Thanks both of you for replying my message. New-N_Lost, I am studying in carribean. I am almost done with my 2nd last semester of basic sciences. In April I will be starting my last semester. I havent learned much from my classes and i have studied enough just to pass my classes. In other words if i want to start preparing for step, I have no base. I must need to take step in september. I started physio with kaplan like a week ago and have done only 1st day. So t will be great help if someone can help me out making my study schedual and sourse selections. Plz help me asap. I wanna get on the track. thanks

hello,
Do you go to UNIBE?
Im an IMG from UNIBE in Dominican Republic. I was more or less in the same situation as you are.
I did it in 6 month with kaplan videos + kaplan notes +Goljan Notes and Audio + QBANK + UW.
Good luck in your exams.

Kaplan Physio should take you a minimum of 2 weeks and to check yourself in Qbank and then by Kaplan Qbank.
Each subject should take you a minimum of 2weeks more or less except Pathology. That will take you a minimun of 3 weeks. By the looks of it you should be able to finish it off by 3 months as you are a student.
But let me remind you of an important fact Medicine is not getting passing grades and just passing and definitely to score good in USMLE or even just to pass it you will have to put in a lot of hardwork otherwise you would be wasting mostly money but time also.
Well other than this prep shouldnt take much time as you are currently a student so it will be reviewing a lot of recent material. Use High Yield for Neuroanatomy and Goljan for Pathology.
Anything else feel free to ask

Find yourself a study partner who is in your city or join a library change your place and area of study re orient yourself and place this sticker infront you everywhere
"I have to be a good doctor and to that i have to pass MLE and so much time is already wasted and so much money $1000" this will hopefully keep you motivated for almost anyday.

Thanks new-n-lost,
I just finished my 2nd day of physio but i still have to do my reading. I have a study partner but she is also lazy like me. So I am planning to put at least 4 hours evry day. Do you think it will be enough. I still have to study for my classes as well.
