This thread is being introduced as a central reference point for listing all high yield topics for USMLE Step 1. As you study and appear for step 1, you realise that mastering some specific topics can increase your output several fold. After giving the exam, you might also realise that having the right list of topics to study is much more important than working hard. In fact it is possible to boost your score into top most percentiles by focussing only on these high yield topics. This thread is for you all to create and share the list of high yield topics in USMLE step 1 with community help.

Some Rules for Posting in This Thread

1. Mention high yield topics from one subject only per post/reply.
