Finished step 1 and had been using a self-made FA and pathoma and UW deck for the past year.Together, they contained around 20K cards and I only have to do like 200-300 a day at this point which takes 30 min-1 hr.
My question: I have heard that shelf exams are 85% based on step 1/first 2 years knowledge base. I have also heard that with a strong knowledge base, UW for the shelves is sufficient. So, would it be a good plan for me to keep up the Step 1 cards alongside the UW for the shelves? My goal would be to do well enough on the shelves to honor the rotations. Also, if you do think I should keep up the Step 1 cards, which FA sections are no longer needed? (i.e. biochem?)
