last minute biochem help

[justpremed]

i'm taking step I in 6 days, but i seem to keep missing all of the UWorld ?'s on biochem. i've gone through the biochem section in FA a few times and always think that i know it well, but when i get to the questions, i generally have no idea how to answer them. any advice on how to brush up on the subject? i have hi yield biochem, the kaplan books, and the kaplan lectures, but i'm not sure which of those will be most efficient given the short amount of time i have...or if there's something else i should use instead for this last minute review.

thanks in advance!

Try BRS (Board Review Series) Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, & Genetics. It's great. Good luck.

The kaplan biochemistry book is really good but it consumes a lot of time. I think that the best approach for you, considering you don't have too much time, would be to read FA (again) and do a lot of questions so you can learn how to approach them.

you have it in 6 days....study 1 source. fa.

FA is all you need (more than you need most likely). the questions will be clinically relevant (what enzyme is deficient in Von gierke's glycogen storage d/o etc.). Big things are the congenital deficiencies like PKU, galactosemia, lysosomal storage disorders (hunter, hurlers, tay sachs...), OTC deficiency. I would focus on that.
