if youre tight on cash, id forgo Kaplan and instead buy more NBMEs.

The combination of FA + those three big QBanks is 100% what you need.

Do you recommend taking copious notes for Kaplan and USMLERx the way you/I do for UWorld, or do you treat the other 2 as just practice questions and take only sparse notes on them? I've been taking detailed notes on boht U World and Kaplan so far and I often wonder if I'm wasting my time doing that with Kaplan.

if you actually can go over all 3 qbanks thats splendid. Though may I ask, what are you shooting for? Normally I would say Uworld + either Rx or kaplan should suffice.

My goal is to get 240+,,,I watched kaplan videos but I didn' find them as good as the DIT program, I did both, but I am not a big fan of kaplan notes, I find it so time consuming, I believe practice makes perfection, no problem considering cash for Qbanks, if anyone has suggestions about what Qbank should I go for after Rx?

I wouldn' recommend taking notes for usmle Rx as they are already FA items mainly...only take few notes considering the new concepts you may encounter, if you already familiar with FA, then no need for notes...the Rx makes you more familiar with FA skeleton

I don't mean to hijack this thread but would just going through UWorld twice and reading FA+ Pathoma be good enough for a 230? I don't know if I have time to go through 2 qbanks at this point(exam is in a little less than 3 months).

I was wondering how you could organize doing the questions? During class work/DIT course how many should I be doing?

How long does it take you to do half a block of Uworld? I kinda struggling with this.
