Introduction<br />
Hi there!<br />
If you already have our current <strong>Step</strong> 1 Study Guide, you might be asking yourself, why release<br />
a new version? In our ever-enduring quest to be the best study resource for our subscribers,<br />
we work tirelessly on creating and working to improve our content at Picmonic. That being<br />
said, we decided to move from Playlists to Pathways in order to have as up-to-date of a Study<br />
Guide as possible.<br />
Now, instead of clicking and downloading a static playlist for a specific subject, you will be<br />
linked to its relevant Pathway. Making this switch will ensure that you will automatically have<br />
access to the most relevant Picmonics associated with the subject you are currently studying!<br />
For example, with the old Playlist version, if we released a new Picmonic on Behavioral<br />
Sciences, you would need to not only know about it, but would then have to reacquire the<br />
Behavioral Sciences playlist. With this new version, once a Picmonic is created and tagged, it<br />
will automatically be uploaded into the relevant Behavioral Sciences Pathway.<br />
We also decided to put the power back into your hands with respect to our time breakdowns.<br />
Now, instead of dictating to the minute how much time you spend on a question bank, we<br />
provide the amount of time it requires to review a Picmonic and budgeted time for you to read<br />
the related First Aid pages and test yourself via a question bank.<br />
This Study Guide puts you in control. Follow it as needed to get what's best for you with the<br />
time you have until <strong>Step</strong> 1. It comes at no cost, as does our assistance should you have any<br />
questions regarding this or anything related to Picmonic.<br />
Want to know who put this together? This plan was put together based on the feedback of many<br />
subscribers, power users, and our Campus Advocates. With the creation of our Student<br />
Consultant Program late last year, we were fortunate enough to have the assistance of Michael<br />
Bustos to piece it all together.<br />
