Finally took step 1 may 20. Really did not have time to go thru immunolg so had a hard time answering those on d exam day.Do i stil have a chance of having a credible score? Guys pls ur prompt response would be highly appreciated.

  #2

u l do great dun worry tell us a bit more abt ur exam experience?how many questions did u get were they 336 or 350?was it tough?which subject was tested the most

  #3

Thot it would b 336 but surprisingly i had 350. Well virtually all areas,i must say,were tested equally,well may be slightly,i mean just slightly in favor of bch. I think d trend of d exam is changing. Guys! Never under estimate any area cos it just might b the thin line between passing and failing. I hope to pass though but for my immunology Qs.

  #4

what do u mean by a changing trend?plz can u elaborate it would be really helpful as i have my exam on 18th of june?u r saying that there was alot of biochem?was first aid helpful?which source u wud say was the most helpful uworld or kaplans?

  #5

I meant no area is preferentially set more than the other. Well i stuck wt kaplan notes and the 4-vol. Q books were really monumental in my preparation. Really mimicked d real thing. Well only used first aid sparingly. Some say its good but i am indifferent bout it though. Did not use uw. But i hear its very good

thx fuobs for your wishes! I really hope you get the best outcome, u ever dreamt ofnod, in step1, and ahead!

Plz do tell us whether the cycles and flow charts of biochem are really high yield or is it the disease related to enzyme deficiencies that are more significant?

Tough time waiting, but you'll get it big! Did u do NBMEs ?

Best of luck, dear!

Hi dowjunk the bch qs were mostly on diseases related to enzyme def.Wt a few pathway qs. Did not do nbme. Would that affect d outcome of my results? Also i really did not find fa interesting so had to quit reading it. Anyway u should stick to what's best for u!

GL , congrat for being facing the exm the monster wink

Glad to know BioC is disease wise, than p.w wise .

Also good news that no FA doing all , but u can still do teh exm & sound it's ok according to ur post.
I also really not FA fan , but will try to do it , now since u did not do FA & exm is doable then .. will see re FA , seems no choice though .

Immuno is not all qs rt ... so , don't think u sh worry abt ur outcome except hoping for v. high score , I guess .

GL nod
