My usmle step 1 is after tomorrow...any last minute advice?

Question

about revision and the test taking......

thanx

Answer 1

Remember this...First instinct is best instinct

I took a few minute (3-4) break after each section, ate a little energy bar, few drinks of the energy drink and went to the bathroom then went back in.  Also do the Step 1 orientation tonight so you can skip through this part and get more time for break.  (Below link)

Also, check question #48 first, if they give you a multimedia question it will be the last one.  Do it first so you aren't scrambling at the end if you're in a time crunch.  

Good luck, put the books down and get a good night sleep.  

Answer 2

good luck!

be confident and you will do great!

Answer 3

Get some sleep, that one's a bugger! Stay calm during the exam and take the breaks, it helps. The only other thing is to be careful about spending too much time on questions, you have an hour for each block so you think that's plenty of time but there are a ton of case study questions with slides, images, labs, etc. that are pretty long. Good luck man & I hope you're sphincters aren't too sore and distended when you get out of there!
