How does my approach to Pathology sound?

Hey all,

I have 8 weeks in all to prep for Step I.

I have RR Pathology in my possession, but the book is simply too thick to go through in 4 days. Considering that I also want to do 1-2 blocks of questions each day and spend time to review the questions in depth (the meat of the learning for me), I don't think its wise to go through RR.

In addition, I didn't really use the book over the course of the year as I found the outline format harder to process.

Here is where it gets tricky. I would love to incorporate Goljan's lecture and slides along w/ my pathology study. His lectures are good. With this in mind, how doable is it to go through all of BRS Path in 4 days? Or should I spend more time since I have 8 weeks?

I intend on going w/ the Taus method. I need at least 3 passes. Might end up doing only 2 considering the time that I have. The truth is, after the first pass, I'm going to load my day up with at least 2 blocks or question and review in great detail.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

If I did nothing else I could probably go through BRS path in two days, maybe one and a half days if I was super motivated.

RR >>> BRS path


If you have eight weeks then spend at least one of those first four listening to Goljan and reading RR front to back. That was what I did and my UW path was >90%
