Hi, \n\nThat examination is to become a licenced doctor or md in United States.  We have USMLE STEP 1,2,3. \n\nYou can schedule it in your country.  Just call prometrics in your country and ask them, but first you have to apply for the USMLE online.  \n\nKaplan is a great resource to study, depends in how you learn. If you learn taking classes, then take a course with Kaplan or buy their videos. If you learn reading yourself, then buy the books. \nQ-Bank is a most!!\nFirst Aid is a most!!\nOther resources are: BRS, and High Yield of every classes.\n\nThe NBME offers a series of exams to practice. They have one for free and I think it has 150 questions. \n\nusmleforum.com have a lot of inside from students from other countries. \n\n\nWell I hope I can help you. Good luck with your exam. \n\nGB\n\nBye!

There are some institutions that prepare you for this type of examinations. One of the best according to my nephew who was able to pass all his tests and exams and become a MD is Kaplan. Use your search engine (Yahoo) and find the nearest to you.

really, you would have to be in training to interpret it.  i am in med school and have had anatomy and have taken an elective in reading mri and ct's and i wouldn't trust myself to read them.  either try to bump your appointment up or do whatever you can to not think about it until then.

Well, I completely understand your predicament. Wonder if this is your 1st yr in med...\nAnyway, I know sometimes these things get just so darn boring because everything is textbook nonsense until you get a patient to practice on. Even then, it's still nonsense if you don't know what you're looking for in the patient! :o)\n\nHere are a few ways I used follow during the exam times because I used find it sooo difficult to concentrate as well (topics depend on your current level) -\n\na. Draw the anatomical pictures (need not be an artist) and the biochem cycles in your own way that explains what & how things work. As you begin to understand them, fill up where needed with it's physiological/ int. med/ surgical/ pathological/ pharmaceutical etc functions as well. This is so, as you study, you understand everything on the whole in one go and relate to it when a Q is being asked on ANY topic.\n\nb. Stick post-it(s) on your wall stating important stuff (esply the ones you can't remember) so that it's there for quick reference and sooner or later, the notes'll stick in your head.\n\nc. Call up a friend (a knowledgable one, mind you) and discuss what you've just studied or anything that you don't understand. It helps to see things from a fellow student's point of view, thus implanting/ enforcing the material you've just studied in your head.\n\nd. Look things up on the net... they have many sites dedicated to patients, therefore the explaining is easier to understand. May not be too comprehensive, but it helps.\n\ne. When it's time to study for the exams, count how many days you've left, divided by the number of subjects you've to study. Make a timetable; dedicating each day to at least 2 subjects/ topics (one easy/short and the other long/ hard)... Trust me! You'd need the timetable to let you know what you've covered and how much more you've left. It's okay to fall behind once in a while so long you're done studying the most important ones and have a day or two to revise. \n\nHope this helped! All the very best!

The GMAT is essentially a glorified SAT - all the stuff in there you definitely learned pre-college. I've never been a big proponent of the GMAT classes because I feel you can get everything out of the book. The class isn't going to teach you some random formula you don't already know. Both the books and classes essentially spell out what format of questions will be asked in each section. Then they drill you on that format repeatedly until solving for that type of equation or that grammatical structure is second nature no matter what weird way they ask it on the test. I would recommend getting one of the books, Kaplan is pretty much the industry standard. Read it all the way through. Then take every practice test in the book, then save a few bucks and go hang out in the bookstore and take a half a dozen practice tests in other GMAT prep books. Review every question on your test you got wrong and go back into the book to see what “format” of question it is and review that again. Then use the free CDROM that should come with your prep book to focus in on any sections you are bombing on the practice tests. This worked for me and one of my buddies. We studied for about two weeks for an average of 3 hours a day and topped out over 750. The MCAT would be another story…thank god I don’t want to be a doctor…

it's about 67% for the first time takers and %54 of failers will pass in their second trial.The total would be around %75.\nyou can check updated statistics on ecfmg.com or usmle.com \n(the bulletins).Don't stick on those percentages .Only things that will determine your success is your will and the way you prepare yourself for the exam.

hey i took that test with my mom when she was taking it just to give her company and because i wanted to see if i knew anything and I passed. we live in Florida though.... well on our practicle they asked us how to make a bed and lift the patient up and hook him on the machiney u kno the ekg and the heart monitor and all. then we took blood, we also did vitals and bp which anyone can do. the main thing was how to take care of patients though like turning them and making them sit up like handling stuff. then written was pretty simple. mostly it was about what would you do if a vain raptures and you would go and get the nurse. and it asked about different labels and all.. anyway i got this book out of B&N. it helped a lot. good luck .....

go to there website, everything is found in details.\nthis is not a place to find an answer for such important question.\nalso search for some law schools students forums, I don't know any because I'm a doctor, but we have some useful ones for medical studies, and they have great information. \nand I think law schools should have something too.

The USMLE exams are the same no matter what medical school you are in within the United States.\n\nI think the only difference would be in how the Step 2 CK would be administered.
