Which book did you use? How was your experience in studying? How was your schedule?

8 wks of studying
1st 2 is a reveiw of everything, next 6 spent doing Qs and Qs and more Qs
finished UW in about 4 weeks, did 4 nbmes, 2 kaplan qbooks, 150 usmle free qs, 350 kapla simulated exam, and random bunch of qs whereever i can find them. in total i think i did about 5000qs in 6 weeks.

the way i learn best is thro qs, so that was my strategy, i cant sit there and read and passively learn and remember the materials so i need to see qs and do them

my exam is this thursday so i will report back afterward

as far as the books i used
mainly FA for everything except path which i used goljan RR and BRS
physio i added BRS
and i used kaplan anatomy book which contains histo, embryo and neuro
