Using Sketchy (Path, Pharm) for board prep

[cooldown]

Who is using OR has used Sketchy path and pharm for board prep?

I have completed some sketchy path but havent' done renal/cardio / pulm/immuno for it. is it too late now for MS-2 for board exam coming up?

I make notes in the sketchy hardcopy of path/pharm booklet. I watch the sketchy video and do anki cards on sketchy images after.

I used sketchy micro and pharm and loved them (I’m a visual learner), but the path videos were, for me, too long and the images too complex to keep in my head.

i heard this before and didn't try sketchy path earlier. I am talking about people who ARE USING SKETCHY Path and enjoying it . How's it going PEEPS? I have a printed notebook of sketchy path images+notes + anki cards(sometimes i just use the online feature though to review instead of cards b.c they don't work as well)

Sketchy Pharm is 100% the only reason I know anything about drugs. Same with micro. Never used path as I had Pathoma.

What was your method of using sketchy drugs? Im MS-2 , gone through many of Drugs so far, but now it seems like I have to keep up anki reviews of sketchy pharm

That's exactly what I do. As we've gone through pharm lectures through the past year and a half, I move those sketchy pharm anki cards into individual decks and have been keeping up with them since. I think it's an efficient way to stay on top of the pharm.

I think between pathoma and B&B, I don't find any value form the sketchy path videos I've seen. The pharm ones are long enough.

I more or less ignored my pharm lectures and exclusively used sketchy. Did fine on the exams, so I reckon it worked. Didn't use anki. I ended up making several passes through the videos and frequently reviewed the images before boards.

What's your method for keeping up with the cards? When in your day do you do your reviews?

I do mine first thing in the morning. Well, after the gym. Typically, I wake up, go to the gym. Then when I get back, make a cup of coffee and change my deck settings to "0 new cards/day", so it only shows my reviews. Then I go through all my reviews for the first two hours or so. By then I'm showered and my bag is packed, and I head to campus to do UW or get an early start on my classwork. But I tend to do that in the afternoon. Around evening time, typically after dinner, I'll change the settings to "100 new" for my zanki deck, and I'l get through my new cards.

I used pretty much only sketchy pharm for pharm and so far it’s been more than enough for NBME exams at least. Take the real thing soon so hopefully it’s all that I’ll need haha

I liked using Anki to learn and remember micro and pharm (to reinforce class material). The pre-made decks are pretty good with these subjects. I tried Sketchy Micro and it's okay if you watch it a few times. Didn't use Sketchy pharm.
