All right, welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 591 of the Divine Intervention Podcast.

In today's podcast, we're going to be examining a topic that I title, The Pathway to Comfortably Passing Step 1.

The Pathway to Comfortably Passing Step 1. And, you know, some of you may have listened to

episode 573 where I pretty much made a similar podcast on step two. Basically, like I lay out a very

good, well-thought-out study plan for stepK. So here I'm going to lay out the same

struggle in your clinical years if you don't have a good foundation from step one.

like, oh, divine, I'm going to take an extra two weeks over six weeks. I have recommendations

this podcast. If you follow what I'm telling you here me, and I think you're really going to get a lot from this podcast.

If you follow what I'm telling you here again, of course, I cannot offer any guarantees,

Okay?

I consider them to be what?
