So I have several questions starting my M2 year and would love any help! FYI: We get an average amount of dedicated time, I'm aiming for top peds programs (>245), this summer I've done light Zanki for the systems we covered M1 year, I've always done very well on standardized exams but can be lazy with things like flashcards.
1. Do you really need to use 5-6 different resources like most people use? That feels overwhelming to me as I went entirely off of lecture notes + First Aid for M1 year and did well on our NBME finals.
2. 1st Semester of M2 year: My school does well on step but our weakness is Micro and Pharm. My plan was to maybe to do the Sketchy videos for both of those this semester and continue light Zanki review (30min/day) for everything so far and First Aid for our block finals. Is this enough for now?
3. 2nd Semester of M2 year: What study resources will I add starting January?
4. Is doing maybe 4-5hrs of research and 1-2hrs volunteering per week doable 1st semester M2 year and halving those numbers for 2nd semester?
5. Any other general advice?
Thanks!!
