I am new to the forum and seek your advise. After reading other posts,
I realize a lot of people are using First Aid and I have read it about twice. Although, when I look back, its strange how i miss a few details here and there.
Exam is in 5 weeks and I am border line on my NBME.
When I am reading Kaplan, although taking a bit longer. Atleast I am understanding the material better. Foe example -
I havent seen First Aid talk about Biotransformation of Drugs in Phase II but may be talk about Slow Acetylators and their relationship to SLE while reading of one the three drugs.
On the other hand, people are mainly saying Pharm is adequate in FA for Step 1.
SO my question is --> Should I read Kaplan if I am aiming for a good score and especially when I only have 5 weeks left or Should I just keep on trying memorize whats in FA.
Please do note - I have been through Kaplan material once only when I took the live course...I do feel confident with some material but it hasn't improved my grade.
Please do note, I am 50% done on Uworld with only 47% Avg 🙁. I am feeling a bit discouraged.
I would really appreciate an advise from someone as to how to approach these last 5 weeks.
Thank you so much!!
