Hi guys, its me again, this time im just wondering what peoples take is, Ive been doing this for 4 days and its worked for me. Ive been doing board simulator series to LEARN the material instead of my kaplan books. Ive already finished goljan so i feel like im kinda ready. But what is your take on this strategy of not looking at kaplan books and doing all of BSS. Is it realistic, esp given my exams in 2 weeks. What about the picky low yield q's in BSS, just learn em as well? Thanks everyone.

I am using 1997 version of BSS. I think it is a little old. What are you using? It is a little harder. A lot of stuff you can not see in Kaplan or FA.

BSS is old stuff.useful when u complete a subject just to see how much u know about it .as such it is a poor source.
go for nbme if u have just 2 weeks left.
good luck.

Yea, I have the 97 version as well. I will do the nbme as well, but a week before. This week im hoping to kill all of the BSS books, although they are old, the explanations are awesome and I can learn from them. So anyone do the BSS and find them useful, I am going to do them regardless cuz i just so tired of reading the kaplan books.
