Hello everyone, very helpful forum here with some great information and hours of searching/reading.
Anyways, I've yet to find a study schedule that I like so I am custom making my own. This schedule dictates that I complete USMLEWorld twice (I am a big believer in repetition).
However, the way I have the schedule set up I finish the questions for the final time with 9 days remaining until the exam. I have pretty much reserved those final 9 days for cramming, namely cramming First Aid. Do you all think it would be advantageous to reduce the number of questions I do earlier on so that I am doing UWorld questions up to, say 3 days out? I'm worried that I will get out of the habit of questions or may forget key material presented in the questions if I finish too early. Conversely, if I do questions later I'm worried it will impinge on my cramming time. What do you think?
Secondly, I'd like some input on which order I should use my resources in. Here's what I have: First Aid 08, RR path, HY behavioral, HY biochem, HY cell + mol. bio 99, BRS phys, CMMRS, BRS pharm cards. First Aid states to do the more crammable material last (physio, behavioral). The first week I have scheduled out to read through First Aid. That then gives me 3 weeks to get thru the above books and leave me 2 weeks to review. I'm thinking I should start out with RR path, then CMMRS, then the HY books followed by BRS physio. Sound good?
Thank you for your input!
