Hi Guys,

I am trying to make a schedule combining FA and UW.
How many FA pages and UW questions should I do per day? I am slow reader. I plan to take my test in July and I want to review those sources at least two times.
Good luck to everybody.
 
FA 453 pages and UW 2035 questions.
I have been told to dedicate 70% of my day to study and understand the explanations of UW.
The rest 30% of my day to study FA....Is that right? 😕

Thanks. 2000 sounds manageable to me. One more question, how come that most of you guys don't use FA Q & A (in conjunction with the student-to-student guide)?

I found it to be a good testing of the exact facts and buzzwords for FA material, but bad for any sort of reasoning skillz or what not. Not a HY source IMHO

i'm only using first aid so maybe i can suggest something. I have a 5 week schedule and plan to study each first aid chapter, one per day. there are 17 chapters (minus the high yield stuff at the back). some of the chapters are only a couple of pages long and some are lonnnnnng (biochem).

for example, when i read the behavioral chapter in like 3-4 hrs, i supplement minimally with the high yield book and then do 96 questions random on uworld. and if i am not sleepy by then, biochem, biochem, biochem. you can edit ur schedule depending on ur weaknesses. With this schedule, i will be going over first aid twice. so far so good. i was going to use BRS, and all them others but not anymore. with uworld and firstaid, i just wikipedia what ever else is missing.
 
Teee,

Sounds like you have a good plan but how are you gonna manage the UW explanations? doing 96 questions and reading every explanation may take a lot of your time.

If I do behavioral sciences in the morning and then do UW questions from behavioral in the afternoon...is it ok? or should I do random questions?

i have gone through usmlerx (another qbank) so i feel comfortably doing random questions on uworld, i dont have a high average but when it comes down to reviewing the questions, i read the explantions and mark the question (in case i want to redo it). it doesnt take me anymore than 30 minutes per block (48 questions) but thats what works for me obviously.

it can be frustrating to do random blocks if you havent reviewed most of the stuff but you have to decide what will work for you.
