Step 1 advice
Hey
Ive currently been preparing for my Step 1 exam, im full time home and aim on giving it around August 2026. Ive taken my permit till Sept.
Im currently done with 40% of uworld (not yet done with all the systems tho) and been scoring a maximum of 56% on my good days. This usually stresses me out a lot as I feel I’m no where near ready for this.
I’m almost done with my first pass but there’s still a lot of knowledge gaps to fill and I’m really stressed. Should I just postpone my exam to Sept?
And I wanted to know how important is biochem as that’s the one thing that just doesn’t stick for me 😭😭😭
Do people prefer using UWSAs for self assessment or should I not waste anytime and stick to only nbmes.
And is it compulsory that I need to score above 70% at least in the nbmes as this keeps stressing me considering I’m nowhere near ready.
I’m also applying for rotations sideways so this process feels stressful currently.
Any advice will help
