Firecracker and accelerated preclinical curriculum

MS1 here and I've been doing FC since day 1 (13% banked). I really like and am doing well in school thus far but have a question about the efficacy of FC in a school that has 1.5year preclinical curriculum (like mine). At my school most people take Step 1 in the winter-spring of 3rd year after being in the clinics for ~1 year (get ~2months to study). My goal is to bank most topics by the time I start clinics but I probably won't be able to continue FC daily during rotations. Do you think its still a good strategy to keep doing FC throughout my preclinical time, then stop when I start rotations and hit FA, UWorld etc. during my dedicated review time? TIA

That's my plan as well. You're going to destroy the test.
