Just wondering what the popular opinion is on opting to grind through all of RX (after Uworld obviously!), or completing all of the NBME forms with FA & Pathoma
For the sake of the highest possible score, the NBMEs. There will be a few questions on your exam straight from the self assessments. For learning purposes, Rx, since they have explanations to questions in case you are still unsure of certain concepts/facts.
I've gone through pathoma twice, uw and first aid once. I printed out my annotations from uworld, and some notes I made on rx questions I got wrong.
I've been going through my Uw annotations along with first aid at the speed of one system per day.
Yes, for the sake of those last few possible points on the exam, given that they repeat questions. Like I said, if one still feels they're in the learning phase, then Rx could be warranted. I have no experience with the bank so I can't say anything about it's utility as FA in question format, but in that case like lsmet said, doing both is a perfectly good idea too.So you're saying that NBMEs outweigh a question-based pass of FA? Because Rx is FA in question format...
You're right about RX in thats its really a single jump question bank. However, I've found nbme questions to be just as straight forward as RX questions. Either you know it or you don't
