Timeline is very important while you are preparing for usmle step1

You Must know how much have you done, how much is left, are you prepared have you jumped into NBMEs , all these questions should be answered and then plan for step 1 triad.

Dont go for booking triad too early prepare well take all the time.

Its better to be late then to fail.
