HELP! Neurology/Psychiatry is so Weak

My neurology/psychiatry is so weak and I'm trying to polish it up. What should I do? I talked to my cousin and he said he had tons of neurology on his test that he took three weeks ago. I know that every test is different but I can't help but worry that I will have the poor luck of the draw.
I am trying to triage this and cover the neccessities.
I was thinking of just studying:

• Neuropharmaceuticals -neuroleptics, tcas, ssri's, etc..
• Drugs of Abuse + withdrawals/Tx
• Intracranial hemorrhages
• Ocular palsy's and gen. eye path
• Dementia
• Demyelinating Dz's
• Brain tumors
• Tracts of spinal cord
• UMN & LMN lesions

Any and ALL input would be greatly appreciated! If you could possibly tailor this list with your suggestions. I know I should know most everything but at this point its about what I can do and what I will be able to retain.

I have 2 weeks and 5 days remaining till the big day...

I was attempting to cover neuro via kaplan but i am finding it a bit detailed (i was always weak in neuro)

Do you think FA neuro (and RR neuropath) is sufficient??

 

[kryptik]

it was for mine, and others have said the same, definitely go through the images and angiogram in hy neuro if u have it

Ty kryp! What was that last thing though you said? KY? I know RR is goljan's Rapid review, just didn't get the last one. I been drilling it down, I know images are going to be weak for me in general so I kind of gave up on that... or atleast save it for the end. But FA has been pretty good, just having to google things a lot. Think I am going to just stick to that itinerary of topics, think thats all I will be able to do at this point 😴
T-Minus 24 days... I'm exhausted already lol but my anxienty keeps me going!
Pray for me!

yes i meant high yield neuroanatomy,it has really good images, cross sections and angiograms, dont go nuts on it though just know the common stuff, sorry for assuming you knew what HY was... the KY threw me off lol, those KY jelly commercials on tv came to mind haha

Ty, yeah I am just now finishing it... and its been brutual! Its taken me almost 2 days to get through the whole section. Feel like this section has wore me out the most, took so much energy to get through. I'm done with uworld and kap qbank... I think at this point its just gotta be FA (esp since I don't got HY) but I am worried about the images b/c I feel like thats how they test your knowledge... via CT and MRI's -- which I'm miserable at btw. I will be really sad if I know everything about something and still get it wrong because they ask me through imaging ehhh
