Hello everyone, I have just registered and I don't now how thie web site works, but it seems good. This is my first post. I ask for advice. I failed step 1. I took only 170 and I don't know when to retake it and to which on-line bank subscribe. So far, I only used USMLERx.

Don't use any Q Bank other than the USMLE World Q Bank.U can supplement it with Kaplan Q Bank.These r the best ones available in the market.
U need to prepare fultime for a period of 5 months.
Good Luck!

U got to use the following materials for Step-1 preparation:
1.Kaplan Lecture Notes for Step-1
2.Goljan Audio for Step-1
3.USMLE World Online Q Bank
4.Kaplan Online Q Bank
5.Kaplan Q Book
6.WebPath for Histopathology Slides
7.First Aid for Step-1
8.WikitestPrep(Free Online Q Bank for Practice)
9.USMLE World Self Assessment tests (Before Exams)
Prepare at least for 5-6 months fulltime and try to score very high on it.
U can get some of the above books from leading book stores.U will have to get the photocopies of the latest Kaplan Lecture Notes as original material is too expensive.See if someone on the forum is willing to sell his/her material to u.U will have to subscribe online for the above mentioned Q-Banks .The websites r www.usmleworld.com and www.kaplanmedical.com .
Good Luck!
