I've struggled in Path up to this point. I'm passing the course, but just barely. I feel like my knowlledge in most areas to date are lacking. It's kind of been a big mix of not studying it enough and maybe not studying the right things. Our courses were set such that Path tests are always 8-10%, and Micro tests went 10%, 20%, 20%, 20%. It made more sense to focus on micro, but I wound up neglecting path on multiple occasions.

I'd like to get as strong as possible between now and April 15th when we take the Path shelf, but the end goal is step in early June.

I feel like just reviewing might not be enough,so any recommendations?

Pathoma will get you there ...

-For path I always first read the applicable sections in Goljan's Rapid Review book, took notes, etc.
-If you have a q bank you could do those questions after you're done studying whatever section on path in RR. Also, I found robbins path question book helpful, especially in their explanations on some of the questions (although I think a majority of their questions are focused on minutiae - so its hit or miss for me.
-on the second pass I would listen to the goljan audio files for whatever section I was doing while looking through RR and adding any notes/clarifying things that me talks about.

I only really used robbins to read about bigger topics or to clarify something that wasn't clear in RR or the explanation of a question or something.

I ended up having to read medium robbins because we essentially had no lectures for path so it was mostly self-study anyway. I felt reading or even skimming robbins, focusing on the pictures, and then doing their question book, filled most the gaps that Pathoma or Goljan audio didn't. Doing Qbank questions for each block also helped a bit.

Goljan Audio and following along in Rapid Review during his audio is GOLDEN!
