Starting board prep

We are starting our pathology class soon and wanted to start step 1 studying along with the class. I have been reading FA along with my classes this year but nothing too serious. I wanted to incorporate Pathoma,Goljan audio, and a question bank into my class work. My question is should I do my first pass of UWorld now then do the second one during dedicated time or save it entirely until dedicated time? If not UWorld now, what else should I use? Any other tips/hints would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Pathoma + Goljan audio + 1st aid + BRS phisyology , Start with Usmle RX qs for now and Uworld closer to exam time ...

Pathoma + Goljan Audio (not the book) + FA + Gunner Training is what I'm doing and getting a lot out of it. Uworld is so important that I'm trying to go through it twice instead of doing another qbank and then Uworld.

Im not too familiar with Usmle RX...Any other insight about it (other than what can be found on their website)?

How do you have time for 2 review books, class, and 2 question banks?

You are at a P/F?

Every school is more or less P/F for year 1 and 2. Most AAMC documentation says there is little weight on what happens year 1 and 2. Ace Step 1 and your dreams will come true. Everyone in my class is obsessed with A's on everything (undergrad mentality); not sure they even know the boards exist yet.

Pathoma (material preview) + Review school ppts/watch online lecture + GT to test the material and nail down high yield + Goljan at gym and 30 min to and 30 min from school + more lame school stuff + annotate FA after exam = solid B grades and hopefully a good board score.

Alvarez13, are you annotating FA based on Qbanks or whatever you missed on your exams?
