Last week before Step 1--what would you do?

[Beetles]

Hi, I'm taking the Step 1 in a week and am looking for a little advice. Basically I'm deciding on how to spend my time--i.e. the ratio of doing Qbank questions vs. reviewing FA; what topics are most high yield?

Just looking for your two cents, thanks!

This topic keeps coming up. You can do both 50-100q and read FA, but cut down on time reviewing questions. At this point, you should be able to remember important uworld key points without reading every word. Alternatively, you could write a one-liner in a notebook and then review that the day before the exam. Either way, I would suggest doing FA + Uworld.

If you're done with uworld tomorrow, you could just redo wrong/flagged questions to save time instead. Aim for 30min to review a set of 48q. In your case, I'd focus more on FA with your notes. You might be surprise how fast you plow through it on your 3rd pass.
