Study
Plan:
• December
Break:
listen
to
all
of
Goljan
audio
while
taking
notes
on
word
document
similar
to
taking
notes
during
class
lectures.
In
2
weeks
I
was
able
to
listen
to
all
of
Goljan
with
a
couple
days
off
for
family
and
friends.
Accomplishing
this
task
gave
me
excellent
background
and
foundation
for
future
studying.
• January
1st:
Start
Uworld.
I
did
subject
tests,
untimed,
tutor
mode
–
i.e.
my
first
test
was
46
questions
of
cardiology.
The
questions
were
very
difficult
at
first
but
helped
me
get
accustomed
to
what
I
would
need
to
be
a
pro
at
in
the
end.
• January,
February,
March:
Completed
Uworld
two
times.
Would
do
1
block
a
day,
and
then
worked
up
to
2
blocks
a
day.
In
doing
blocks,
would
keep
a
running
word
doc
on
questions
I
got
wrong
and
organized
it
according
to
how
FA
is
set
up.
You
need
to
calculate
how
many
questions
there
are,
the
number
of
blocks
needed
and
how
many
days
you
have
total.
I
planned
it
so
that
I
completed
uworld
two
times
by
spring
break
(or
even
1.5
times).
During
this
time,
I
would
also
carefully
read
10
pages
of
FA
daily.
I
would
also
study
for
classes
and
set
aside
time
to
do
that
everyday.
The
info
you
learn
during
this
semester
is
very
high-‐yield.
• Spring
break:
Took
my
first
NBME
at
end
of
week
after
taking
more
uworld
blocks
and
reading
FA.
Scored
215-‐220.
Did
NBME
6
(very
outdated
one!,
not
true
to
real
test).
• April:
1-‐2
blocks
of
uworld
daily,
plus
10-‐15
pages
of
FA
reading.
Would
do
an
NBME
every
two
weeks
on
the
actual
day
I
was
planning
on
taking
the
test.
Went
from
220,
230,
242,
250,
252,
259
about
every
2
weeks.
Would
focus
on
topics
I
was
weak
on
based
on
my
score
report
from
NBME
tests
by
reading
FA,
watching
some
Kaplan
videos
on
that
section
and
even
some
DIT
(especially
for
neuro
for
which
I
watched
all
the
DIT
and
Kaplan
videos).
• May:
Continued
same
pattern
of
uworld
2
blocks
daily,
reading
FA,
focused
on
weak
areas
with
suppl
material,
and
taking
NBMEs
(some
from
prior
month
were
carried
into
May,
I
was
able
to
complete
all
NBMEs
available
online
before
June).
I
also
took
one
uworld
practice
test
(262).
Now,
for
the
third
pass
of
uworld
I
did
completely
random
and
timed.
During
this
month
I
also
revisited
Goljan
and
went
thru
entire
audio
again,
watched
Pathoma
(almost
finished
it),
and
dabbled
in
flashcards
for
pharm
and
micro
(though
I
never
really
found
any
I
liked
too
much
–
BRS
were
too
basic
and
Lange
were
way
too
detailed
esp
for
pharm).
By
the
end
I
had
now
completed
uworld
3.5
times
and
read
FA
about
4
or
5
times.
• June
(Week
prior
to
test):
The
week
prior
I
took
a
practice
test
at
the
center.
Then
that
same
day
I
found
the
answers
online
to
the
practice
test
(aka
Free
150)
and
went
over
all
the
questions.
The
rest
of
the
week
I
took
one
more
pass
through
FA
entirely
and
went
through
my
notes
that
I
had
taken
from
uworld
questions
(a
50
page
document),
and
my
goljan
document
I
had
made
(less
high-‐yield,
wasted
my
time
here).
I
also
took
one
more
uworld
practice
test
(number
2
of
2)
and
scored
265.
This
was
risky
but
a
huge
confidence
boost
once
I
got
my
score.
This
was
about
3-‐4
days
prior
to
the
test
• The
day
before:
Most
people
do
nothing,
which
is
fine,
but
I
heard
of
some
people
missing
easy
test
questions
from
micro
and
pharm,
so
I
ran
through
all
of
micro
and
pharm
sections
in
FA.
Finished
by
noon
and
was
able
to
relax
for
the
rest
of
the
day.
I
needed
to
have
these
easily-‐forgettable
facts
at
the
forefront
of
my
brain
prior
to
test
day,
but
again
don’t
study
the
day
prior
if
it
will
mess
up
your
sleep
schedule.
Final
score
was
262.
