Or do u think, there are particular topics that is really worth reading from FA? Thanks and GL 
If you master FA, you can answer 80% UW qs.
I realized that FA is written based on both UW and Kaplan.
Good chapter: Emergency, Rapid review, OB
Good luck

Qbook, I think that it is very hard to finish Kap qbank in 2 weeks unless you do qs only without read explanations.

This morning I read lots of posts in which people said they are matched.
This inspired me so much.
I did 1 Ped UW block and scored 93%.
No read explanations

Did another Ped block, scored 80%
Then did the left 26 ped qs, scored 81%.
Cannot score 100% although this is second try, first try uses off-line version.

BTW, I need to thank Robin for asking me to post my progression too. I feel more "pressure" to try to reach my goal everyday. It is a positive one!
Last week when I was very low, my boss sent this to me. "Caterpillar who stays in cocoon will never become butterfly" Just want to share this with everyone.
