I have left myself w/ four days before my final review of FA before Step I. Over this time during my study period I have finished UWorld qbank, read through FA twice in essence, did Goljan audio w/ RR path passive reading, quasi looked at HY Neuro. What should I do in the next 4 days go thru UWorld qbank missed questions, and try to read thru entire RR path. Or should I just focus on missed UWorld questions and the rest of the qbank + goljan's blue notes. Any other advice would be thoroughly appreciated

Just avoid Steven's Johnson's syndrome and you're good to go. Sorry for this completely useless answer. 🙂

I say... try skimming through FA one last time (or at least the hardcore memorization-based sections like micro and pharm), look at goljan blue notes, and then maybe look through the missed questions on UW. Don't try doing the entire RR path again, it'll be too much for you at this point. You're better off just making another run through FA, UW and the margin notes of RR path. Try to stop studying/cramming once you reach the evening before your exam because your mind and body need to rest. Hope I was able to help, and good luck on your exam!

I found that on my test there was A LOT of material that wasn't in FA, a lot of clinical things - it may be a good idea to skim through the managements of some of the most common diseases tested and also really look over all of the consequences of smoking/drinking (really hit those hard, it'll help). Also, I got a lot of questions that were make the dx, what's the strongest risk factor, so it helps to know that for the common things. OK, hope that helps, you already know all you can learn probably, so just build up your confidence and maybe go over some clinical aspects. Good luck!

Oh, one last thing - I got tripped up not knowing all my labs for diagnosing UTIs vs. Pyelo, etc. It's a good time to learn that if you haven't already.
