I have Step 1 in late June, approximately 13 weeks away. We are still in class, and I haven't started doing anything and the anxiety is driving me crazy. I meant to read all of and annotate FA over the last 3 weeks and did not do that. Ive been doing all the crap they want up to do for classes, and a lot of of other random chores that keep popping up. After studying for classes, I usually try to exercise and eat, this has worked great for the first 2 years, now I keep telling my self I have to study an extra 3 or 4 hrs on top of that for step 1, until my dedicated period when I will have to study 10-12 hrs a day. How do you guys get yourselves going? And should I jump right into U world?- But I think at lest refreshing myself by reading FA before doin U world would be helpful.

I'd advise against hitting UWorld cold turkey. Perhaps do another Qbank first, so that you get exposed to most of the material at least once. I used USMLE Rx before doing UWorld because, in my opinion, it's the most effective way to help you memorize FA. If you do a block a day, you could probably finish the entire Qbank, and have most of FA memorized, before you start your dedicated study time. Then once school is over, you could probably hit UWorld very hard. Like 2-3 blocks a day.
