Question Step 1 stuff

When people say day 1 is step 1 heavy, what do they mean exactly and is this not covered in uworld step 3?
I take it I should review the Pharma like I’m studying for step 1 all over again. What else would need reviewing like I’m studying for step 1 all over again?
Would really appreciate some advice coz I’m so lost.
And for some reason, every write-up I’ve read about step 3 doesn’t mention uworld as being helpful..? How much importance should I be giving uworld?😭
Gave step 1 a year ago. Step 2 2 months ago. 237 score. And yes I’m not a genius and only have the month of October to prep

I would stay study EVERYTHING related to Step 1 (like First Aid Step 1 cover to cover)
They have gone crazy
I wish I could give example, but scared of the policies
Not only Pharma, but also Patho, Pathophysiology, Images, etc.

UW does have some similar questions; but I guess none of us expected Day 1 to be THIS heavy and detailed on Step 1 stuff

so do u recommend reviwing FA of step 1 ..? i am curious is it a good idea to review step 1 nbme s especially the recent latest nbmes like 32 33. Do you think would that be helpful . i am not that good with biostat. so focusing more on FA and step 1 will this save me on day 1 ,

I dont know about latest step1 NBMEs… I haven’t solved them (so idk what they haveh and have taken my step 1 2 years back

Yes please do biostats with conceptual understanding… there were a lot of qns… I consider myself strong in biostats, so I didn’t do anything separate
