Did you/Will you study by system or subject?

Starting to finalize my study plan. I've seen some sample schedules (like Taus) that start with basic sciences and then do the rest systems based, and do the physio/anatomy/path/pharm for each system before moving on to the next system. Other people seem to do all of physio then all of pathology then pharm etc. I think the systems based might make more sense b/c you see the bigger picture. Any experiences/opinions?

I've wondered the same thing as well. Opinions anyone?

All depends on the subject.

I've been doing physio, path, pharm for each organ. Biochem, microbiology, behavioral science, and biostats are all subjects that don't integrate well into organ systems. Anatomy and embryology are in a grey area that can either be integrated into organ or left as disciplines.

I put the 3 P's together because they are the heavy hitters on the exam so I wanted to make sure I gave adequate time for those.

i did it by sciences. Our administration recommended it b/c you see the impt material more than once. I did well.
