernia, splenic vein, brain. they had histopathology-thyroid gland, sq cell ca. also gross specimens-brain to identify the mammilary bodies, brainstem for Cr Nv 6. the behavioral questions were all ok. nothing too hard. one specificity problem. they had 2 questions on telomerases and 2 on imprinting. most of it was pathology, phramac, and physio. all the graphs from physio were there. but it was a well balanced exam. there were a couple of tough ones but not many. not amny questions from virology. think like 3 or 4. had 2 questions from blastomycoses in the same block!
wne tfor the kaplan live lectures which helped a lot. well i used the kaplan notes and hi yield for anatomy. and first aid in the last week. took around 4 1/2 months. i did the kaplan q-bank which is very similiar to the exam. but i feel the real exam is not as tough as q-bank. the usmle cd is too easy i thought. the real test is not that easy. i also did q-book. i used to meet up once a week with my study group and we used to discuss questions from the q-book on each subject. now the tough part is waiting for the results. well hope things go well. good luck to all writing the exam!
