Hi all,
I am a second year student who will finish in the end of April and then take the exam in late June most likely. I have done well on exams in school and generally have used pathoma, and sketchy micro as adjuncts to lecture notes. I am just starting to incorporate first aid in order to get exposure to that as well. I was thinking about adding USMLE UWorld to my regimen now, but was worried about finishing questions too quickly without having all the knodwledge, and then just repeating the material by the time my dedicated study time begins. I kind of ran into this problem with the MCAT where I used the AAMC exams too early. Has anyone else had this issue with doing UWorld too early, or do most of those who scored very well on this exam start early and just repeat all the questions again by the time you begin your dedicated study time? Also, what do you think about not having used first aid as much until now. I have done well in school, but I'm a bit worried it will be a disadvantage to me on step 1 if I don't start utilizing it a lot more now. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
