They say “The most difficult step ever is the first step”. Well, seems like in the case of USMLE, this saying happens to manifest for the unaware. Just like taking the first step towards any goal calls for much determination and strength, so is the case while taking the first step towards clearing USMLE. But, what led to establishment of such an image of USMLE step 1? Well, I’ve enumerated below the reasons why the USMLE Step 1 is hard! So check'em out.

The MCQs asked in USMLE aren't the "run of the mill" type MCQs
I've got some news for you - one comforting and another slightly unsettling. The USMLE exam is an MCQ-based exam and thus, all you need to do is make a right choice. The "unsettling part" is that these USMLE-styled MCQs are designed in a way that they coax you to choose the wrong answer. Also, these are not single answer MCQs which means more than one option may be right. This indeed is an additional challenge. But, nothing that cannot be handled with proper practice.
