I have about 11 days before my last pass through FA and the test. So in these 11 days, I was planning on redoing my marked World (about 1200 questions), DIT workbook detail memorizing, miscellaneous weaknesses (anatomy/neuroanatomy/biochem skimming). I think though that I can I also squeeze in reading RR path.

Now, I've read the book throughout my second year, numerous times per theme, and listened to his audios numerous times per theme. I am VERY familiar with the book.

But in my dedicated study period, I only skimmed the blue margins/tables/and pictures.

But I am thinking now that I have the time, I could work through it. So, do you guys think I should:

1) Do it? Around 50 - 75 pages per day?
2) How to do it? i loved it during the second year cause it goes in depth but I feel a lot of it is like Step 3 level so it isn't necessarily high yield? Thats why I just stuck to pics/tables/blue margins?

I just took UWSA #1 and got a 238. I'd like to, without a reasonable doubt, get a 235 on test day. So, is reading Goljan, like actual chapters a good source for a point increase this late in the game or should i try to get in more random details.

I think he would help WORLD style questions that make you understand pathological processes much better but not sure about the actual test. all help/input is appreciated, thank you.
 
best way to read goljan quickly is by listening to the audio while reading the book. he covers almost everything during his lectures and it will force you to keep pace. load it up onto your ipod and double time it. if you're still going through questions you can stretch this out to 4 days, otherwise you can do it all in 2 if you have to.
 
so you think maybe reading just through his audio transcripts might be good?

i don't want to listen to anyone again for a while cause I just finished the DIT course and am sick of sitting back and being talked at.
