I will be expanding on this post, this afternoon with more details of exactly how I did things.Hey Guys,I posted a few weeks ago on the topic of what my USMLE Step 1 Score was and it got a lot of attention and quite a few people have asked me to post up what I did to get a 269 on my Step 1.ProofNote that this method is how I got a 269. You are going to sit back and ask yourself, do I really want to work this hard? Surprisingly, or not, it takes a lot of work to this score.I also stole this method from someone who sent it out to their class at a different school and it ended up with me. So all credit goes to him.

Before my method I want to answer some of the most common questions that I have received:Q: Do I need to study before hand?A: I did not at all. I didn't even know how the exam was structured until 6 weeks before hand. I did not use firecracker or any of those other gimmicks.Q: When did you take the test?A: I took the test in June of my third year. It worked for me, some people too it earlier, some later. I don't think it really matters.Q: What resources did you use?A: Look below.Q: All I want is a 230. Is this a good method?A: NO NO NO NO NO. If you want a 230 you can work significantly less hard. This is a method designed to get the best score possible.

This plan was set up to be a 6 week all inclusive exam. I come from a PBL school that does not teach to the exam so I did not do very well on a practice test I took before starting (
