Does anybody recommends this videos after doing kaplan?? Are the videos worth it?! appreciate your opinion Thanks !!🙂

There are a LOT of errors in the videos. Some subtle, some not so subtle. If you are aware of when Dr. Francis is in error, then the videos can be of some use because Dr. Francis does a good job with the "big picture". If you are pressed for time, just watch the videos that cover the PASS "Major Concepts", e.g., Low Energy State, Restrictive vs. Obstructive Lung Disease, etc.

Are you referring to the 2010 videos? well I have 5.22 months roughly calculated and I was thinking doing the the last two months for watching these videos plus UWORLD DIT and FA solid.

The videos most people say are from 2010 are really 2008. In one of the videos Dr. Francis refers to the original Iron Man as having just come out in the theaters, which was in 2008. But I was referring to the set of videos that are "floating around'.

I watched most of these and I think they would be better with coursework and not for USMLE prep. However, if you have >5 months you could do them and I think they would be helpful overall (keeping in mind the errors). You said "last 2 months doing these", I would not do them that close to the test if you have 5 months; I would watch them now.

Yes, I agree with that order. The Pass videos have large stretches of "wasted time" (eg they ask the students a question and it takes a minute to answer). Kaplan and Goljan are much more to the point. Ultimately, if you have this much time, doing the Pass videos now would be reasonable and your suggested progression (Pass then Kaplan/Goljan) is good.

If you're not planning on doing it, please add Pathoma to your vidoes that you'll watch. They are by far the best videos to watch for Step prep.
