USMLE Step 3: my first day!

Yesterday was my first day on the journey to the USMLE Step 3 exam. With great excitement, I registered for the UW course and attempted the first 34 problems for GI. The overall correct rate is 61%. Not bad as a start. My plan for Step 3 is to do the UW questions by subject first. Every night (my study time can only be from 8 pm to 10 pm), finish 30 questions and then review these questions and make notes on FA Step 3. My first goal is to finish the UW qbank in about 6 weeks. I know it’s hard, but what I felt yesterday was that I really like doing the medical questions. Every question is a great intellectual stimulation and I really enjoyed the whole process, which really helps me a lot to distract myself from the anxiously waiting for the match!
