My study plan is to work through First Aid along with Pathoma roughly once every two weeks based on organ systems plus a small amount of BS, Biochem, Micro and Immuno spread over the same time period, repeating this as many times as I can. I want to incorporate USMLE-Rx into my schedule to check my progress and reinforce things along the way. I want to follow that with UWorld in the second half of my study period (a total of 12 weeks). So, starting now with USMLE-Rx, what do you think is the best way to do this? Should I use tutor mode or just go straight to untimed or timed for whatever I studied that day?

I think I read somewhere that you can't reset your Rx account to start over again so I want to have a good plan in place to get the most benefit from it.

Rx gives you 60 deletions. Meaning you can delete up to 60 blocks you do. so not really a reset per se. good luck!

I used Rx in tutor mode and did it with each section to enforce FA. It really helps to tell if you really know the material. Instead of think you do.

Thanks for the info and advice. By "block" do you mean test? So if I create 60 tests and do them all in tutor mode I can then delete them and start over and take them again in untimed or timed?

I would do Cardio and then do questions in Cardio. I did that for each section in FA. I did about 700-800 questions in Rx. Not sure about deleting them out. Never got that far with it. I used it to see how I was getting the info.

I did one block in tutor mode today and made the mistake of selecting my second choice answer if I my first choice was wrong. That resulted in a full 100% for that block instead of my actual score based on my first try answers. Lesson learned.

You can reset it if you email their customer service. The catch is that you have to create a new username. Once you do that, they transfer over your remaining time and the bank resets.

Appreciated!

Okay. Maybe I should delete that first block I did so I get a more accurate overall percentage. Thanks!

don't worry about your percentage. Just work through the questions.
