Time's short - UW or Goljan??

My exam's in 18 days...I am almost done with UW - cumulative 72% w/ 15% left. However, I haven't started reviewing Path or gone thru FA. I'm trying to break a 250, but so far, no dice on any of the nbmes (1 = 234, 3 = 240, 4 = 244).

I could use some sincere advice, please. Should I stop writing out all of UW and focus on Path or finish doing UW? I am learning a great deal from UW and was planning on doing all of it again. Possible to do both in 18 days or am I kidding myself?

Thanks in advance

Is there a pattern to the types of questions you are getting wrong in UW?
I find that I learn and retain information best when I'm asked to apply it, ie, doing questions.
One problem is that learning in this style can be pretty time consuming if you don't have the proper base.

I'm just starting my step prep; sorry I can't give a better answer.

18 days is tons of time. I'd recommend continuing to do questions every day, even if its only 1 or 2 question blocks. Make sure you get through all of UW at least once, and try to get through all your incorrect questions at least once more... but as for trying to get through all of UW again? You time would be better spent making sure you get through FA and RR at least once apiece (preferably twice imho).

And take a deep breath. You're already knocking on 250 and you got over 2 weeks left to study. You'll be fine.

The questions should be at 150-200 per day for the last 2 weeks, but definitely review FA at the same time and definitely listen to Goljan.

As for RR, take your 3 weakest areas and read through those chapters in Goljan RR.

I say push stop on that goljan audio if you think you're running out of time. Questions are the most high yield thing you can do...finish out that 15%...it's more updated than Goljan and therefore more relevant. Review path at a pace you can control (Goljan has a set time per lecture that you have to allot) ...read First aid and RR. And as someone said, 18 days...i had about 28 days total to study so 18 days is like FOREVER. I really don't see why you can't do all. The biggest obstacle I see for you is retaining stuff ie retaining that 250 now for the next 18 days...that's where things like First Aid and Rapid Review are key.

I used him, respect his info but cmon man you got money starring you in the face people want your audio and books and lectures the guy has no self confidence or he would have developed his own tutor service like DIT or whatever co.
