About this Schedule

Never settle for low scores. Everyone is

capable of great scores if preparation is
done the right way.

Despite the upcoming changes to USMLE® scoring, the USMLE® Step 1 is still very import-
ant. Your 3-digit score is currently used as a gatekeeper for competitive and sought-after
residency programs; when Step 1 switches to Pass/Fail, this marker will fall to Step 2 CK.
Starting as early as March 2021, you will have to pass Step 1 in order to even take Step 2
CS. Don’t let the opportunity to shine on Step 1 slip through your fingertips.

You want to do the absolute best now!

Moreso, don’t let any other medical student or anyone for that matter tell you that you
cannot dominate the USMLE® Step 1 exam. Every year, students around the world achieve
top scores and match into their residency programs of choice. ANY medical student can
do well on the USMLE® Step 1 exam; it’s all about how you strategically plan and carefully
study for the exam.

Traditionally, students spend roughly three months studying in a dedicated fashion for the
USMLE® exam. This 99-day intensive study schedule will teach you how to structure
your time and your study plan to make the most of your dedicated USMLE® study period
and dominate the exam. Simply stated, if you carefully follow this study plan, you will be
equipped with everything you need to earn a high score on the USMLE® Step 1 exam.

Over the course of the next 99 days, you will:

• Actively watch about 270 hours of high-yield video lectures
• Test your knowledge with 9,000+ recall questions
• Review more than 630 pages in the First Aid® for the USMLE® Step 1 book
• Complete 2,500+ challenging USMLE®-style questions using the Lecturio Qbank

Refer to our Medical School Survival Guide to learn more about proven
test-taking strategies, crucial facts about the USMLE® exams, and helpful
advice for studying at the highest efficiency and with the greatest recall.
The Medical School Survival Guide is your companion: Rely on it to help
you survive from the first day of medical school until you match into your
top-choice residency program. You need to transition to this study
guide once you start your dedicated USMLE® Step 1 preparation – and
once you transition, make sure to follow this study plan closely.

How This Schedule Was Created
Every medical student has his or her own techniques for learning, studying, and test taking.
It goes without saying that medical students are excellent at time management and
studying effectively, and demonstrate it by performing well on examinations.
Preparing for the USMLE® Step 1 exam is extremely different than studying for a traditional
medical school exam. The main challenges of studying for the USMLE® Step 1 are picking
which resources to use, knowing how to study effectively with those resources, and imple-
menting test taking strategies unique to the USMLE® exam.
For decades, students have received words of wisdom from upperclassmen at their medi-
cal schools regarding how to perform well on USMLE® Step 1. Lecturio has taken this tradi-
tional principle of asking advice from upperclassmen and elevated it to the highest level:
evidence-based recommendations. Lecturio has worked directly with medical students,
residents, and attending physicians across the nation who have done well on the USMLE®
Step 1 exam. Through this intensive research process, Lecturio has learned the studying
and test taking strategies that consistently lead to great USMLE® Step 1 scores and this
information will be shared in this study schedule.

The evidence-based strategy presented in this schedule is based on the the three
phases of gaining knowledge, reviewing, and applying knowledge. The tricks and
strategies for each of these phases will be described in detail below. Furthermore,
with this schedule, you can closely follow along with your First Aid® book.

About Lecturio:
Walk into any Lecturio meeting and the focus is on
producing the highest quality educational resources
that lead to student success. Lecturio has worked with
medical education leaders across the nation to produce
an evidence-based comprehensive medical school and
USMLE® preparation platform.

How To Use This Schedule
The 99-day study schedule is built around a repetitive cycle of gaining knowledge, then
reviewing and applying that knowledge for each subject or organ system. This study plan
closely parallels the order and structure of the First Aid® for the USMLE® Step 1 book.
Let’s discuss the components of this repetitive learning cycle:

Gain knowledge
Lecturio provides high-quality video lectures given by world-class
professors. These lectures impart in-depth knowledge that helps
you understand the relevant medical concepts required to master
the USMLE® Step 1 exam.
The video lectures are supported with recall questions that let you
gauge your attentiveness and check your comprehension. Feel like
looking something up to reinforce your knowledge? Lecturio articles
provide textbook-style chapters for this exact purpose.

Review
After you learn the relevant high-yield concepts for USMLE® Step 1,
you then need to review and start memorizing the material. With that
in mind, you’ll study the relevant pages in First Aid® that correspond
to the Lecturio videos you have watched. You’ll review these
high-yield facts and work hard to memorize as much content as you
feasibly can.

Apply knowledge
At this stage in the learning process, you will draw upon what you
have learned about the relevant concepts and what you have
memorized with the final goal being that you’re able to successfully
answer USMLE®-style questions using Lecturio’s Qbank.
The Qbank provides you with expertedly designed USMLE®-style
questions. Best yet, each question has high-yield and detailed
explanations for each correct and incorrect answer option.
The Qbank features include the ability to configure by subject and
by organ system, filter questions, mark questions, view lab values,
repeat previous tests, and enter tutor mode, test mode, timed mode,
review mode, and much more.

 How To Use This Schedule

1. Develop a routine and simulate test-like situations

We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to adhere to your study routine. Make sure
you maintain a disciplined, steady study-flow at all times. Though each day the number of
Qbank questions you review will change, try to utilize study methods such as the Pomodoro
Technique to block your time and to maximize your efficiency. But don’t treat every day like an
exam day – there are dedicated recap days and practice test days for that.

2. Develop a routine and simulate test-like situations

With this schedule you are not only studying test materials, you are also learning the test-
taking strategy required to pass the USMLE® exam. The physical and mental environment in
which a question is delivered is just as important as its content.

Lecturio’s unique Qbank Walkthrough Tutorials course & eBook will take you through 30
USMLE®-style questions step-by-step, teaching you how to correctly read a question stem
and isolate each key component. They will also guide you through the multi-step reasoning
required for each question before reviewing that question’s specific high-yield information.

3. Test and apply your knowledge

Once it’s time to start practicing clinical case questions, start your first Qbank block, which is
automatically configured in “tutor mode.” As you go through each question, read the answer
explanations. You’ve already looked at the First Aid® references and watched the associated
video lectures, but you can do this again when needed to fully understand the concepts
presented. When completing your recaps (Days 28, 29, 98, and 99), the Qbank is preconfigured
in “test mode” to simulate the USMLE® testing environment. It is also recommended you
complete a Self-Assessment before you start the 99-day schedule and at least one full Pratice
Exam at the end (or add a few days in the middle to achieve this).

6|
How To Use This Schedule
A substantive understanding of medical concepts is crucial when mastering the USMLE®
Step 1 exam. In the actual exam, time is very limited; however, using the concepts you have
come to understand during your studies can lead you to the correct answers every time.
You will also need to memorize certain facts and buzzwords in order to efficiently manage
your time during the USMLE® exam.

For example, if you have been told that a patient is a cave explorer, you need to think histo-
plasmosis. This is simple association. Another example is knowing that Hemoglobin A1c is
the 3-month average of a patient’s blood sugar levels.

The list of high-yield must-know facts goes on and on. The point we want to make is that
in order to get a high score on the USMLE® exam, you need to not only have an in-depth
understanding of the content, but you also need to memorize plain facts.

Using evidence-based learning strategies is easy with Lecturio – in fact, if

you’re using this study schedule, you’re already using some of these strate-
gies! Interleaving, or learning by alternating the materials being studied, is
easy with the following tips.

Interleaving Tip 1: Review content with the help of explanations

After each question, always opt to review and carefully read the explanations provided.
Make sure to read both correct and incorrect answer explanations; there is just as much va-
lue in understanding why an answer is wrong as there is in understanding the right answers.

Interleaving Tip 2: Review with the help of Lecturio’s related videos

Supplement your understanding of the material by consulting Lecturio’s related videos.
Each video reference has been handpicked by board exam experts and explains the rele-
vant concept needed to answer each specific Qbank question.

Interleaving Tip 3: Take notes and review with the help of First Aid® references
Before answering questions, review the topics in First Aid®. When first studying with your
copy of First Aid® for the USMLE® Step 1, knowing how to use the book in the most efficient
manner may be confusing. The First Aid® book is not written like a traditional textbook, with
paragraphs. Instead, it is full of bullet points, charts, and pictures. The most efficient way to
implement First Aid® is to use it as a reference and for note-taking. When you watch Lectu-
rio videos and want to jot down some notes, do it in First Aid®. If you’ve just worked through
a Qbank block and want to add some notes or read the topic highlights, use First Aid®. Lec-
turio is your digital learning platform; First Aid® is your physical pen-and-paper platform.

How To Use This Schedule
You know the material, now make sure you‘re ready for exam day itself

As you’re studying, you’ll be generally familiarizing yourself with a testing environment, as

the Lecturio Qbank mirrors what you’ll experience when you take the exam. However, what
is not included in every day of this schedule is the time pressure you will feel on exam day.

Enter the NBME®. The National Board of Medical Examiners plays a role in creating the US-
MLE® exams, so you’ve likely heard the name already. You may have even heard of NBME®
Subject Exams (for which Lecturio also has subject exam prep). As part of your USMLE®
Step 1 prep, we recommend you take the NBME®’s Comprehensive Basic Science Self-As-
sessment (CBSSA). This self-assessment examination is highly regarded by medical stu-
dents as a score forecaster for the actual exam. Most students report that they score very
closely to the results received on their CBSSA. The comprehensive self-assessments start
at $60 per exam, and there are a variety of versions available. Additional features, such as
performance profiles, are available at an additional cost.

When you take the CBSSA and/or one of Lecturio’s Practice Exams or Self-Assessments,
make sure to set aside dedicated time and remove all distractions. Do your best to simula-
te your future testing environment: put away your cell phone, turn off notifications on your
computer, and sit at an empty desk with paper and pencil and nothing else. Make your tes-
ting environment as close to the real deal as you can. Choose the “standard-paced” option
to mimic the timing conditions of the USMLE® (this is automatically configured on Lecturio’s
self-assessments and practice exams, but you can also use “timer mode” when you create a
custom test in the Qbank for yourself).

After you have completed the CBSSA or a Lecturio self-assessment/practice test, take the
time to make notes of the questions you got wrong and the correct answers. Unfortunate-
ly, the CBSSA does not provide answer explanations; it simply shows the incorrect answer
you selected, and the correct answer. It is up to you to figure out why the correct answer is
correct. In order to do this, go back to your First Aid® book and read the relevant section.
Repeat any of the steps explained in this guide if needed.

Also: Make sure to consult the USMLE® website for the most up-to-date information on
what you can and should bring with you on test day.

Keep in mind upcoming changes to the USMLE® examinations:

– All examinees will be required to pass Step 1 as a prerequiste to take Step 2 CS

(implemented no earlier than March 1, 2021)
– The number of attempts per Step or Step Component will decrease from 6 to 4
(implemented no earlier than July 1, 2021)
– Step 1 will change to pass/fail (implemented no earlier than January 1, 2022)

The Lecturio Qbank at a Glance

Lecturio’s Qbank questions are at least as good as Uworld’s, some say better. Don’t belie-
ve us? Try them out! All Lecturio Qbank questions are based on the most recent NBME®
standards, meaning all questions are very similar to USMLE® exam question formats. This
is crucial – practice questions that have been written as closely as possible to the format
and style of the real exam questions will prepare you better than just learning the content.
What’s more, we can even offer you an examination environment with our exam-simulation
interface. If you switch to “test-mode,” you’ll be given the same technical settings, just like in
the real exam.

Almost every Qbank question is a real-life clinical scenario with up-to-date and informative
illustrations. This also helps make everything as true to test day as possible. However, as
you study and learn with the Qbank you’ll also find detailed explanations to all incorrect
and correct answer choices; these accentuate the professional learning environment that is
Lecturio.

Our Qbank offers something no one else does – Lecturio links all of its relevant, high-yield
video lectures to every concept discussed in every Qbank question. Why is this so great?
Because you can apply what experts call “reverse studying;” instead of going through a
bulk of material, of which only a percentage will be relevant for the USMLE® exam, you can
selectively watch those explanatory videos in which you display obvious knowledge gaps.
Awesome, right? And as if this wasn’t enough, you’ll also find the most up-to-date, handpi-
cked First Aid® references added to each question whenever you switch “tutor mode” on.

When you‘re working through this schedule though, you don‘t have to adjust anything –
we have it all set up and ready for you!

walks you through 30 individual case questions for Step 1.

Worked through the entire schedule?
That’s great, well done!

Good things are coming.

Just keep going…!

Congratulations! Now give yourself another day off to relax and recharge. You deserve it!
Three months of intense studying with only three days off was certainly exhausting, but
soon you will reap the fruits of your intensive labor. You will take USMLE® Step 1 well prepa-
red and you will have the right mindset to dominate the exam. If you still have time remai-
ning before the exam date and you want to spend it studying, it’s recommended that you do
Qbank only. Complete as many blocks of 40 questions as you can, hitting all subjects and
all systems as before.

Consult the Medical School Survival Guide again and make sure you did everything
recommended. Make sure you familiarize yourself with the logistics of getting to the test
center and the formal requirements of sitting for the USMLE® on test day. Remember to
bring your identification and test permit. You will not be allowed to take the exam without
these documents. Refer to the USMLE® website for full details on the required material to
bring with you on test day, as well as the rules regarding what you can wear or bring to the
testing center.

If you followed all of the advice in this 99-day intensive study schedule, then you should
be in great shape on test day. Sure, you might be nervous, but the confidence you have
built up in yourself over the course of 99 days of intensive study can go a long way in
helping you overcome any amount of jitters. This is a test you can dominate because
you’re ready for it. This is a test you can score outrageously well on because
you made the commitment of time to hone your knowledge and to excel.

You have what it takes to achieve the USMLE® Step 1 score of your dreams!
