umm... wow..u really r walkin a tite rope.... ok...

so my advice.. first read....do it alll...eat sleep think dream step 1....b/s,ana,biochem...do them so well... that u only need to skim them for second read... then concentrate ur entire bieng on physio,path,pharm,micro...u can give ur first read two months...then second one one month...and last month for last read... or mayb u could just do two very thorough reads.....

however..mayb u should consider postponing the eaxm by 15 days or a month...

ps....first aid is ur bible... watever u do...u simply must know fa cold...

hope it helps...
