tl;dr FA + UW

That's a lot of review books. Do you realistically think that you will be able to read all of those?

Would a better option be to simply use First Aid and if I feel like I'm having trouble with something then supplement that topic with X book. So First Aid plus+Uworld+Exams+more question banks? I didn't realistically think I was going to cover those books.

UW + FA seems to be the general consensus.

I also have goljan RR (really like) and BRS phys (ok, but I only use it when something needs clarification)

I remember our faculty telling us the amount of practice questions has the best correlation with your score. So it's important to do as much UWorld as possible so you're thinking in "USMLE mode." Plus, if you take notes from the question explanations, you're learning new material, not just assessing your level of knowledge. Hit FA a couple times then just start doing UWorld.

If you spend so much time reading all those books you're just going to spread yourself out and end up not having enough time to learn from UWorld.

KISS method: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
