USMLE has released 150 items in their website in each of the Steps. They also released items descriptions in their website. Make sure you know all the questions and their answers (found in Kaplan website), and the item descriptions.

I am at the current time working on a syllabus for all the steps. If you want me keep you updated, please let me know. Good luck. Comprehensive understanding of the materials is the key to your success in all the steps. Best to your future. Ray.

First you need a plan and second you need to stick with it.
Make realistic goals.The order I would follow goes like this:
1-ANATOMY(CELL BIOLOGY,histo,embryo,neuroanatomy and gross with emphasis on clinical landmarks and procedures)
2-PHYSIOLOGY(pathophysiology cardio, pulmonary, renal, endocrine and neuroscience )
3-PATHOLOGY(most common and crossover disorders, atlas for gross and microscopic pictures)
4-PHARMACOLOGY(top 10 drugs, mechanism of action, toxicities and side effects)
5-BIOCHEMISTRY(genetics, fed and starved states)
6-MICROBIOLOGY(gram pos. vs. gram negs , viruses)
7-BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES(graphs,legal and ethical,and what would you tell a patient in certain circumstances)
FOR BOOKS USE FIRSTAID AS A GUIDE .
