Start the preparation with Step 1 exam, try to complete before you get graduate. Also, try to gain hands-on clinical experience before you graduate they are useful. Then complete Step 2 CK and CS exam.
Try to get have a more than 3 months of hands-on clinical experience in the specialty you want to apply for match. Get all the scores before you submit the application to programs so that you can have more IVs.

For applying to match, IMGs need to have USMLE steps completed (Step 1 and Step 2 CK & CS exam).
Need to have multiple hands-on clinical experience, have a minimum of 3-4 LORs, be ECFMG certified.
