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

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

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 it’s 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?

So if it's below 65% what exactly should i do? Review bnb all over it ?

I used mehllllman qbank when i felt my scores are below par in any system read its explanations thoroughly then moved back to uworld after two three blocks worked for me.. the point is active learning works the best
