OMIf you’re aiming to PASS USMLE Step 1 in 2026 - this is the FULL BLUEPRINT I used as an IMG ✅
As promised, here’s the full Step 1 blueprint that went viral 👇
The order matters:
🧠 Pathoma (especially Chapters 1–3)
🦠 Sketchy Micro / Pharm
❓ Start UWorld early
📄 Mehlman PDFs to patch weak areas
🧪 Dirty Medicine for biochem
📊 NBMEs at the end
You’ll notice I’ve intentionally not mentioned First Aid.
That’s on purpose.
In a pass/fail exam, First Aid is too dense and inefficient as a primary review resource. It worked in the past — that doesn’t mean it’s still the best answer now.
For NBMEs: do them online, timed, exam conditions.
If you’re consistently scoring ~70%+ on multiple forms, you’re in a strong position.
Finish with the Free 120 a few days before the exam.
Fewer resources. Used properly. Repeated consistently.
That’s how you pass Step 1 efficiently and move on to Step 2 sooner 🚀
