The current schedule is honestly burning us out way too fast. I just want to focus on board prep and stop stressing about these extra exams that dont really help my step score.

Block month seems very stressful. This would help us do better over all. I doubt many people would choose NOT to study block 4 material since that info will be on finals and often Step, so this would just help us maintain our sanity.

1 week of preblock studying, 3 weeks of exams, 3-4 weeks all day step prep and then having to sit for arguably the most stressful test of our lives seems like an undue burden. I second the idea of possibly another CBSE style exam.

It seems counterproductive to be tested over select material (block 4 exams), just to be tested over that SAME material + the material from the rest of the year (finals) a few days later.

I feel like these exams are a barrier to my success on step 1 rather than benchmarks that will improve my performance on step 1.
