How Many Hrs Per Day For Step 1 Prep? 🤔

First off, great and informative channel. I have had this issue. I haven’t been consistent during my prep due to one thing or another. It took me 8 months to go through UWORLD 1st pass. I approached the question bank system wise tutor mode to learn afresh, as I am an older graduate. So, for example I may have done all of cardio in March and am now on Micro in August. But I did not not reinforce the cardio or other subjects along the way. Hence, I am fearful I will forget. Where do I go from here? What should my second pass look like? My subscription expires on Oct 29! Please help.

Hi sir. I’ll be honest I’ve been goofing off for some time now. But if I were to do 8hrs a day, everyday, for six consistent months will I be ready for step 1?

[@usmleguys]

That really depends where you're starting off from. If you're only in need of a thorough review, then six months is more than enough time.

[@andrewcohen786]

With step one being pass and fail now has it become more difficult as far as it’s questions are concerned ? Thanks for your videos .

[@usmleguys]

No, the content and question difficulty hasn’t changed

[@usmleguys]

Step 1 prep is a full time job.

what about kids

[@usmleguys]

I don’t understand the question… what are you asking?

[@sarainsanelyyinsane1691]

But for how long? Weeks? Months?

[@usmleguys]

Until your NBME exams tell you that you’re highly likely to pass… some students take a few weeks, some take months - everyone is different.

​@@usmleguys how much should someone get in nmbe to pass in the real exam + which nmbe or it doesn't matter

[@usmleguys]

@@thefamouschannel7787 70+ percent at least / and the form doesn’t matter as long as it’s the new form, it’s being done for the first time, and is done online, timed, etc.

@@usmleguys so offline is not good enough ? And online you mean actually buying a new one

[@usmleguys]

@@thefamouschannel7787 yes! Offline NBMEs aren’t sufficient to assess readiness.
