I have not taken USMLE Step I myself. However, despite the the time it is taking to utilize the photofocus skill, the other parts of the system are golden as well. The organizatiion of preparing, previewing, SRing,etc. are all valuable techniques in their own way.
Use the whole system, though. IT is not going to hurt! It certainly does not take any extra time! I have faith that the rest will pick up eventually.
When&where are you taking your StepI?
