I used old exams, decks, USMLE First Aid, and USMLE subject review books. Started with the decks. Went through them 2-3 times. Spent the rest of the time studying subjects with the USMLE material and taking practice tests. Never had access to the "unreleased" exams or pilot test so I can't really comment on them, but the official exams seemed a pretty good predictor of the real thing.
I read a little of a friend's and didn't find it useful. It seemed too long and not condensed enough compared to USMLE review books. You want something you can read and reread quickly to memorize this information well.
I'm using the USMLE reviews, decks, and old tests. If that doesn't work i'll shoot myself. Does anyone think a month and a half is way too much time to study if my goal score is a low 80?

Sweet, that's what I like to hear. I've got some triathlons lined up this summer and would much rather get ready for those, if you know what i'm saying
