What to do?

Okay I need the best possible advice. T-5 days until exam.

I have some 500 questions of uworld left. But I was choosing to not do those in favor of spending that time and doing the questions I got wrong. But now that I'm doing the questions I got wrong, Im not exactly sure if it's the best use of my time. All of uworld was done in the last 15 or so days, and I can answer most questions without thinking much about them because of straight recall. So should I spend this time on doing whatever is left of uworld? Or is there still some benefit in doing wrongs?

Most of my day is spent reading FA (doing 100+ pages a day. Wanted to finish FA in 5-6 days before exam). I'm only spending 2 - 3 hrs on uworld now. But does it make more sense to do new questions instead of my wrongs? Opinions?

Impressed you can get through that much FA.........I cant remember all those little details with that much info.

I would not do the wrongs. You even admit you remember them. So, what is the point if you reviewed them originally.

I would finish the rest of UW to see some new questions. Also, I would consider doing a warm up set maybe 10-15 questions before the real deal the morning of.

Well it's not really that impressive if you know that it took me 15 hrs to do 100 pages yesterday. That's about 6.5 pages per hr. Almost 10 mins a page. This is all I'm doing in my life right now -_-

Well, that is plenty of time to do it. I would just not remember much. I would be burned after 8 hrs.

2-3 cups of ridiculously strong coffee + the occasional monster energy = No burn out.

I didn't go over any incorrects separately. I went over them when I was doing uworld so I think I got a good handle on them. I think you should just go through uworld for the next few days but focus on getting through first aid. My plan was to do biochem, pharm, micro in the last few days and I think it helped. But try not to study in the afternoon/evening before the test.

I was in the same situation as you, and if I could turn back time, I'd focus on doing another read through of First Aid instead of trying to go through the 500 Uworld questions you have left.

Thank you everyone for your responses.

FA is definitely the first priority 🙂 I know for a fact that if I haven't done everything within 5 days I will miss an extra 5-10 questions just by virtue of my not being 100% sure about some detail. I will try to do as much uworld as I can. But definitely going to do new questions instead of wrongs (and maybe knock out another 150 - 200, without compromising FA review).
