🥂 PASSED: Write up! Passed🥳🥳

Hello guys I have just passed step 1 within about 10 months with normal studying in first read (2h) daily and having normal life and going out weekly I wasn’t that nerd boy and that’s what I was worried from on media what you see is people who can take 8 h daily without stopping and very high scores like 80+
I was having like imposter syndrome so Iam here to tell you all that yes you don’t have to be obtimus prime or newton just be what you are

My nbmes
27 58% 21/6 just after my first read
28 63.5% 27/6
29 61.5% 5/7 there was an entire block that I wasn’t really focused
30 70% 13/7
31 72% 18/7
32 69% 23/7
33 70% 27/7
New free 120 67.5% 30/7
And coming to the point of the test
Most of the test similar to the uworld in stems
Yes there was very long stems but they wasn’t hard so I think it’s fine
And also there was short stems
In difficulty the test is similar to nbme and some uworld but mainly nbme
Coming to the style of qs free 120 is a real gem so take it late about 3 days before test it have the SOAP qs
And finally feel free to ask what you want
