hi to all,

Got my results yesterday so thought of sharing my experiance with you all guys.I m a recent graduate from Russia. Did my medical course in Russian language which i studied for 9 months so you can imagine my situation in the medical school.after studying seven yrs I all most forgot english .When i started my step 1 prep in april it was an herculean task.But I just kept studying with some blind hope.I gave my exam on sept 28 got my ressult yesterday 93/222.Felt relieved.I personally feel that step 1 is doable . But What i learnt fromthis exam is its very very important to be optimistic no matter wht you do.

so be potimistic never loose hope , then succes is always yours gl to all.

thank you guys once again.

Hey falcon,

i didnt do nbme ,reason was i completed all my exam portions 4 days before the exam n also i didnt want to get depressed before the exam so didnt do them.The second reason was i didnt want to spend money on NBME i felt it wasnt worth spending .my advice for you would be keep fa in fingertips n if u had subscribed for UW use it to the maximum.Keep revising and dont read anything new .Do as much mcqs u can. And dont worry too much abt the lengthy exam it wasnt tiring . You can ace it! gl for ur exam
