You mean in each class, right? I do that. Moreso in BRS Path, though. Because a couple days before my exams, I read those review books and most of the stuff is in my head so any clarifying points that I have IN MY HEAD or buzz words, super important things BRS failed to mention, I'll add in. I don't go through my notes and add them that way because I do agree, tht would be too much time as well as too much information going into your book. I definitely think it'll help me, though, when I go back through everything.
It really doesn't take too long if you don't let it pile up.....I've been taking about 5 minutes after each Path lecture to go through the corresponding section.....just add in any clarifications of mechanism, association of symptoms, clinical correlation that you feel is vital or will help you remember it, etc. Don't try to add in every detail that your prof is teaching.....just get the book prepped for board review and make sure you'll be able to put all the info together at that time (which is why I think annotating in this manner while its all fresh is a good idea).

who says I haven't....ocd is on til boards are over... no excuses on your end...its not like you have bull$hit weekly tests or anything...
Yeah, I mean, when im not studying for my M/W tests Im definately cramming for the boards. I mean, Im not sure if I can get it done between now and may's end.
****, I shouldn't be on here, i need to get back to Golijan.
buckeye where do u go to med school
and u two are freaking me out....i hope youre joking about studying this much
CCOM. We are only semi-serious. Emphasis on the *semi*
as ocd as I am about schoolwork....boards studying won't realistically start until about 6-8ish weeks before....as of now I'm just mastering and annotating the corresponding review book sections w/ my classes....and getting my boards books/plan together
Same. Instead of just studying class notes - I read as many different sources as possible in an attempt to make whatever it is stick more permanently.
For example, for Path, Ive been studying Golijan audio/review book, Robbins path, and I tie it all together with my Cecil's Essentials of Med and of course class notes.

Hey, I'm using the BRS Path Review book too, but I'm starting to question my Path studying method. I usually give a quick look at the BRS Review book, just to get a general idea of things, then I go read Robbins. Is this method the most efficient? And how about annotating Robbins?
BRS path lacks too much depth for any of you to compensate by annotating those tiny friggin margins. Go read robbins - the book of champions.
ok good, im doin the same thing you are buckeye, you two were freaking me out fo ra second there!
i have better things to do w/ my time than read robbins goljan and brs are MORE than enough 🙂
You guys said that in additoin to BRS and Robbin's or whatever, you also use Goljan..
He has a lot of stuff out there... What exactly to you guys use of his stuff? Thanks...

I mostly just use his audio and annotate brs as necessary (sort of the best of both worlds). He also has a review book (rapid review path)...use this or brs....both is overkill in my opinion, especially if you listened to the audio. He also has high yield notes of varying lengths and a book in pdf format that accompanied his actual audio lectures at kaplan.
Take a look at all of this stuff and decide what you'd like to use, while still being able to be somewhat efficient and not kill yourself with sources.
just noticed that you're in my class...PM me if you don't already know where to easily find this stuff
