GETTING STARTED
Its supposed to be hard. If it wasnt hard, everyone
would do it. The hard is what makes it great.
- Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own
Nothing comes easy. But you knew that when you decided to
become a physician; one of the most respected professions one
can pursue. At this point, youre no stranger to long sessions of
studying, prioritizing work over fun, study groups over parties, being
presented with loads of information and of course, stress.
Now is the time to set your sights on a high Step 1 score. How high?
Its up to you, but dont for a moment sell yourself short. 230? 240?
250? Whatever it is, identify it, visualize it, and keep that number at
the forefront of your mind. It will be your guiding light.
Like your desired Step 1 score, now is also the time to fully identify
your motives for going down this road. Embrace them. Write them
out and place them somewhere that is visible. Remember, if your
reasons are strong, moments of doubt will be just that: fleeting
moments.
Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.

- Charles Kettering
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

- Thomas Paine

HOW OUR STUDY PLAN WAS MADE

Picmonic not only draws on its research backed success1, but has also
consulted medical scholars, power Picmonic users, and the input from
hundreds that have received successful Step 1 scores to assemble a
robust and comprehensive study plan to assist you in achieving the
same.
Suffer now and live the

rest of your life as a
great doctor.
- Unknown
We have mapped out how to incorporate Picmonic with First Aid as

well as both Kaplan and Uworld question banks. You can also
customize the plan based on how far you are from your Step 1 date. Of
course, the earlier you can get started, the better off you will be.
"Because of your program I was able to

recall essential information quickly to
answer second and third order
questions...the cards proved to be an
essential tool in my success on Step 1 and
throughout second year. I destroyed the
micro section on that exam because of
your cards. You guys are incredible."
"[Picmonics] correlate directly with what is

in First Aid so you know it is essential
information that will show up on the exam.
The amount of questions I got right in
biochemistry and microbiology were mainly
due to this resource so I would highly
recommend it."
- James, 274 Step 1 Score
(Texas Tech)
- Sam, 253 Step 1 Score

(St George's University)

BEST PRACTICES
Assess
your
weaknesses.
If possible, it is strongly
recommended that you take an NBME Assessment to determine where
you may need more focus, especially if you're six months or closer to
your Step 1 exam. Once you've been able to identify your weaknesses
you can justify spending more time and focus on where they're needed
most. Your strengths and weaknesses may shift as you get closer to your
test date. If the NBME Assessment isnt an option, look into other
resources.

Find your study location. Library? Coffee shop? Wherever it is,
it needs to be your designated area, where you can go to study without

fail, devoid of anything that can distract you.
Eliminate all possible distractions.
Text messages, phone

calls, and social media should be shut off during your study time. We get
distracted all too often, too easily, and sometimes without notice.
Incorporate exercise. Do your best to follow a regular exercise
routine. Physical exertion is a great way to release stress and bring

needed energy to our already overworked bodies. Caffeine can only
do so much...
Eat healthier foods. Curbing the junk food and avoiding anything
heavy will go far when you need to spend 3-4 hours attentive and
energized.
Get sleep. Depriving your
body of needed sleep and

recovery time is detrimental to
any kind of effective studying.
"The true power of Picmonic becomes

worth of studying in a fraction of the time.
- Avram (Creighton University)

THE 3 PRONG APPROACH

REVIEW
MASTER
ASSESS
That is the core of our 3 Prong Approach and how this study plan will help
you get the most out of your studying time. When looking at First Aid ,
Picmonics and Qbank questions, follow this guideline:
REVIEW the
applicable pages
in a specific
chapter. Do not skip
any portions of the
content. Revisit
unfamiliar topics
and understand
mechanisms and
concepts of
disease processes.
PICMONIC.COM
MASTER the
Picmonics that
correspond to each
of the listed First Aid
pages. Based on
user experience, it
generally takes 3-5
views per Picmonic
to understand it in
its entirety.
ASSESS your
knowledge with
Kaplan and/or
UWORLD Qbank
questions. Each set
of questions is
spread evenly
throughout the
study days, so you
wont risk being
overburdened.
HOW OUR STUDY PLAN WORKS
16
3-5
The Study Plan is

broken down into
CATEGORIES
Each category is
broken up into
days and each
day represents
HOUR BLOCKS
For example, Behavioral Sciences is estimated to take 16 hours to

complete. Thus, it is broken up into 5 days with each day averaging just
over 3 hours. If youre looking to begin studying on Monday, you can
comfortably spend Monday through Friday studying in the determined
blocks of time and have the weekend off.
We put this together this way to provide you with versatility. Regardless
of where you are in relation to Step 1, whether youre six months out or
two, you can accurately gauge how much time it will take for each
category and plan your personal life accordingly. Obviously, the
sooner you start, the more breathing room youll have so dont
procrastinate!

Next, when looking at the Behavioral Sciences Study Grid, youll see that each
Day is broken down into 3 segments.
1
2
3
FIRST AID // PICMONICS (12)

Here you will read the assigned First Aid pages and then review
the Picmonics that are associated with them. For Day 1, you will
read pages 47-51. Since we have 4 Picmonics for page 48 and
49, depending on your comfort level you can either read pages
47, 50, and 51 only and review the Picmonics for 48 and 49, or,
you can read all five and revisit for Picmonic review after. The
average time is 20 minutes per First Aid page and 5 minutes for
each Picmonic.
KAPLAN QUESTIONS
Here you will review 27 of the 108* questions for Day 1. The
average time per question review is 4 minutes.
*At the time of release, Kaplan had 108 questions for behavioral sciences. If they add more, adjust your
schedule accordingly.
UWorld QUESTIONS
Like the Kaplan Question Bank questions, you will review 12 of

the 62* pages for Day 1. The average time per question review is
4 minutes.
*At the time of release, UWorld had 62 questions for behavioral sciences. If they add more, adjust your
schedule accordingly.
The times that we allotted are not going to be applicable to every item
throughout the entire study guide but were provided as a means to give you an as
close to accurate time estimate as possible. If you only have one Qbank resource,
then disregard the allotted time for the other resource.
Any time you gain or lose will be made up for in other aspects of the Study Plan or
by reviewing as you see fit.
PICMONIC.COM
STUDY PLAN
Each subject is broken down into categories based on the First Aid 2015
edition. As stated previously, each day is broken down into 3-5 hour sessions
using the time frame one can reasonably expect to spend on each
resource. If you finish early, you can review the material presented, or move
onto the next day.

THE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM

Take the day off from studying.
Research has shown that

anything you study right before an exam is more likely to hurt than
help your performance. Why? Because the last-studied information is
still floating around in your short term memory and actually interferes
with recall of information that you studied days, weeks or even
months before.

Plan something fun to do as a reward for all the

effort you have put into getting ready. Call friends to
make plans for after the exam is over. Take in a good movie or shop at
a favorite store. In short, do something appealing that you put off
during the previous weeks of preparing and treat yourself to something
special. Maybe hit the bars for a post-exam drink with some friends!
Watch your intake of caffeine.
Nothing drives up your

anxiety level faster than not being able to fall asleep the night before
an exam, so avoid beverages like coffee, tea, or colas unless they are
decaffeinated.
Try to relax with physically tiring activities like

swimming, jogging, or biking so that you will feel
tired enough to sleep. A warm shower or bath close to
bedtime will also help relax you. Unless you know exactly how it will
affect you the next day, avoid taking any sleeping medications
because they may leave you feeling groggy.
Lay out everything you will need the night before

so you won't have to stress out locating your lucky
shirt or the test permit tomorrow morning. If you plan to
drive to the test center, make sure you have enough gasoline, ensure
that you step out early enough to account for traffic jams, accidents
or anything that can possibly go wrong.

GOOD LUCK!
If youve come this far, youve definitely put the time, effort and
energy into making sure your Step 1 score is the best it can be.
Aside from studying, there are few things you can do to help
ensure you arrive at the test center ready to go. Check out the
following blog on What to do Before the Exam: Prepping the
Mind and Body for some last minute tips and pointers for your
big day.
Best of luck, and let us know how you did!
