first aid study method

[SPatel]

after finishing the first read from kaplan, do you recommend a revision from kaplan or going through first aid? will reading from first aid as a method of revision be efficient or will i need to do kaplan side by side

Step 1 -- Brief 1st pass of First Aid (get down big topic ideas -- for example, knowing that a patient who presents with thick mucoid secretions and shortness of breath likely has Cystic Fibrosis)

Step 2 -- 2nd pass of FA with thorough memorization (memorizing small details -- for example, knowing that Extracellular Chloride concentrations in sweat glands are the implicated mechanism of Cystic Fibrosis symptoms)

Step 3 -- 3rd Pass and review, if applicable (this is NOT necessary if you are pressed for time).

If you want to learn more, see a detailed study plan, and use information that appears on at least 35% of USMLE exams (per polled students!) check out our YouTube channel.
