To give my background on Step 1, I've gone over First Aid 2x, done pathoma, read BRS physio, RR biochem, and BRS behavioral science. I'm an m2 taking the test in June

I have started doing qbanks on random blocks during winter break
USMLER(14% completed)- 70%
Kaplan Qbank(13% completed)- 70%
UWorld(11%)- 65%

Now my question is that should I incorporate Goljian to this? or just keep doing questions and review the material I have already used.

Are there any of you guys that didn't use Goljian audio and still performed well? Thanks

Goljan audio is great to just listen to on your ipod/mp3 player when you walk to and from class, in the gym, or when driving/taking public transportation. I listened to it in this fashion (sort of passive rather than active listening) during my entire M2 year. It really drilled the concepts into my head over the long term, it seems. And things really stuck with me well into 3rd year and even when studying for Step 2.

Goljan audio isn't necessary, but it's also something you can add to your repertoire without really sacrificing any other resource, since any Goljan audio is better than none IMO, and you can do it when you'd otherwise be listening to music (or nothing at all).
