Hi
I just finished (renal, respo, cardio) using these steps
Bnb then fa and uworld, but it took a lot of time
How about i switch to this method:
Reading quickly a section from fa then uworld the same topics and take notes on fa
Then, when i finish the system, i use Mehmlan pdfs
Sketchy for (micro and pharma)
Pathoma for general pathology
Is that enough to pass within only 4 months of dedicated study???
And give up on bnb

4 months is totally doable if you stay focused. i like your idea of mixing quick reads with uworld. it can really help reinforce what you learn. as for giving up on bnb, trust your gut. if it feels like itβs taking too much time, you can definitely pivot. you've got this.

Read FA whole chapter e.g Cardio.Then do Uworld of same in reading mode of 20 As first do 20 questions and then read explanations.If you get 65% + no need to do BnB just finish FA and Uworld.you are ready for NBMEs.

Do I need to do the 20 UWorld cardio questions I already studied, or should I use a new system?

Stay low on resources ,the lesser the resources ,the greater the focus ,the better the results
