Good classes for USMLE Step 1 was created by gpacfan
Does anyone wish they would have taken some different classes in their undergrad so their first year and USMLE Step 1 scores weren't so bad. What classes did you find beneficial in undergrad (immunology, histology, A&P, Behavior, Pathophys, etc)

What do you think?

Replied by on topic The only undergrad classes that
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

Replied by on topic I did the full Kaplan
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..
