from the exam experiences i ve read it seems to be grreat. from my own, try doing the clinical vignettes section first and then read over the initial basic principles as revision. the dvd isnt that great..almost word by word for clinical vignettes.

yes it is like dr pastana is reading from book..but vignettes r good also uw is covering it nicely..i think for me its enough..cuz when i did the diagnostic test at kaplan i got very very low % in surgery but after kaplan notes n lecture i improved pretty good...still everyone have their own opinions u should do whatever satisfy u..good lucksmiling face

thanks. it is reassuring to hear other people's opinion. i'll register for UW and that will help to assess my knowledge. i just need to make up my mind either to go for 60days or 30 days.
