Hey everyone,
I'm considering not using first aid as my main study tool, but just for reference. I never got much out of trying to sit down and read 100 pgs etc of first aid. I just don't have the patience and can't retain much that way. Integrating audio learning definitely helps me remember more, like pathoma/DIT style. I've annotated DIT into my first aid. I've started rewatching DIT again and I feel like it's sticking more and I'm considering watching it a third time 10 days or so before my exam. I'm doing a block of questions each day from UWORLD and will finish the qbank probably 1.5X before my test date and am also taking NBMEs to assess myself. In addition I've made 1 pass through pathoma and am halfway through it again. So I plan to have 3 passes of pathoma before my test.
Basically is pathomaX3, uworld X 1.5 and DIT X 3 + NBMEs sufficient for a score of 220-230. Or is not reading first aid over and over a big mistake.
