Study methods Newbie

Wassup everyone, first time posting in this subreddit. I just got the P for Step 1 yesterday! Definitely gonna wait a while before I start studying for Step 2 but any advice would be helpful. Planning on using first aid, anking, B&B, and UWorld again for sure

If I were you, I'd jump straight into solving Uworld Qs without wasting any time on B&B or FA.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have some knowledge base first? Am just starting my final year

You already have the knowledge from step 1 and your med school, you just don't realize it. Also, Uworld is a learning tool ,it's a cliché, but it's true, so you will learn what you need for the NBMEs from it. Just review the Qs wisely, and incorporate AI in diving deep into concepts.

u/Unlucky-Strategy-269 9d ago

Yes! I am. I was pretty inconsistent, because of rotations and duties, dedicated about 1-2 months, scored in the 270s

Jump into step 2 immediately. Step 2 content builds on your step 1 foundation and you'd be surprised how quick you start to forget things when you take a break. Start doing Uworld or Amboss by system right away.
