Anyone have any suggestions for studying for the surgery comat? I have several good weeks to study for it but I wanted y'alls opinion on it because my school has mandatory reading that I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole.
The mandatory reading is Essentials of General Surgery by Lawrence and Foundations of Osteopathic Medicine. I glanced at both and they're hot messes, both are extremely text dense and I have never been able to read textbooks like that. My mind immediately wanders off and no studying tricks have helped me get my focus back. I've tried, school has tried, etc. And watching WiseMD surgery videos.
What I would like to do instead is read Pestana Surgery notes, OME notes and videos, do combank, comquest, kaplan, and uworld surgery questions. Also, I have to score a 90 minimum on the comat in order to pass it, so I'm not sure how doable it is with my tentative study plan.
If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears. Thank you!
