For Anatomy i recommend doing all the CT scans and MRIs… especially the thigh, arm ones which people neglect. Still i did Kaplan Lec Notes + HY Gross anatomy + BRS gross anatomy.

Fortunately my profs in MBBS was heavy on anatomy and anatomy was not a major issue for me and i was used to it. Anatomy was asked a lot especially pelvic anatomy and perineal anatomy. Then i started doing the dreaded Anatomy as it was the most asked subject in the time that i was giving my test.

KAPLAN USMLE STEP 1 VIDEOS TOTAL TIME OFFLINE
I did UW offline and Kaplan Qbank offline for these too. I recommend not focusing on the Kaplan book much as FA + UW is everything. So i skipped them and i did the book of Kaplan for Immuno and Micro only. I think i fell asleep in more than half of them. The Kaplan lecture videos of this subject are so boring. I then went on to do Microbiology and Immunology. They helped me as it was subjectwise prep and i was reinforcing what i had studied in the previous period in Kaplan + BRS. So after having done BRS Physiology, I did Kaplan Lecture notes of Physiology one more time to try and strengthen this subject as it would be very important to do before doing Patho. They give a lot of information on important HY concepts of CVS and Respi which i personally found very difficult to do. I did entire BRS Physiology book…and the MCQs in it are very high yield. So i started using BRS Physiology along with Kaplan Lecture notes. I started out doing Physiology but soon i found that the lecture videos are very lengthy and not very high yield. I had heard starting out with Physiology is a good idea.so that is what i did. I started with Kaplan Lecture Notes + Kaplan Videos. I will write in detail how i made it this far and how you could too. For reaching this score i had to sacrifice a lot, work very hard and had to give up many bad habits of time wasting to get it. It took me 14 months actually to get the score i wanted to. But here i am writing an experience 1 year later as to how i got a 270 score myself. I never imagined that I would get the same score. I started out by checking examineees who in the past had scored 270+ and tried to emulate their success by using the same resources as they did. As i did not have any knowledge beforehand as to how this exam works, I first read as many examples as i could. I started out first by gathering the material. I would not bet on it as a good gauge of the final score. The scores of UWSA and 3 Kaplan tests was very over predictive.
