I'd really appreciate some advice if anyone would be so kind. I have 2 more weeks of classes, and then I start ISP. I have 5 weeks of dedicated study before the exam. My question is this - how do you recommend structuring a dedicated study period if I feel really shaky foundationally? I feel like just doing UWorld and Pathoma/FA/Sketchy will leave too many gaps. But I also don't know if I have time to add other resources like textbooks?

Background -
- I score at class average (occasionally slightly above, occasionally slightly below) on exams
- I've done ~50% of UW and ~50% of Pathoma (I'm not sure of my UW % correct but probably ~60%ish)
- I feel like I remember nothing from preclinical classes

I would really really appreciate any advice for an ISP strategy!
 
60% on World is pretty good, I don't think your foundation is as bad as you think it is. I would keep doing practice questions and look up any problems your having in your reading source for your incorrects if you can't figure it out from the explanation.

Ok thank you I really appreciate this reassurance and advice - I'm feeling really nervous and insecure as ISP approaches (as I'm sure a lot of people do). I'll just stay the course and cross my fingers!
