Right guys,

Just finished MS2.

Taking my step 1 in december (I'm an IMG) so the next sixth months will be fairly dedicated prep for it.

Some subjects in my school were taught very badly (bio, micro, pharm, path)

I have amassed a whole host of material now, but am looking to structure it into some sort of programme for the next six months.

I have access to all of the following

Kaplan Lectures + Books
Kaplan High Yield videos
First Aid Express
DIT 2012
Pathoma
Goljan Audios and transcripts + RR
Clinical Micro Made Ridiculously Simple
USMLE World Qbank
Kaplan QBank
USMLE Weapon
BRS physiology videos and book
First Aid 2012

So I guess I've got all the resources now (not sure if i'm missing anything major), and just wondering how I should structure it all into a coherent plan.

I'd be looking to do Kaplan Pharm videos, CMMRS + Kaplan Micro Book, and Pathoma first as those are my three weakest subjects. how many weeks you think I should give to getting through these three sources??

When should I begin doing QBanks?
How many questions a day should I be doing?
When should I be looking to do DIT and First Aid Express?? are these best done closer to the exam?

Any advice appreciated, suffering I guess from a case of source saturation and not sure how to organise it all.

Thanks
