I'm starting M1 in a few weeks and was wondering what resources would still be worthwhile to invest time into given the P/F nature of Step 1? To give context, going to a top 5 school with 1.5 year systems based pre-clinical with no AOA and P/F for first 3 years. Taking Step after 3rd year clerkships so will definitely benefit from P/F grading.
I know Pathoma, B&B, and First Aid are what most people use, but what Anki deck do you all suggest to use? Zanki, Cheesy LY, and AnKing seem to be the gold standard, but not sure if it is still worthwhile to go through such a dense deck. Any suggestions for other decks that would maximize the cost (time) to benefit (background for step 2 CK knowledge/score) ratio?
Also what qbanks do students tend to use (heard of USMLE Rx and Amboss) and are you supposed to do those practice questions while going through school during M1 year or save them for dedicated?
TIA for the help!
