Hey guys! Quick Question.

What are your thoughts on the Bros 2.1 deck? I finished doing 1 pass of FA and pathoma, but need a way to really hammer in these facts. Anki has been incredible for sketchy micro and pharm, so I figured doing anki for FA somehow would be great. I started a UWorld block and had a minor freak out because it made me realize that I really don't have anything fully memorized, besides the stuff that I have been hammering with anki through sketchy.

Anyone score 70+ and did most of Bros deck?

Thanks

From what I understand Zanki is more recent. I’ve been doing Zanki but not feasible to mature all of them since I’m taking 7 months for this exam. Once I have FA annotated fully and I’ve done some problems, I’m gonna stop doing Zanki cause too time consuming and simply read like a half chapter of FA or something like that. Zanki is great but once you learn a bunch of details it seems pretty pointless to be asked 6 things about the same thing
Don’t freak out about UW. Most people think battle is only memorizing. However I think that’s only half. Other part is applying and doing problems and knowing how to integrate and apply

Everyone gets a kick in the gut when they start USMLEs/UWorld. Don't worry, the information is in your head, you just need to get used to the question style. Once you get that down, you're golden.

I did Zanki instead of Bros. I think Bros is less than Zanki, so I'd recommend Bros. For any SRS, it's very overwhelming, especially in D2 and D3.

Thanks! I’m a D2 now. Crazy how much easier studying gets once you cover the organ system in school as well as opposed to self-teaching

How did you use Zanki? Would you use the specific sections you had gone over to that point? I'm fairly new to anki and i'm not entirely sure how to separate everything out instead of just studying an entire deck.

I used them after learning each organ system. for example when I finished a chapter in pathoma, I tried doing the path q's (the deck has info from FA and UW so I recommend having FA for reference when you do them). then I did BRS for physiology and did the respective phys chapter. After 3-4 months of that (digesting the material), It takes me now 1-2 days to cover an entire chapter from FA then I like doing some Anki questions over next few days from that chapter.
I would NOT recommend trying to mature anything or focusing on Zanki percentages. we're not in med school and simply don't have 2 years to do that (would be too easy to be honest lol). So I'd use Anki mainly for your weaker systems and second most importantly to stay connected to the material. As my test gets closer, ill probably do less and less Anki and I will transition to simply reading the FA chapters. I'm going through FA the second time now btw and if I had no d school, it would take me 2 weeks to probably cover the book so really not that bad. The book is scary but if you go through it and understand It, you'll be able to go through it faster and faster the more you re-read.
So my advice would be focus on the material as a whole and dont fragment it. Learn a system and try to Anki to test yourself on the details and see how well you understood/memorized that chapter.
My advice towards the exam is to cover more material as a whole and maybe make your own charts/cards for stuff youre struggling with.
I guess another option would be to suspend a lot of cards you know and that way you'll have to cover less and less card in Anki. that sounds like a lot of work though. Focus on material in system IMO
