@lastoneleft - A)stop saying you have a bad memory or you wont be able to use it at all. first aid is your last resource. i cant tell you what to study coz i dont know what you know and what you dont know. but if you did everything i told you to do in the first post in this thread you'll be fine.

dear seven_fingers ...im confused about the way by which i have to memorize some facts...for instance: when it comes to memorize things like gram + gram- ..catalase + catalase-...coagulase+ and -...dominant vs recessive ...etc ..... my q is : should i write down these things on a table and memorize them or it is better to study them randomly ?? thanks in advance

hey seven finger im a silent reader of ths forum,read ur post.. very motivating, hope u r doing good in ur residency. i wanted to ask u which first aid do u think is better the 2007 or the 2008 one? plus r the goljan audio lectures enough or do i have to do goljan rapid review too for a good score.

@Aishri - if those are your scores 95+ is assured as long as you don't screw up on the exam day and keep a cool head @abummeis - yep. if writing them down makes it easier to remember - tahts your system - just use it. @happy_go_lucky - i used the 2007 one. i don think theres any difference. the audio lectures are enough. but you need the high yield questions too. All the best to y'all test takers. God bless you.

I hope this reply isn't too late but your actual step1 experience is one of the first ones where I said, ok, this guy did not lie. True honesty and humility. Thanks for your time to share. God bless you always (if I had control).

Well, I hope you DIDNt lie lol cause your story reminds me of mine in a way;; and if you did good, I want to assume I might do well as well. :P lol Cheers Now if I could find some good correlation of Qbank scores to actual step 1 performance... :P When I first would try Qbanks at random, I'd score 30's, 33%. Did half a read of kaplan I'd score like.. 46-50s. Now that I did kaplan live lecture, I'm somewhere around 60-68%, if I were to be honest, perhaps 65%. of course, sometimes I've scored higher but thats the average. hehe. I apologize for the thread hijack btw, Im sure I could've started a new thread, but since you're here already... :P Cheers

i heard a lot of people read this thing. just a few more additional things: 1.make sure you know your basics cold. you have to know it well enough to explain it to someone. 2.you will not score badly on the test for a lack of material. you already have all the material you need if you are spending so much time on this forum. 3.if you don't know - don't be lazy. find out. what you don't know will come back to bite you in the butt.
