I sort of feel like I'm alone in my class and alone in this forum. Everytime I go to the library everyone has Golgan, BRS, etc. I used Golgan through pathophys and glanced at him for kidney. Pretty much my main strategy is to know First Aid as well as I possibly can and to do as many World questions as I can (this isn't going that well either-- like 56% done with 12 days left) and read through all the explanations, right and wrong, taking notes and what I don't know.
According to my NBME's, I shouldn't fail. Scored a 225 on NBME 5 before I reviewed any of the organ systems. But I feel like I know nothing. I'm so frickin' slow. It takes me like 2 days to get through one section of First Aid-- they're not that long, but I really want to learn it and not just read it. To get through 48 questions of UWorld takes me 3-4 hours (this is going through the damned explanations).
Should I spread myself out thinner? Is Golgan a necessity? Do I have to do BRS Phys? Is it that High Yield or should I just supplement it if I don't understand what's going on in First Aid? I remember my classes pretty well and did okay during my first two years, so that's not really too much of a problem.
BTW, I'm aiming for a 235. Anyone do this using pretty much just first aid?
