Hi-just wondering if it is possible to do well on the shelf exams just using FA and Uworld (and maybe some other question books/banks) plus working hard on rounds. I do better when I do tons of questions vs. get through a lot of material. Thanks!

I think you need at least one "wordy" book for each rotation. This can be pretest, step up, or first aid etc... based on the rotation. U world's question split is very much biased towards IM. For all the other rotations you'll only have 150-250 U World questions. For IM there are 1500, thus it is not very comprehensive for most of your rotations, and you may benefit from supplementing with question books such as Pretest.
