Best thing to do is learn the material in your classes the best that you possibly can and THEN hit the review hard during 2nd year.

I don't know, I guess it depends on your curriculum. I learned FA/Goljan-type material in first year. I thought that Goljan was one of the most useful tools for studying for my first-year exams, and FA was a great tool for looking up random facts.
Maybe it worked better for me because I was always a "bare minimum" type of student, so I thought it was great that I could skip all of the lectures and then just learn the very basics from FA and Goljan. But it worked for me.
