Surviving Step 1: Countdown – the Weeks Prior

By Walter Wiggins
3-4 weeks prior to Test Day
This is a great time to take a self-assessment. If you haven’t done a full-length simulation of the Step 1 exam, I recommend you do that now. Take special care to review your practice exam and identify any remaining weaknesses (e.g. antiarrhythmics, GI pathology). With 3-4 weeks left, you should have plenty of time to work in a little extra review in these areas.

As you prepare for the USMLE Step 1, one of the things you should be doing every day is practice questions. I firmly believe in the importance of using a question bank, so I’m going to present my test-taking strategies with the assumption that you’re using one. I’ll also assume that you’re going to take a self-assessment or two in the process to give you a chance to figure out your test-taking strengths and weaknesses with respect to Step 1. Clearly, time management is going to be an important issue for most people, so there will be a considerable emphasis on methods for maximizing your use of time.
