How to improve Biochemistry and genetics

[Liang]

I did very poor on these two from UW and NBME. Besides redo FA and UW, is there any other effective way to improve given only one month left for the exam.

Do you actually know the information or are you just doing question ? If you're really weak on the subjects I suggest you watch Kaplan videos or read the BRS books. Do you read the questions after you miss them and realize why you got it wrong?

Good point and thanks! I guess I missed some key details on bio but for genetic, my knowledge was insufficient to reason the questions out.

No. I would just recommend FA and questions for biochem and genetics.

You are a little crunched for time. Do this-do the kaplan videos and take color coded notes real quick, up the speed on the videos. Then teach your reflection everything you learnt like you're explaining to an ordinary person. And alongside, race through all the mnemonics in FA for biochem diseases to help you identify whats what when you see a question. Don't sweat it, but don't put all your eggs in one basket like a qbank...

Hi! I got the same problem. Took NBME 16 and got 225. Genetics and biochem are on the border. The rest is much higher. I did not book the date yet but would like to work on these subjects.
