well guys I took the test yesterday, at the beggining was kind of strange feeling, since I didnt know how to face the test, everyone says its a hard test, and very long ...and it really is.. but I got some long questions, some easy, and some harder lol
anyway I arrived to the center really early about 7.30 morning, and prayed to god a little bit ( that is the most important thing to do ) , and got into the screen with my test in front of me...the first coupple of questions were really hard ..I almost freaked out, but then I took a deep breath and calmed down..and continued...when I noticed I had done 3 blocks without any rest..so I took my first break about 10 mins. after that came back and some more qts,,,two more blocks and lunch time....then one block and 10 mins break and finally the last block, so at the end I had like 10 mins break but I was done with my test...So I hope they keep that time for my step 2 ck lol
about the blocks they were really well distributed, but the last ones were really wierd, they asked lots of qts about molecular biology, genetics,...
I got a lot of pictures, microscopic, stool tests, brain, MRI, angiograms, lots of pics....so my advice is you study but dont freack out if u keep forgeting so much stuff ( that was my case) because this test is hard but doable, and please do the USMLE sample material and nmbe forms, I got like 2 qts from cd, and some similar to NMBE forms...
my test was lots of pathology , pharm, micro,,,fourtunatly only coupple of anatomy which is my weak ..too much memory and I hate doing it because I forgot it one week after I learnt....
I would say this is a test, to measure how you can integrate all basic sciences with medicine... and I wish I can get a good score...now I have to take a break and then start study for step 2..
the first lever of the game is over ( unless I fail )
anyway guys please dont freack out and also dont get scared when you find questios that are so hard ......this test is hard but doable...just keep studying...and good luck to everyone...please pray for my score....now I need some time off...and then return reloaded for step 2ck
see you then

I'm glad it was approachable for you. I talked to a friend of mine here at U of M who took it recently and he wanted you to know how they score it: it's weighted on everyone else's scores, not a set score, and he estimates that he answered about 65-70% of the questions correctly and still scored in the high 90's. So, your score will probably be better than you think. I'm looking forward to hearing it (and, of course, hearing about your travel plans to the US).
Con orgullo y amor,
