Hi guys.
I've been reading up on USMLE for quite a while and I'm taking the plunge this year. I'm a Pakistani Student, currently in 4th year and I fulfilling the basic sciences I started preparing from January, but only seriously started in the last week. Here's my plan. I intend to do the Kaplan lecture series, with the lecture notes first, as a complete review of all the stuff. My estimate is it'll take 3 months. (my estimate of length of videos is around 270 hrs, that by 5 hours/day with one day off per week and give or take for unforeseen circumstances). After that, I'll give two NBME tests in succession. Then I'll have a good idea about my state of preparation and will fix the date of the exam, For which I've tentatively decided the Aug-Sep-Oct period. After that, taking my own notes that I've made in my previous 3 years and FA and high yield I intend to revise everything over a month. In the remaining 4 months I am only going to take tests, point my weaknesses and and remedy them. First two months by the books and the next two by a subscription to Kaplan QBank. Other strategies I plan to deploy. * Spaced repetition. * Relaxation. * Not comparing myself too much to others. * And teaching my study partner what I know and listening to what she is saying |

Your plan is great but I think you should also add UW to the end of your prep plan.
Good luck! |

hi...
I think add UW and some ethic book in ur plan......do not bother for personal notes, I mean kaplan notes are more than enough,,do not waste time on other resources ..kap notes (5 times), video lectures(1), uw/kaplan bank(2), first aid(3)......assess by nbme...99 guaranteed... Good luck... |
