Good classes for USMLE Step 1

Someone told me about this website but it doesn't look like any questions get answered around here.

The only undergrad classes that may help make med school a little easier (apart from the basic requirements) are biochem, physiology and maybe anatomy. None of these are really needed, but it may make your life a little easier. I didn't think med school was nearly as difficult as I expected it to be. In fact, I rarely went to class and just studied on my own. USMLE Step I is all about med school stuff, so don't even start thinking about it as an undergrad. By the way, if you have questions you want answered, try posting in the Ortho residency forum section or interview section- not many people post in the USMLE section. Later

Thanks for your help Raven.

I did the full Kaplan USMLE review course and found it very helpful. Although it was 8 hours each day- it was the motivation and regimented schedule I needed. The lecturers are well spoken and up to date with the latest test questions.

At the least, the Kaplan books & Q Bank are top notch material. I used them almost exclusively despite owning NMS, Chung anatomy & Robbins path review. The other book I used a lot was Buzzwords for the Boards- quick Recall format was good even for watching TV or dropping a deuce bomb.

Best of luck to everyone. It is all downhill from there..
