Hello, so I have a little more than 9 weeks to study for COMLEX Level 1. I have First Aid, DIT, Pathoma as well as Kaplan Books and QBank and COMBANK for 2 month subscription.

I don't know how to make a plan. Some people are saying to read First Aid first or watch DIT videos/get through First Aid while others are saying do questions all day and refer back to First Aid annotating wrong answers. I am so lost and confused and need help...

I'll second that you should do questions along with every section. Don't do systems focused either. Just do random timed 46 question blocks. You'll learn stuff before you cover it. I suggest writing down your wrong answers, and reviewing that day's questions at night.

Watch DIT, read appropriate FA section, read appropriate Pathoma section/videos, random question set -> repeat every day

Thanks for the advice! I'm not taking USMLE

Well that makes things a little simpler but you still need UWorld. Savarese too.

I have Saverese Green book, but why UWorld if I'm not taking USMLE?

Explanations cover the topics thoroughly in a manner that will supplement your base knowledge. If you can finish that Qbank (with thorough review of explanation) and add a bit of Combank/green book you are setting yourself up for a very successful COMLEX. Don't talk yourself out of UWorld.

If you find something difficult to retain, write it down in your own words and review it often.
