Did 1 pass of First aid with pathoma (after watching lectures, just read the book). Then took school offered CBSE and scored a 198. Then did another pass of FA with pathoma. This pass took me around 24 days. Much longer than 1st first (prior of CBSE 16 days). Why? because i was alot more complacent. So the systems that i learned earlier in that 24 day period were not as fresh and it showed.

So took USWA 1 today: 215

It was not too bad. Questions seemed a little bit more difficult than regular Uworld q bank questions. May be because it was a "real" thing. But anyway. I scored a 215. Nothing spectacular.

Cardio path: 4/8 = 50% correct, Heme path 2/9 = 22% correct. Overall path: 36/68 = 52% 😡😡
Overall Pharm: 12/19 = 64% correct
Overall Physio: 14/21 = 66% correct


So i was planning on going through entire pathoma in next 4-5 days and brush up on couple of other systems/things before i take UWSA 2. And then i can figure out where to squeeze in DIT, another thorough pass of FA with pathoma etc. I have little more than 5 weeks before the test date. Thoughts?

Seems weird that path is lower than your pharm and physio given that you went through pathoma.
I have never tried DIT, but based on the posts in this thread it seems as if it takes a solid 2 weeks to do. that will leave you 3 weeks to do questions and review.

Well, big chunk was from heme section and i reviewed it 3 weeks ago and same for cardio. So i would think its probably because i forgot some of the detail that required to answer the questions.
