Hey Guys:

So I basically have around a month and a half to study for boards. I am planning on taking the DIT prep course and will have run through FA and Goljan one time each prior to beginning the video lectures. If you don't mind critiquing this schedule, it would be much appreciated!


Day 1-5: DIT (+ 50 World Qs)
Day 6: Review (+50 World Qs)
Day 7-11: DIT (+50 World Qs)
Day 12: Review (+50 World Qs)
Day 13-17: DIT (+50 World Qs)
Day 18: Break
Day 19: NBME
Day 20- Day 36: 30 pgs FA/day, (+50 World Qs), Pharm, Goljan Audio
Day 37: Break
Day 38: NBME
Day 39-42: USMLE World
Day 43-45: Final FA Run Through


Thanks again for the input!

Make sure you build in enough time to completely go through UWorld and review the answers. You probably already did this, but count the total number of questions you have left and divide it up to make sure you get through it all.

Yes sir, this is actually great advice since there is so much yield in completing the world Qs. I will def finish all of them before the end of the allotted study time 🙂

In 16 days you expect to clear 450 pages of First aid, a full week of Goljan lectures, 800 USLMEworld questions, and learn pharm?

I hope you've already gone through FA and Goljan before you try this. Going through FA is very slow and tedious. About the same for goljan audio/RR Path, but a harder read since it doesn't explain anything to the level of detail that makes much sense.

Covering FA in 2 weeks is doable, but not the rest

That is if you read 8-10 hrs daily.

It will be my second run through FA and third run through Goljan audio so I'm hoping to go a bit faster. The pharm is just referring to going over pharm cards at night as a refresher. You are right though, this may be a bit too ambitious.

ur second and third runs should take u a week to read FA, granted you understood FA from ur first read.
