Step I I Need Help with Physio--esp Renal Physio

[schmartdoc]

In the initial phase of my USMLE study, I was able to review Micro, Immuno, and Patho well, now I get around 60-80 percent of the questions correct on UWorld. I'd used Kaplan Lecture Notes to review. However, even reviewing Physiology is really difficult for me. Renal Physiology questions are especially tough--I've been getting 0-30 percent correct on those UWorld questions.
One point I would like to add is that my Micro and Patho were really strong in medical school so reviewing these subjects didn't take long.

Please help, give me advice on whether Kaplan Lecture Notes are sufficient review, or is there any other resource that would be better? Also why is Renal Physiology harder to pick up than RS or CVS?

I thought the renal section in BRS was really good. You can go through it pretty quickly too. I've never really heard anything about Kaplan physio, to be honest.

Do USMLE Rx before UWorld. Rx will build your path. UWorld is the top-off.

Kaplan videos explain it well.
