Hi everybody,
Lots of newbies visit Step 1 forum everyday and they find it difficult to locate the important threads. This has led to a spate of naive questions which have already been extensively discussed and elaborated. Its hard for others to answer them repeatedly so they are left wanting for a proper reply.
So i've tried to list the most important threads of USMLE
Step 1 forum. PLEASE GO THROUGH THEM FIRST and post in relevant threads when possible. Try not to start a new thread for every single query.
1. A complete overview of MLE can be read in this thread.
2. For discussion on which books to read for step 1:
3. Want to know what will help you get a better residency slot, look in this post and find out what all is important for Program Directors (PDs):
4. If you are going through the rigors of Step 1 application process, this is THE thread to read:
5. How important is coaching in USMLE
preps, find out in this thread:
6. An effort to collect various high yield facts for Step 1 in this thread:
7. A first hand experience of how to tackle MLE and exam experiences in the following thread:
8. Read these Debates on future prospects of MLE:
9. A discussion on fellowships and its pros n cons:
10. Another discussion on Merits and Demerits of choosing MLE over other exams:
11. NBME exam FAQs:
12. If you are groping in the dark on how to get your Medical School Transcripts ready, go through this thread:
13. An effort to find out what exactly MLE score signifies:
14. A discussion on whether surgery is gettable in US:
15. A discussion on salaries of doctors in USA:
16. A discussion on pros n cons of taking MLE during MBBS:
17. A unique piece of inspiring work - daily preparation log by a USMLE

HI Everyone,
So AshB proves yet again that he's the original RockStar of the Forum!!Great work indeed!!
In the past few weeks the USMLE
forum was cluttered with so many repeated and uncessary queries.
If all aspirants go through the threads enlisted( so elaborately) by AshB, Im sure 75% of the queries shall be solved.I found all my queries regarding the ecfmg application process answered on the application forum.
Please do take some time out to read the relevant thread.Posting is alwys welcome as every new question enhances our knowledge.
Happy Studyn every1!
Goodluck and Godbless..

Well u are right pass_usmle, it does get irritating at times. But when we consider that anyone who comes here is initially unaccustomed to posting rules and most have never before posted in a community forum.
Thats y i usually try to answer them in short with a piece of advice to read d forums first. Its satisfying that many get d point once they are told.

 OMG!!!!! who's taken time out to visit us today!!!! Welcome dana, long time no see!!!!
I'm afraid this thread of mine will be lost as time passes. I dunno how to keep it active so that all newbies can see d links!??!?!?! I request RxPG team to make it sticky. At least that'll help a bit.

HI,
Thanx for the welcome..but I was very much here on RxPG...if ur talking about my missing posts..well thot they'd be lost somewere in the forum..
I agree with making this thread sticky..plz RxPG team..trust u ppl do come up with someting..Im terrible with the technical aspects.
In fact its gonna do justice to all other threads mentioned in this thread..so much information on those threads goes unnoticed..
Happy studyn every1!
