Proven USMLE Step 1 Dedicated Schedule

Proven Track Record of USMLE Step 1 Success

Over the years, I have been guiding students with a highly efficient and proven Step 1 study schedule, which has consistently demonstrated great results. On average, students have seen their Step 1 practice test scores improve by 12-15%, propelling them well beyond the passing threshold on the actual Step 1 examination. This is a testament to the tremendous work ethic and dedication of medical students. My schedule is designed not only to harness your commitment but also to enhance your productivity and provide clear direction on the 'what', 'when', and 'how' of your study path.

USMLE Step 1 High Yield Resources

I strongly recommend focusing your efforts on only four key resources: First Aid, Pathoma, MD Boost Step 1 Question Bank, and MD Boost High Yield Notes. Diversifying beyond these may dilute your efforts and hinder your focus. First Aid, a cornerstone in medical literature for decades, consistently offers high-yield information in a student-friendly format. Pathoma simplifies pathology by presenting it in an easy-to-comprehend outline format.

Our MD Boost Step 1 Question Bank, is a stellar resource with over 2,000 questions designed from a clinical point of view, helping students to develop vital clinical thinking skills required to excel in the USMLE Step exams. Moreover, our question explanations succinctly differentiate between answer choices, preventing lengthy reviews and saving precious time.

MD Boost High Yield Notes has been specially curated to supplement First Aid, enabling students to comprehend the clinical significance of the information within First Aid. A strategic utilization of these four resources has proven to consistently yield excellent scores on Step 1- not just passable, but truly commendable results. It is crucial to remember, a mere aim to pass could potentially result in underperformance; hence, aim to ace it!
