My USMLE Step 1 Score !!!

I have been waiting all morning and the mail has finally arrived. I sort through the mail, palms sweaty, heart pounding, knees weak, sensing that today is the day. Amidst the pile of credit card bills, junk mail, and magazines...there it is! This is what I've been waiting for...the much anticipated envelope from none other than the ECFMG! I run through several scenarios in my mind. I've failed. No I haven't. I actually studied for this exam. Failing was never an option. I started this process working towards a 99, and I feel as though I have a legitimate chance at achieving this goal. I turn the envelope over and over with my shaking, sweating hands, attemping to muster the fortitude to open it. Ok, it's time. The moment of truth has arrived. Usually, I would open my mail with a blunt letter opener, but this time, I opt to do away with my normal mail opening ritual in favour of a more animalistic approach. I tear the envelope open with all the vigor of a child opening presents on Christmas morning. Inside, I find a rather unimpressive piece of paper, my future printed casually yet firmly on it. This is my golden ticket and the ECFMG is my Willy Wonka. And there it is. My score. Gasp! I rub my eyes. Is this for real or am I hallucinating? Am I holding the page upside-down? Is Elvis still alive? Nope! It's real!


The summer of hard work has paid off.

Great blog, its really given me an idea of what I need to be reading. I'm going to med school in the UK, but I;m worried that I won't be able to do step 1 straight after we've done pre-clinical as the exam is clinical based and I won't have been near a patient. Did you do it before clinical or straight after the medical sciences? Also, how long did you leave yourself to revise for the step?

I'm planning on reviewing for the step all through the first 2 years of med school and then leave myself 2 months in the summer holidays after the second year to review and do qbook etc. should this be enough?

Sorry for the long post.

And congrats for the results, im just hoping i can get them too.

I have purchased USMLE STEP 3 BOOKS from www.usmleworldwide.com and i am pretty much satisfied from their prices and service. On the top of all, after sale service is unprecedented. So if someone is looking to purchase used books for usmle exam preparation then I would suggest them to check this website.
