what will u do next depend on some factors like, how much time u have before ur step 1, how many times u have revised kaplan, did u do fast aid or not. u can start doing nbme and usmleworld assessment test. what i have planned for myself starting nbme forms (each 1 in a week) starting 6 weeks before my step 1. u can follow that but it will be better if u do nbme forms 4-6 weeks before ur exam, so that u can better assess ur condition.

last one in this serie of

Six months after beginning atorvastatin, the patient's total and LDL cholesterol concentrations
remained above normal and he continued to have anginal attacks despite good adherence to his antianginal medications. His physician decided to add ezetimibe. The major recognized mechanism of action of ezetimibe is
A) Decreased lipid synthesis in adipose tissue
B) Decreased secretion of VLDL by the liver
C) Decreased GI absorption of cholesterol
D) Increased endocytosis of HDL by the liver
E) Increased lipid hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase

hi folks,

It finally happened; i got 99! Was worried before the results were out. No more worries now. i will share a little bit of my experience that may be helpful.

Studied for 5 months, full time

with 3 breaks of 1 week each in between

Materials:
Kaplan notes 3 times
Goljan notes 2 times
Goljan audio once
USMLE world once (around 65 - 75%)
kaplan subjectwise questions: around 70%
Kaplan simulation: 74% (3 weeks back)

ECFMG sample questions: 42, 40 & 38 %

Stay cool and calm. It's doable. You have to be focussed; u dun have to study anything else for score like this.

I hope this helps.
