I’m grateful to share that I’ve passed USMLE Step 1!

For anyone preparing, here’s what worked for me:

Main resources:
• UWorld as my primary resource
• First Aid (selective review)
• Pathoma (thoroughly)
• Sketchy Micro
• AMBOSS for ethics
• AMBOSS 200 HY Concepts
• Mehlman PDFs: HY Arrows, Ethics, Neuroanatomy, CVS, MSK
• Dirty Medicine YouTube videos

Practice scores:
• NBME 28: 65%
• NBME 29: 73%
• NBME 30: 71%
• NBME 31: 73%
• NBME 32: 79%
• NBME 33: 78%
• AMBOSS SA: 76%
• Free 120: 78%

Exam Day Experience:
The exam felt doable and was most similar to the latest NBMEs and Free 120.

Consistency, question practice, and focused revision made the biggest difference.

Best of luck to everyone on this journey—you can do it!
