Best use of Qbanks 3 months out

Hey all, I'm 3 months out from my exam (mid June) and started studying not long ago. I have approximately 5.5 weeks of dedicated time to study for the exam after our classes end in May as we're on a traditional curriculum. I plan on working in some QBank during school and was wondering the best use of resources.

I just started my subscription to USMLE Rx and will get UWorld when the time comes (might consider some select Kaplan QBank questions if time permits). I'll scatter in some NMBE's during dedicated. I will plan on having my first pass through Pathoma and a skim/read-through of FA by the end of next week while we're on spring break.

I plan on doing 20-40 USMLE Rx questions/day throughout the remainder of the school year (while annotating and reinforcing FA) and shoot for finishing Rx 4.5 months out from the exam - afterwards I would start UWorld during the dedicated studying time. Do you think this is too late to start using UWorld? Does this distribution of resources make sense or does it seem too rushed?

I'm shooting for 250+. Thanks for the help in advance! 🙂

Bump! I'm really interested to know especially if anyone else started studying 3 months out and how they divided their use of qbanks/resources efficiently and things you would have done differently.

I started uworld 3 months out by doing a block a day. At this rate I'll have done it x2 by the time I take the real deal. I'm still taking classes so I'm just squeezing stuff in here and there.

I (relatively) started studying for Step 1 since January. But I haven't started the Qbanks yet. I downloaded Brosencephelon's First Aid Anki Cards and I go through those during boring classes and when I free time. I was planning on hitting Qbanks hard a month before. I'm shooting for a 250+ as well.
