Recently, I've been trying to use Firecracker and First Aid to supplement my studying (Just so I have an idea of what I should be learning), and I've started to get discouraged. Firecracker cards range from ridiculously simple ("What does TSH Do?") to How the hell am I supposed to know this ("what group of people are most likely to get X cancer, or which signaling pathway each hormone uses").
Are the contents of Firecracker and Fire Aid (Organ systems) a reliable indicator of the level of detail we need to understand? I looking at these things now because I am strong conceptually with many things, and I can learn details, but I get a sinking feeling every time I see something a statistic, or something of that nature.
This is partially why I'm looking at these books in advance - there's no way in hell I could internalize that kind of information in such volume in 6 weeks. Should I make it a point to learn that stuff now?
Thanks for any input.
