Adding stuff to FA micro; how much is enough?

You'll probably think I'm crazy, but I'm not doing CMMRS because I don't have enough time (~12 days until test day). The last section I'm going through to finish up going through FA is micro, and I'm just wondering if the FA section is enough?

As a supplement, I'm using an excel sheet that I made from my ID course during school, but I'm just not sure if it's necessary to know things like the millimeters needed for positive PPD or the virulence of M. leprae (which FA doesn't talk about, but apparently my class notes say it has something to do with phenolic glycolipid and lipoarabinomannan). Should I annotate those things in, or just stick with FA?

Any thoughts or advice would help! I just want to finish FA already since I'm so close and then go nuts with UW until my test day.

Thanks!!!

I took the Stepper on July 2nd jigga, and my version was heavy heavy micro with at least 30-35 ?s just sayin whats the bacteria/virus/parasite, ya dig? And I gotta say, unless you shootin for 250 status, you dont have to add anything. I added a few bacteria like dat Vibrio Vultureicans or whateva the f it be, and I added the Yaws bacteria and ish to my handy dandy Blue Clue ol havin Notebook, and those bacteria were Swayzie. FA should be enough.

I got questions on like S. Pneumo, Staph Epi, staph Aur, Staph Sap, Treponema Pall, HIV, EBV, VZV, CMV, HHV-8, HSV 2, HSV 1, Legionella, H. floo, Campylo, and all them ishes had their ish come straight out the FA.

In short, you aint gotta add anythin unless you really hopin to nail the obscure question IF you get one.

You can always dig through CMMRS charts...

Thanks brah. It'd be nice to get a 250, but I don't think I'm up to SDN standards on that haha. I think there's enough to memorize in FA without all the extraneous info, so I'll probably just stick with FA.

Thanks, I might skim some of it if I have some extra time, since I remember seeing cord factor for TB being in UW. It's hard with less than 2 weeks to go.

It is not too long in pages, I think you can do it in 4 hours..

I thought Micro was pretty straightforward on my exam, and FA was sufficient. That being said, I read through FA micro 2 days before my exam and it probably helped. Get your drug mechs DOWN PAT. I got a question on antimicrobial with side effect of metallic taste. Oh snap. Can you say METronidazole for METallic taste? Good luck, broheim.

Thanks man. I just did FA like you said. I looked through CMMRS and tried annotating a bit, but then I noticed a lot of the things I was annotating were already in the micro systems part of FA at the end. And thanks for the MET/MET mnemonic! I totally didn't pay attention to the metallic taste part for metronidazole... I just remembered the disulfiram reaction 👍

1.5 weeks left for me... hope I get things down by then.
