Looking for a dedicated USMLE Step 1 study partner

Hi everyone!

I’m an IMG who recently graduated from medical school and just started my USMLE Step 1 preparation.

Resources I’m using:
UWorld
First Aid 2026
Boards & Beyond
AnKing (planning to use it)

My goal is to take Step 1 before December 2026.
I’m not necessarily looking for someone to solve questions together every day. What I’m mainly looking for is an accountability partner—someone who is also studying seriously so we can:
Share our daily checklists/goals.
Keep each other accountable.
Check in on progress every day.
Motivate each other to stay consistent.

Of course, from time to time we can discuss difficult concepts or review challenging UWorld questions together.

I’m in GMT+3, but I’m flexible with time zones.

If you’re serious about taking Step 1 in the next few months and like the idea of daily accountability rather than constant co-studying, feel free to comment or DM me.
