So I start my dedicated period in earnest tomorrow and am trying to optimize my schedule, but have a question that I couldn't find addressed anywhere else on here. I'll be doing the UFAP method and also re-doing SketchyMicro. During spring semester, I completed a full 1st pass of FA, Pathoma, and Sketchy; I've got almost exactly 2/3 of UWorld 1st pass left to do. Thus, my priority is obviously going to be finishing up UW, while doing 2 more passes of my other sources.
I've got a certain number of UW questions each day I have scheduled to complete, and then the rest of my studying that day will be from my other sources. My question is, should I study the same subject/system during the same day/week for each source, or should I stagger them? For a simplified example, if I'm doing Cardiovascular questions on UW during week 1, and then Neuro questions on UW week 2, should I also do FA/Pathoma Cardiovascular during week 1, or is it better to "stagger" topics and do the FA/Pathoma Cardiovascular when I'm doing UW Neuro?
If I do FA/Pathoma Cardio the same days as UW Cardio, I worry that I'll forget more stuff then if I staggered/stretched out sources. But at the same time, I also worry that staggering sources will make it much harder to master each subject since I wouldn't only be focusing on one subject/system each day/week. I would appreciate any input anyone may have in regards to this dilemma!
