Thanks to Allah!
Hi! to all

At last but not da least i am here to post up my experiences...
This forum is just a real beauty, i must say.. that helped me quiet well..
It took more than 8 months to appear in the Step1 examination.
Started slowly, studying 3-4 hrs/day.
Slowly it gained speed...
In the end, it was in the hurry ven i could extend ma date but i didnt do it.. rather i burnt my boats and took my 1st NBME examination jst 5 Days before my exam.

My results are as follows:

NBME Forum#2 online: 420 equivalent to 199/81 (5 Days before exam)
got worried alot because i had no time left to extend my final date shaking head

NBME Forum#1 downloaded portion: (420 equivalent to 199/81) 3 Days before exam.

CD exams 1,2 & 3: 32, 40 & 32 (45 days before exam)

Q-Bank: Did all questions once and revised 40% of them scoring between 60 and 80 percent (in blocks of 50)

USMLE World: Did all questions twice scoring between 60 and 80 percent (in blocks of 50) mostly falling around 70.

ORIGINAL EXAM DATE: 24-01-2008

FINaL RESuLT: 205/84

I am so so happy that i did alot better than in NBME (that was given jst 5 days bfore exam)

I still believe that i could get my score above 90 by jst extending my final date by one month but still i am happy with my score smiling face

I also believe that one can get above 90 percentile if one corrects every 37 of every 50 Questions.
Wish u best of luck from the core of my Heart.

Now its time to prepare for Step2...

I will need your prayers wishes AND feedbacks smiling face
