I have 2 weeks left & I honestly feel like I need to review everything again - like I haven't looked at behavioral in a while, neuro in forever, etc but at the same time - I feel like I get more out of the USMLE World questions/answers - force me to look at things differently, etc. And I've done like 10% of UW as of now (before this, was using Qbank)...

What do pp do in the last 2 weeks? Not sure how to divide & conquer (review vs. questions)? Thanks for any thoughts/advice 🙂

EDIT: One quick thought - I have heard that UWorld is money, and I have enjoyed it - I tend to do qs, then review - but read the entire explanation & annotate my FA (takes forever). But relying on it fully at this point makes me nervous (cuz that's assuming that most of the points that will be on the actual USMLE are covered in either a USMLE world question or explanation - that seems farfetched to me????)

Have you looked at the final 2 weeks on the Taus method?

I havent taken step 1 yet, but that is what I am going to use to hopefully bring it all together. It goes over everything again, plus questions.

It is far-fetched. If you've got a gut feeling that you need to hit more review books, then you need to hit more review books.

If you have 14 days left, why not divide it by subjects/systems (whatever), take 1 day to review each, and do questions in the evening? If you feel really strong at the end you can do more questions then.

Yea... I guess that's true. I guess I'm confused cuz I seem to be doing ok/fine on the question banks (like I'd be happy to do as well on the real deal) but don't feel good about the material so I'm sort of confused about that.... oh well.... back to reviewing 🙁 Thanks for your thoughts!
