hi guys...
i'm thinking about having the step1 exam after like a year and a half may be (whaaaaaat ...... i know)
but i am free for 7 weeks now then the sixth year 🙄 will begin for like 10 other months then i will be free for the rest till the exam date which i didn't put yet 🙂
so i want to prep my self early 👍
so here is the plan for that 😎
and any advices would be appreciated ...
i'm planning to read FA and understand as much as i can in the first pass with supplmentations with kaplan, Goljan and brs in the weak points and doing the questions after each block
in the second pass i will start memorizing and double check on the understanding with the questions.
in the third pass i will try to make a cards to remember the important things and for the quick review
then i'm going to do all the questions that are available till my eyes bleed
so what do you think guys?
is it enogh that way?
any suggestions..!!!

What do you mean by, 'then the sixth year will begin'?

 

[naji dowaid]

i mean that i've just finished my fifth year of med school
it's too late i know
did i forget to mention that i'm studing in Yemen <<<< yes you did 😡
anyway someone told that taking the exam is a very good idea so i decided to start preparing my self
so what do you think about the plan now?🙂

 

[MrBigLips]

Well in that case, Salaam brother. 🙂

Add uworld questions to that and I think it sounds like a great plan. You probably really only need to do kaplan twice and FA 3-5 times. You'll know when your ready when you start taking NBME's, which I recommend to do with 4 weeks to go. This gives you enough time to prepare for it, yet still enough time afterwards to improve in your weak areas when your done.

cliffs please?

thanQ MrBigLips but did you mean kaplan Qbook or note lectures ?

cliffs please?

what does that even mean?😕

 

[MrBigLips]

I was referring to the lecture notes. I never did the qbook so can't really comment on that.

 

[naji dowaid]

ok
but if i understood FA really really goooood do i need to go to kaplan lecture notes?
cause they are kind of long and someone told me that "to read a good book three good times is better than reading three good book"

and thank you
