Is there anyone who did not study First Aid and just studied from Uworld. I have my exam in 3 weeks and have just done Uworld. I read the explanation somewhat. What are your views. I was never comfortable with First Aid. So should I start studying First Aid now?

I'm scheduled to take Step 1 on Feb 11th, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it to study until then. I'm going to finish UWorld first pass in the next few days with a 72%. I took USMLE 19 about 2 weeks ago and scored a 236 (before any dedicated study). I'm not interested in any of the...

if cases end early but it doesn't say the patient is getting better but say a patient was scheduled for surgery and the program says that and ends the case, is that a good sign? If you run out of time on the case before the patient can improve but you put in the correct treatment regimen before...

Greetings, I have a simple request... 1. Fill out the poll about UWorld above. 2. Post on this thread if you have any comments about your specific school and how they manage this. I'm trying to pitch to my deans to help cover the cost of UWorld, but I'd like to get some data first. I'm...

My gf and I are both getting DIT. Is it possible to watch videos simultaneously on one account but using two laptops? Has anyone ever shared a DIT account. Please let me know your experience.

So I'm trying to schedule my step 2 CK date. I have a narrow window for when I can do it. But Prometric has no dates available after February. It's not that they're booked out. They aren't available yet. Anyone, from past experiences, knows when they will be released?

Hey guys! So I took step 1 and didn't do so hot; I passed but not by a lot. I'm currently applying to residencies and ERAS has the option to authorize release of USMLE scores. I'm applying to ACGME programs but I wasn't going to send my scores to any places because I think they'll hurt me...

I authorized by USMLE Transcripts about 3 months ago, I had taken my Step 1. My Step 2 results came in yesterday(pass woohoo!), do I have to update anything or is that updated? I'm wondering because all it says is "Authorized for release 6/30/2018".
