This represents a 240+ score for the Step 1 exam and puts me in the competitive > 90 percentile rank.
During my studies, I used specific study materials, developed analytical skills, mastered answering strategies, and learned key concepts you must know for the USMLE Step 1. This exam is not only about knowing, but also about developing an organized thought process that will boost performance for test takers.
I understand how overwhelming can be to study for the medical boards. There is a lot of information to go through. I worked very hard preparing for this exam, and I hope my experience can help students to improve their performance on the Step 1 exam.
I am also a native Spanish speaker which could be a great fit for the Hispanic community studying for the medical boards.
