Hi,

I am a medical student in New Zealand. I want to do the USMLE but i am not sure what is the best time to do it. i am going to third year medicine next February. Should I do the USMLE Step 1 after finishing my third year or should I wait till after graduation? I want to have the highest score possible. What material should I use?

Please help, I will really apprecite it...

Step 1 exam has alot of clinical cases questions. If u have stared the clinical training it would be good, otherwise wait till u finish the clincal training. I know many students who were the top in the class have failed in step 1 because they did the exam just before starting clical training.You should think carefully before u sit the exam. Best wishes.
