How will you split a day between FA and UW

In a 12 hr study schedule how do most people split the hours between UW and FA in a repeat pass. I know that its a matter of personal preference but curious about which one goes first-FA/UW? and what time of the day and how many hours are dedicated to each.
How do you deal with the dissociation of reviewing one FA subject and doing qbank random. Also while you are doing UW do you again lookup the topic in FA?

If you're doing your second pass of UW, I figure you must already know most of the stuff in the explanations and thereby no need of going through the material in FA again.

Definitely is based on personal experience, but I did all my UW sections during the least productive time of day. After lunch/dinner when I would get sleepy was my best time to do questions and keep myself going.

after going through FA once on my own i always used it in conjunction with another resource until the last few days of studying (when i read through several chapters once again). i would look up stuff in FA if i was unsure about a concept that came up in a kaplan or UW question and i would look through it while listening to goljan or watching kaplan videos. simply flipping through FA and "reading" is way too passive and you're sure to gloss over the same stuff over and over. IMO hearing the same info presented in different ways helps solidify it. i can't tell you how many times i heard something on goljan or on a kaplan video or saw something in a QBank question that i thought was totally new info but later realized i had glossed over it (sometimes several times) in FA

I did Uworld, annotated what I didn't know into FA. I'd do the random questions (get used to it because its how the real thing is) throughout the day, maybe 50 early and 50 evening, and read whatever specific FA chapter I was planning on doing in the middle.
