I did my graduation& finished internship in 1994, did some job as GP for 4 year, then did a diploma & joined as single anaesthtist in rural govt setup, working for last 7 years

I have no publication, am 37 years age, but want to shift to US

Do I stand any chance through USMLE?

Thanks

You do have a good chance. Try to score 90's and if you do not have regional preference , you should easily get a position.

UK experience is considered favorably for your application.

Thanks for prompt reply

I read recommended list of books in First Aid 2008

Do you sugest any other?

Click on the "Step 1" in the top menu on this website. It will provide you with the right list of books. Also, I would recommend you to check out Kaplan step 1 web prep and definately you should prepare your exam with kaplan's online questions.

If you are in US, you can go to Kaplan center and take one exam for USMLE for free.

I am not clear how many questions I should attempt right to get into 90's score

That totally depends upon the questionaire set you get.

Typically more than 80-85% correct answers could secure you 90+ score.
