So what should I do during this last week? I was going to go over BRS path again but would it be better just to do questions from qbank, BSS, and other sources? I've been doing q's all day because I really don't feel like opening more books and reading and memorizing again.

I have a few more days than you, so I'm doing a systems based review. I do the path, phys, and pharm of 1-2 systems per day. It's going to take me 6 days and then I am going to review micro, anatomy, immuno, biochem, and B.S. (what I like to call biostats) for the next 5 days. Of course I will probably do at least 1 hour of pharm per day since it is probably my weakest subject. Well, besides biochem.

Oh, and I finished Q bank so I'm not doing those again. I am doing the Robbin's review of path questions each day, and in my last 5 days I'll probably check out some review books in the library and just do randoms to keep my mind in test mode.

Haven't taken the test yet but my last week is going to be dedicated to going over qbank and First aid with more time devoted to FA. Im thinking like 3hrs a day qbank and 7 FA

Yup. Im going to try and knock out the last couple of hundred in Q, and then hit the FA. Probably will read the HY books on the stuff I suck at. Its kind of cool when you study somthing intensly, return to FA and finally understand what some of the fine print means. I wish I could do that with all of FA instead of blindly memorizing, but time is running out.

Also on the to-do wish-list:

Kaplan Q-book (some)
BSS basic science (some)

Here's to wishful thinking..

Yeah I have the big dog on Tuesday and Wednesday. So tomorrow I am going to get thru as much of USLME secrets book as I can as well as qbank. Maybe do a bit of path and phys out of FA. Only got thru that book one and a half times but have been writing in it for the last year and a half.

Good luck to all
