hey friends. i have a question. when should i subscribe for uworld? i am studying first aid as of now.....done with kaplans one read. exam is in 2nd week of dec. i am confused if i should give kaplan a quick second read first or start with uworld ? any suggestions?? plz i really need advice on this one. i am not able to make up my further study plan with this confusion.
thanks
I would suggest doing uworld now, as you have done first read kaplan , n fa . When u do uworld you will know your weak ares n things you cudnt memorise properly. so you can go over kaplan notes for 2nd time with a better idea of where to focus. you can improve, consolidate n be confident by the end of ur 2nd read. After that you can do FA , take your exam and get an awesome score...
(Dont forget nbmes)
thanks nitowl i am not yet done with firstaid yet.i think you are right il try to finish uworld subject wise and than give 2nd read to kaplan and first aid.do you think i got enough time?how much time does it usually take to finish uworld in general?thanks again
if you are serious about Dec, then u need to start UW asap. no need to do random in the start as u can do it to review your mistakes and marked questions. But u need to start working on it.
I also want to take it in December. Is it absolutely necessary to start UW asap? Hopefully i'll be done with all subjects as of October, but I want to do a 2nd revision with Kaplan Qbank and start UW in November.
Is it too close? I though one can do UW in 2 months. Should I just skip Kaplan Qbank then? Should I also skip the 2nd pass?
yes Tootsie i would do it in your case. i know Kaplan is more difficult than UW but the latter is definitely more vital.i would suggest one complete round of UW and then your marked plus wrong questions. N plz do hand exercises because u will need to write. i got tennis elbow by the time i finished it...LOL... good luck for december

another thing-- i totally agree that u can do UW in 2 months but trust me you don't wanna do it in the last two months. it may make u nervous and you may freak out.So get this monkey off your back early so that last 1.5 months are just reviewing the material and nothing new
My major concern though, is that although I know the concepts very well, I still have to memorize those smaller details that's why I planned on doing kaplan while revising LN and FA.
Otherwise I may feel like I'm guessing on questions.
Is this normal? Can I still get 250+ using only UW as a qbank?

hey, i think FA helps better to memorize tiny tit bits.its easy to recall.il start u world as soon as im done with first aid.which is by 20th.what about you?its better we get over with it soon so that we will have time to go through marked n incorrect questions again.from what i can gather doin more and more questions is much important than revising kaplan.what say?
