In this episode of StepWise, we break from the normal question breakdown to go over what I think is the best way to study for Step One.

It essentially breaks down to, Use a QBank like Pastest etc, to help study during classes. Use Anki throughout to memorize the details. Use Pathoma and Sketchy for concept enforcement. Give yourself enough time (2-3 months) of dedicated time to go through all of UWorld, keep at Anki, and do the NBME and UWorld practice exams.

In this episode we encounter a fairly straight forward question about bleeding inside the skull. You wouldn’t think there would be that much difference about where that blood goes as to what happens, but the presentations and CT findings are can be very distinct making them good Step One material. There is a lot more to neurology but this is one area you can nail and get every question right very easily if you know the terminology and imaging findings.
