Alright, looking for a bit of advice. Got my step 1 scheduled in about 5 weeks. This is what I plan to cover....

Goljan Audio x3
FA x5
UW x2
Goljan HY notes + 26 pages.
Goljan Margin notes

Now, my biggest struggle will be doing 150 UW questions a day. I read the Kaplan books a while ago, but to be quite honest, I feel like I haven't read some books at all ( Anat, Behav)

Is 5 weeks enough to cover the above, and is there anything I should add/subtract?

Quite panicky right now, so some advice would be great from those who have already taken the test and those currently studying for it.

Many Thanks

I'm always so confused when I hear about people taking the exam at times other than may/june. Are you taking it right at the end of your second year without taking a few weeks to study?

Don't know if this is possible or not, but if you do it...my hat's off to you sir.

If you do this in 5 weeks, I'd like to know the source of your energy and dedication so I can use it too!

well.....i get the impression that the general view so far is that this is a big ask.

will give up dates once in a while.

I am a foreign grad, that's why I'm taking the exam earlier...been reading for it for a while.

Good luck all

some schools end 2nd year early and start third year in may. for example, here at pitt we just finished our last science class and now have a month of 2 hour case studies everyday. we take the boards in april and start rotations in may.

oh wow, yeah thats a much better system. We waste so much time doing nonsense at our school, and end up starting rotations in July.
