Every human being has only two futures
a) living life in despair , which inevitably happens whn a person starts depending his happiness on others , some guys depend their happiness on gals n r tossed around
b) Doing full efforts happily but not depending happiness on anyone,
path shown by God n wisdom

hi,
I took step1 yesterday in London hurray!. And the celebrations stops their because the exam was fricking difficult and god very high standard. I will tell you guys somebody tells you they got 99 they are genius. There is no luck factor at all. You have to know it that is all. May be I am an old graduate finished MBBS 10years ago my experience may not be similar to you young graduates and would be graduates but I will tell you again unless you are prepared do not step in to the MLE.
I didn't mean to scare you guys I just wanted you to know what is behind that closed doors and when you open it you shouldn't be shocked and wanting to run away. I got a little voice in my head telling me to run away believe me but I sat whole 7 hours exam and finished and I was ok so it is doable like others say.
I will write what you might expect in MLE step1 in the next post

hi again,
So the questions were 10%easy, 20% answerable, 50% challenging and the remaining very difficult I guesses. ( the percentages are aproximate and it is variable on ones IQ by the way mine is 70). I can't disucuss the questions as per the ecfmg rules. sorry about that.
In anatomy there were few questions, answerable ( read kaplan and usmle world mcqs). I had MRI of brain asking me to point at artery supplying the part of the brain and structutes of brain which is important in certain clinical presentation. And then questions asking to point in diagram the embryological derivatives like neural crest cells etc,
In physiology there were so many pictures everything is in either tables or graphs so for example in hypotension what are the baroreceptor, peripheral and pulmonary vascular resistance in table format and relation between phenylephrine and Ach action on aortic endothelium in graphs. And of course questions on neuromuscular junctions ach and epinephrine actions.

And In biochemistry the questions were all application of what we read in kaplan and usmle world mcq nothing straight forward. how to prepare I guess we need prepare the same well and apply.
Pathology the shock was the questions were lengthy and please look into all the pathological and histological pictures of major and important tumors such as teratoma and others in reverse directions that means you should be able to tell from the picture what the tumor is without any background information.
In pharmacology the questions were answerable but to my surprise there asked the treatment for some conditions like multiple sclerosis.
Microbiology answerable with kaplan and usmle but all were lengthy and time consuming. The questions on psychiatry were ok.
The pedigree questions were difficult.
Overall I attempted all questions but I know I must have answered only 50% right but the rest I sincerely don't know. I don't know if it helped I just wanted it out of system so I posted these topics good luck.
