I would ask my advisor for advice but part of my issue involves doing offline NBME practice exams so I'm afraid to bring it up....
I'm resource overloaded (that keeps happening to me...)
I understand that UWorld is THE resource to use. I used it throughout M2 year but skipped the subjects we weren't directly studying at the time -- that means that I was left with a huge chunk of unused questions at the end of the year (i.e. M1 material), when we were all supposed to be completely done with UW. But I eventually finished them all and reset it. But now every fourth question or so is familiar and I remember the answer. That's why I've been spending quite a bit of time with USMLERx instead. I like that all the questions are new to me, and that it helps solidify material from First Aid.
So -- should I just focus on UW and forget USMLERx? Or try to do both, even if I don't end up finishing either one? I've used about 25% of UW (2nd time) and 42% of USMLERx.
Then there's all of the NBME forms (offline, with answer keys). Should I make these a priority? I could end up doing 6 exams offline in addition to five online forms, total. So far I've done 2 online forms, and most of form 5 (offline).
The problem is that I only have 14 days left!!
