i did 10 questions per day starting early november during first semester of MS2, and then 20-25/day during my second semester. a lot of people will tell you that you should "save" them so you can use them better, but i think it's actually better to start uworld early and get through it before dedicated study period. my reasoning is that the content in uworld is immensely valuable and it's key to use it as a learning tool and learn the concepts well (and integrating its information into first aid). people want to master the information before doing uworld, but you can't truly master information until you do practice questions. by the time i entered my dedicated study period, i had done the key brosencephalon decks, had gone through all the picmonic cards i needed to, and had all of uworld written into first aid. the last of those 3 strategies was key b/c then i just spent my entire dedicated study period going through my first aid which already had uworld written into it. i also did a 2nd pass of uworld during deidicated [70-90 questions a day] but i was able to go through the questions quicker.
take all this with a grain of salt. you'll get some people passionately argue that you should wait and save uworld to use later, and theyhave some legitimate points, but i think it's important to get the ball rolling now. my opinion is that the key is to integrate uworld into first aid [whether i got a question right or wrong, i'd read that corresponding part of first aid, then read the uworld explanation [really trying hard to understand concepts], and then write abbeviated versions of the uworld concepts into that corresponding part of first aid]]. it took me about 10 mins/question, but i was using that time to learn the information, rather than using uworld as a performance assessment [i don't htink you should concern yourself with your uworld %].
i didn't use rx, but know people who used both uworld and Rx throughout the year [but they started using them during day 1, so they had ample time to do both].
