I need advice. I am:

(1) Terrible at learning from lectures/videos/anything that requires listening
(2) Not a fan of dense textbooks
(3) Extremely ADD
(4) A HUGE fan of active learning and problem solving
(5) A low-GPA student (never failed a course, but have had several close calls)
(6) VERY computer-oriented
(7) An independent studier

Basically, I feel like I need the most interactive board prep course available, preferably geared towards students who have struggled in curriculum. Not too much monotonous video-watching or text-reading. I like to answer questions, solve problems, do e-flashcards, etc.

What are some good options for me?

Based on your style:

- Doing lots and lots and lots of questions (there are about 10,000 questions on Usmlerx, Kaplan and UW combined, excluding NBMEs, UWSAs and possibly some additional pathology questions from WebPath and Robbins Review of Pathology)
- Building a flashcard database for yourself
- Working with a study partner

I am very ADDish. I found Firecracker to be great for this reason. I is a bunch of flashcards and recall questions. You can use it on a mobile app as well, which is a nice bonus.
