What is USMLE Step 1?

The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a three-step exam for medical licensure in the United States. USMLE Step 1 is the first of the three exam stages aimed at assessing a physician’s ability to provide safe and effective patient care.

USMLE Step 1 Exam Format

Step 1 is a one-day examination divided into seven 60-minute blocks over the course of eight hours. The number of USMLE Step 1 questions in each block varies but does not exceed 40. All of the Step 1 questions have a vignette and a Single Best Answer (SBA). This means you must select the one best answer out of at least five potentials which may also be plausible. You can read more about the exam format and strategies for success in our Ultimate Guide to the USMLE Step 1 Exam.

About their Pastest product

Extremely useful Qbank that helps you get used to the question format and the clinical vignettes. The progressive system helps you fill some gaps in your knowledge depending on the topic of your choice. The pricing is reasonable and the staff are very eager to help and to clarify your questions.

Vladimir Filip

The USMLE Step 1 is very well covered in Pastest, the progressive system is world class medical learning, starting from an understanding of the basic science processes and progressing to actual USMLE level questions. I have noticed a big improvement in my medical knowledge since I subscribed to Pastest and I use it almost everyday. It is also the best priced USMLE Q bank, more affordable than Amboss, USMLE Rx and UWorld. The best advice I can give is get Pastest for 1 year of dedicated and in the last 3 months get UWorld and you will be ready to score 260+.

Desi Pardesi

It's a really good resource for Step 1 USMLE. The way questions are asked and the explanation for all the answers (even the wrong ones) make your learning so much better than Uworld.
