Our Step 1 prep boosts your basic medical knowledge and gets you ready for the exam with practice, tips, and flexible study materials.
Although USMLE Step 1 is the sole pass/fail test in the USMLE series, its difficulty lies in the extensive range of topics it covers and the significant impact a passing score has on residency program applications.
The scoring for USMLE Step 1 is binary, resulting in either a pass or fail outcome. Candidates who successfully pass the exam receive a simple pass mark, while those who do not pass receive detailed feedback indicating their proximity to the passing threshold. Additionally, they receive content-based feedback to help guide their preparation for subsequent attempts.
The USMLE Step 1 is a single-day computer-based exam conducted at Prometric testing centers. It spans an 8-hour testing session and consists of seven blocks, each lasting 60 minutes and containing 40 questions.
The USMLE Step 1 is a challenging one-day computerized exam evaluating your understanding and application of fundamental concepts in basic sciences to medical practice. Widely considered the most demanding, it covers a breadth beyond typical medical school exams.

Hello all, I am currently doing Dr.taher’s course.We are now at the end of the course.before joining his course i wasn’t able to correlate the things and even i was frustrated as i could not recall anything which i read from kalpan notes .Dr. Taher teaching strategy is different .He will cover high yield topics first and then come to the low yield topics and then he has already covered most of them from first aid and Uworld. The best thing is that he would ask question from the previous topics..
