There is no question that the best strategy
for USMLE success is to know the content tested. Without content knowledge,
your chances of passing, let alone doing well on the Step
1 exam, are slim to none. However, knowing the science doesn't guarantee
a high score. You also need to be able to APPLY that knowledge to USMLE-style
questions. And you need to make sure you can answer the questions in the
allotted time! There is nothing more frustrating than running out of time
on a standardized test.
In addition,
to score well on the USMLE Step 1
you'll need to keep your composure. There will be many questions where
you won't know the answer. Good test takers won't panic! They will systematically
eliminate the distracters they know are wrong and will then guess and
move on.
This site
will contain an ever-growing library of articles focusing on test-taking
strategies. Some articles will be specific for Step
1; others will apply to all the Steps
of the USMLE.
