If it wasn’t 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, you’re 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? It’s up to you, but don’t 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 PICMONIC.COM 3 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) 1. Adv. Med. Educ. Pract. 2014 May 8; 5: 125-32 doi: 10.2147/ AMEP.S61875. eCollection 2014 PICMONIC.COM 4 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 isn’t an option, look into other resources. ® 1 ® 2 3 4 5 6 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) PICMONIC.COM 5 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: ® 1 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 2 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. 6 3 ASSESS your knowledge with Kaplan® and/or UWORLD® Qbank questions. Each set of questions is spread evenly throughout the study days, so you won’t 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 you’re 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 you’re 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 you’ll have so don’t procrastinate! PICMONIC.COM 7 HOW OUR STUDY PLAN WORKS BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES When looking at the Behavioral Sciences Study Grid, you’ll see a breakdown of each resource.

PICMONIC.COM 8 HOW OUR STUDY PLAN WORKS Next, when looking at the Behavioral Sciences Study Grid, you’ll 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 9 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. Behavioral Studies .................................

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. ® 1 2 3 4 5 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. PICMONIC.COM 31 GOOD LUCK! If you’ve come this far, you’ve definitely put the time, effort and energy into making sure your Step 1 score is the best it can be.
