Study by subjects, biochem, anatomy, pathology, and so on. I think is better.
About doing UW while you are reading I personally think is not a good option.
Do a first or second reading of all books along with FA. Then do UW, leave it for last, to consolidate material information and to learn new stuff that are not in the books.
Do UW timed and random, is a better way to get ready for the real deal.
Good luck
many test takers do not rely on it
if u want do it when u are done with ur preparation ..
take nbme 6 or 7
if u get good scores go for the real deal
if not check where u lack
best of luck
Hey! My advice...study like 14-16 hours a day. Start off with doing Goljan audios with FA. Then move on to doing Kaplan videos with FA. All this time do UWorld questions. Later on do DIT, and do FA by yourself as many times as you can!
Unfortunately, not many people can keep up 14-16 hour days for that many months. I would say for most people 10 hours might be a bit more realistic. Obviously the more time you put it, the more likely you are to do better but don't do it at the expense of your sanity! Perhaps start at 8 and work your way up to 12 or more if possible. Or if you can go straight for 14-16, more power to you.
If it's about been awake I agree with Cautie in that most of us stay awake for 16 hours a day or more. But honestly does our brain retain material after studying for 10 or more hours. Well I don't think so. You can stay there reading but there's a big difference between reading and studying.
what do u think about Kaplan's Q?? or UW is much better ??
