Open question...any thoughts?

Also, what do people do on the final prep day?

I'm planning on reviewing pharm/micro and looking at histo again and practice writing my marker board stuff a couple times.

Full of panic.

Made a Step 1 file and trying to go through everything one last time. Seen it all at least 3 times so trying to get that up to 4 (5 is optimal).

when people go through things for the last time, do they actually know everything (especially everything in Pharm (drug lists, etc.) + biochem (liposomal disorders,etc.) + Repro (aortic arch, etc.) chapters)?

>_> I mean, ideally, yeah you should know everything...

I haven't decided yet but so far I will definitely be looking at the back of FA high yields, and going through a list of notes I wrote out for UW (when I review sets I write a one-line fact on the question/answer I got wrong, so it's basically my own high-yield for stuff I either didn't know or made a stupid mistake on).

Might read Goljan's blue side bars.

Here's my plan for the last 5 days... tryna keep it light!

The ultimate plan for finishing strong after slacking for the last 2wks
Day 1 - - NBME13 + Free 134 question (to simulate actual exam)
Day 2 - - Review NBMEs + USWA1/2 + Free NBME
Day 3 - - Review some more NBMEs
Day 4 - - Review F/A organ systems...
Day 5 - - Review F/A general principles (micro, embryo, biochem) and all pharm again.
Day 6 - - D-DAY!!!! YAY!

I had 9wks of total dedicated time, so I was pretty hosed after about 6wks..... and have just been kickin it.. don't wanna go into the exam wanting to punch out the screen.

Theres good high yield images and questions from the side bar notes in RR. I didnt make them, so not taking credit.

Have any of you heard if the High Yield section at the end of FA is actually helpful or is it not that great. I haven't even looked at it yet but wasn't sure if I should do it the day before the exam or if my time would be better spent doing something else.
