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.
