In this episode, I continue my discussion of the Step 1 Free 120.I make tons of integrations here with anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, biostatistics, and other relevant subjects. The PDF for the relevant free 120 is attached to the first part of this series (Ep 580).

DIP Ep 580: 2025 USMLE Step 1 Free 120 Discussion Part 1 (Q1-10, super helpful for Step 2 and 3!)

In this podcast, I begin working through the currently available USMLE Step 1 Free 120. This will be a very HY series with lots of integration and learning. For anyone that has listened to similar podcasts for the Step 2 Free 120 and the Step 3 Free 137, you know that there’s a lot I discuss here including testing principles. For those taking Step 2 and 3, strongly consider doing the Step 1 Free 120 for extra practice and listening to this series as the lines between the USMLEs are now heavily blurred with Step 1 being very clinical these days.
