Hi all,
My school uses NBME questions from the banks to make their exams. I was wondering if using Anking would be sufficient to study? I made my own cards for our first block that was made in-house, but all the other exams will be NBME.
What resources are recommended in regards to practice questions?

Drop the in-house cards and use AnKing religiously. For practice questions use UWorld Step 1 Bank during pre-clinical and Step 2 bank during clinical. Keep up with your reviews instead of suspending if you are able to and you will crush your step exams.
 
UFAPS

U world, first aid (kind of outdated, all that information is what the AnKing cards are based off of), Pathoma, Sketchy (micro and Pharm)

You can throw in boards and beyond if you want.

If you’re trying to get AOA, do the third party stuff and then try to memorize the weird stuff in your professors’ slides.

If you don’t care about rank, just do UFAPS and you’ll get As and Bs and kill step 1 and 2
