Hi - here is my situation:
Due to an illness in which I needed to recover, I was not able to prepare for step 1 during the 6 weeks that we were given in May-June. Now that I have fully recovered I have exactly 4 weeks + 1 day until the exam. I spent all morning reading up on what others used during this time frame, and initially decided on the UFAP (UWORLD, FA, PATHOMA) method.
However, I feel there is just not enough time during the day to go through 2 blocks of UWORLD (fully reading all explanations and annotating into FA), 30 pages of FA, and still watch Pathoma lectures. I am thinking about cutting out Pathoma - since I feel UWORLD does a great job of explaining the pathophysiology and mechanisms behind diseases. Is this wise??
So with the remaining 4 weeks, I will read FA 2X to memorize as much as possible, and then read and annotate thoroughly ALL the UWORLD questions. Do you think I can achieve a 230-240 on Step 1 WITHOUT pathoma??? Thank you!!
