Hi guys, i have 12 days to go for my step 1. right now have done half the qbank (274/676 patho ques). Have been hearing that robbins review is really good. now should i go do robbins review or do path questions from qbank.
qbank takes more time compared to robbins coz of the long explanations and slow internet speed (i have a slow connection). its like 50 ques of robbins review takes same time as 30 ques of qbank. so considering the time spent and the relevance of questions to usmle, which is more worthwhile?
or should i do both and spend less time on explanations?

I'd just do both qbank and robins review. you can easily finish all 1500Q in 12 days. thats not asking too much at all. if your only going to do one of them, I'd do Qbank, its more integrated, while robins review is just straight path and no pathophys or integrations b/n subjects.

ya dude, guess will do qbank comlpete + robbins review questions with explanations of only those that i get wrong.
problem is i need to revise path theory as well coz been 2 months since i did it last and i figure that is more important coz if one knows the matter then questions will automatically get solved.
whats ur take on me doing robbins questions with explanations of only those that i get wrong
