Hmm...probably 7-10 times.
I would say 2-3 times. Probably 2. Unless you can get thru 80 pages in about 5-6 hours...possible if your FA isn't marked up a lot.
At least 3 times, but it is not the most efficient use of your time.
Going through hundreds of questions per day and referring back to FA when you are weak on a concept is a better use of time. Active learning will retain the concept more than passive reading.

That's especially true for material like path, but stuff like drugs and bugs isn't as concept-heavy. It has to be memorized at some level or UW questions may be more frustrating and less helpful. I think that's where it's good to throw in some repetition.
i think I might be a really fast reader, but I can usually read a first aid chapter in about 30 mins, so maybe my advice doesnt apply unless you are a fast reader
Well, I think it depends on how well you know first aid. If you know the material well, then it won't be really reading but more like scanning. I'm going through my first pass of FA and my speed is about 4 pages/hour. On my second pass, I think I can increase it 3x to 12 pages/hour.
Im with noeljan, as I also read fast. But I guess for less advanced it may take longer.😴
Hey NoeLJAN.....any relation to goLJAN ???
