HIGH-YIELD STEP 1 + COMLEX REVIEW
YEAR 1-2 | PAGE 16D - NEUROSCIENCE + BEHAVIOR BOARD TRANSFER + READINESS
CURRENT EXAM EMPHASIS
Current Step 1 specifications place Behavioral Health & Nervous Systems/Special Senses at 10-14% by system and Behavioral Sciences at 10-15% by discipline; 60-70% of items assess application of foundational science. Expect integrated localization, pathology, pharmacology and behavioral reasoning.

H. PRACTICE + READINESS - INTENTIONALLY NOT VIDEO
| Resource | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|
| UWorld Step 1 | Primary transfer layer for lesion localization, neuropharmacology, behavioral health and integrated neuro-pathophysiology. | Open → |
| AMBOSS USMLE | Targeted repair after misses; use neuroanatomy diagrams, differential tables and focused question sets before mixed blocks. | Open → |
| NBME CBSSA / CBSE | Official-style calibration. Repeated localization/behavioral misses should define the final review list. | Open → |

H. PRACTICE + READINESS - INTENTIONALLY NOT VIDEO — PROFESSIONAL-EXAM MASTERY GATE
Board-ready means you localize before naming disease, predict side/tract deficits, integrate neuroanatomy with pathology/pharmacology, and distinguish behavioral syndromes using duration/function/context. Use creator videos to repair specific misses; use NBME/COMSAE trends to judge readiness. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
