I disagree Taboo Topic - Studying Before Medical School
I understand the commonly accepted advice is to not pre-study for medical school.

However, I want to do as well as I possibly can on Step 1, and strongly believe now is an excellent time to work ahead and set myself up for success. I have a good background in anatomy and physiology, and a reasonable background in pharmacology and pathology from my undergraduate major. I think this foundations means I would not be wasting my time trying to study ahead.

What would be the best resource(s) for me to utilize to study before medical school? Pathoma? Robbins? Sketchy Micro? Something else?

Thank you.
