Anatomy plan underkill?

We always talk about overkill when studying, but what about underkill when studying? I'm currently studying for the step 1 and I decided to use Kaplan anatomy for studying Anatomy. It's a good book but I'm wondering if I'm overdoing it? Especially since I've read on this forum that anatomy isn't worth more than 1 day of studying. I'm thinking of just reading the summaries in Kaplan Anatomy and using first aid. Is that good enough or am I shortchanging myself?

I'd like to know what recent test takers have to say about this too. The FC anatomy cards leave me falling asleep in my chair.

FC anatomy is the worst way to study IMO.

Yeah.. really wish I had started FC while I was still in Anatomy. Banking anatomy topics is no fun.

any anatomy question I have done thus far [Rx,UW] could have been answered via first-aid; except for those random origin and insertion questions lol

What's a good alternative, in your opinion?

What about the chapter summaries in Kaplan anatomy?

I like qbanks, First Aid and Netter's flashcards at the moment. Netter's is good for the quick clinical correlates that the cards have on the back which is way more high yield than actually knowing what the brachioradialis looks liek.

The best resource for anatomy I believe are coupling USMLE Road Map Gross Anatomy along with question banks (UWorld and USMLERx suffice). The clinical associations in USMLE Road Map Gross Anatomy are very very high yield and worth going over.

Im currently using high yield anatomy. I think this has a lot of useful info and is more condensed than road...Im thinking of getting through FA, FC, and High Yield and if I learn it well buy the road series....since its a bit more intensive.
