What are the top 3 resources for step 1? Currently an M2 and just want to spend my time focusing on studying with the least amount of resources.
also, is the bro or yousmle deck better?

I think sketchy is the best money you'll spend. Then UFAP, but I used the bros Anki deck over first aid really. Also I think it's necessary to odo a second qbank along with your classes, I used Kaplan and it was pretty good.
So while I agree with your idea of limiting resources I don't think just 3 is enough at least for the entirety of 2nd year. Though I think saving uworld till Jan or so is good.

FA + Uworld + B&B (much better than pathoma imo)
I never used BB as it had only just started to come out when I had to take Step 1. But what I saw was definitely impressive. However, I thought BB wasn't strictly pathology (like Pathoma obviously is) but much more comprehensive. Are you guys saying BB does pathology better than even Pathoma? If so, that's great news.I hate reading FA. So I do BB, pathoma, Bros (now switching to Zanki), and sketchy. I use cram fighter to keep it organized. In order of importance as far as value I would rate it. 1) Cram fighter 2) BB 3) Bros/Zanki 4) Pathoma/Sketchy
Boards and Beyond will be added to UFAP as it gains traction because it really is better than pathoma IMO and I use both daily
I didn't really like pathoma that much - maybe the first 3 chapters were OK for the basic science stuff of inflammation/cancer, but the rest of the pathology was, IMO, much too basic for step1. B&B made more clinical correlations than pathoma did and did a much better job presenting pertinent information like you'll see on the exam.I never used BB as it had only just started to come out when I had to take Step 1.

Completely agree. I took Step 1 a while back. I did very well. All I used was FA + UW + Google for whatever I wanted to know more about or didn't know, which often landed me on Wiki.Uworld, FA, Wiki for me. Haven't done Bros or other Anki decks.
I didn't find out about B&B until halfway into 2nd year, I still used pathoma for each block and I'd still use it at least once, but the last ~4 months before my test I focused mainly on using B&B. I would do both but if I had to pick one I think I'd pick B&BAs someone who was considering purchasing pathoma soon, would love to hear more anecdotes about pathoma vs BB for path

It depends how your school does your blocks but Pathoma would've been irrelevant for me during 1st year because I was just doing basic sciences all of first year and it wouldn't be applicable. I would use B&B from M1 year because it covers everything (except pure anatomy). I would use Sketchy whenever you are doing micro and I did that during 1st year too!@Waterlover @Rekt All of the M2s at my school have recommended using pathoma/sketchy alongside our M1 blocks. If you were to go back would you use Pathoma or BB as an M1 or both?
