Kaplan Qbank: One pass, it was the beginning of my preparation, it prepared me for UWorld.
UWorld Qbank: IS A MUST! (two rounds)
First Aid Book: It works if you want to memorize all, but that’s not my case, I need to understand first because I don’t have a brilliant memory, so I read all Kaplan books and assisted to the live classes, then I memorized the First Aid.
Pathoma: Another Must! Learn and understand the first three chapters.
SketchyMicro: If you have a photographic memory, this changes the game. An excellent source to learn micro.
Boards and Beyond: These are really good videos, I only watched some of them to strengthen some areas.
UWorld Self-assessment 2, NBME 18 and Free 120: days before the test day.
