3535,
I decided to do my review subjectwise per UW & I supplement it w/ Kaplan DVD& notes & at times I read B&W also. I am hoping this will work.
I also have NMS but I might not have enough time to do that. MKSAP i don't know anything about it.
Whatever is working for you & your comfortable of doing then do it. We all have different preferences. The main thing is the EFFORT that we put in our studies. I believe that if we work hard then there's no other way but succeed. Good luck & see you around here often.
Meanwhile I am getting frustrated w/ Cardiology but it's one subject that we can't take for granted... right?

good luck!!
I "respect" the concept of trying to makeup lost time. Hats off to people who remain consistent this way in their schedule.
p.s. this post is just to remind myself to be consistent (& you all,too)whenever we lose perspective in the long prep.
M2,  let us know if u had a super-fast-sat'day fast enough to makeup lost studies.GL

Thanks for all the motivated people here. it's amazing how encouraging words & support does to one person. So keep up the good works hardworking fellas: karusmle,
cyra, platinum,3535, antigen ..(sorry if I forgot someone).
Hey lisam, GL on your test result.
to platinum,
I find the Surgery, OBGYN, Peds videos very helpful. W/ IM I just finished Cardio , then just doing the rest for enhancement . I mostly read Kaplan notes, working hard on q's esp UW. I will do qbook & Mock tests also & if I have time I will do Kap Q Bank.
I need not to sleep at times w/ all of these tasks but I have other responsibilities so it's hard. Anyways, I promised myself not to whine but work hard but I thank you all for your good participation in my journal. let's all work hard & prosper.

Done with emergency medicine.Got through the neurology lectures and am reading through the notes now...btw is it just me or are the neurology notes kind of haphazard??
Got done with endocrinology qs from UW too...still have to read throught the explainaitions though.
Hope everyone else's studying is going as planned.Till later...
