I am going through UWorld during M2, while annotating in any facts I see in UWorld that are not in first aid.

I know the consensus is to try and learn First Aid cover to cover, but is UWorld also like this?

Thanks!

I also would like to hear more input on this. What about Kaplan's Qbank? Is the point to memorize EVERY tidbit we come across in our review materials?!

Nobody can really tell you what you have to study. There are low-yield points and high-yield points. As you study you're going to realize which is which, and if you focus enough on the high-yields you can get a great score without knowing a single low-yield piece of information.

I'd say any principle found in UWorld or First Aid you need to know. Other things are just too variable for anybody to be right about them.

No. Just because the sentence is in UWorld or Kaplan does not make it high yield. You need to develop a sense of what's low yield bull**** and what's important if you're going to do well on this exam. You can't memorize everything.
