Anybody interested in having a thread dedicated to discussing study methods and resources? I have a bunch of charts and diagrams I've made along the way, plus others passed around at my school. I've also been using the UMich site: http://www.med.umich.edu/lrc/coursepages/m1/anatomy2010/html/index.html and BRS. I have the Lippincott review book but haven't cracked it yet.

Let's pool our resources!
 
If you only have two days to study for the Anatomy NBME what would your study schedule be?

We did only have 2 days to study.

1st day: Gunner Training. Added ~50 Questions from an Anatomy section (without actually reading the card), took the questions. Got like 30+/50 right, then reviewed the ones I missed, retook those questions. Retook the questions until I got all 50 right. Repeat for all anatomy +embryology sections.

2nd day. BRS Anatomy. Do one question at a time, look at the answer, read the explanation.

Got 92nd percentile...for a class I hated and have subsequently forgot most of and will be the bane of my existence studying for Step 1.

I had 4 days to study for the anatomy shelf, but all I did was the UMich practice questions + reading the explanations. No BRS. No RR. No other resource. It was good enough to get 88th percentile on the shelf. If I had actually learned embryo properly, that score would've been higher. Seriously though, the UMich questions are ridiculously clutch for the shelf exam -- they both test the same high-yield things.

Edit: I actually thought that the BRS practice questions (the couple I attempted to do before giving up) were harder than the questions on the shelf exam.
