I have heard some people say if you memorize FA you'll be fine for Step 1, so I would like to get a bit more feedback on this.
I was just talking to an IMG, and she said she memorized FA and did all the questions in the USMLE World Qbank, and scored >250. I asked how many times she had to go through FA to have it memorized, and she said she literally made flashcards of every detail and memorized them, so she probably went through it numerous times. It took her 1 year to do this, but she did it while she was still taking classes at a foreign medical school that was not structured toward preparing for the USMLE.
Anyway, I was just wondering what your experiences and/opinions are regarding this strategy. :notsure:
