Good begining is FA, no doubt!!

first read FA then take UW subscription - Practice is the key. You cant do everything in 15 minutes. So timed practice is key regardless of your book source.

I was in LA center and only FMG to give exam. All AMG had FA only . So let me tell you UW is a bonus after you master the FA cases. FA is gold standard.


The Link for examination video given by prep4usmle.These videos are better than Usmleworld. THEy dont have mistakes.

Hi,

I started with UW cases first , saw the videos for examination methods. I did 8 cases per day from UW,took print outs of the cases, then read the same cases from FA and made notes of anything extra. Then in the evening practiced the cases with my husband . Made notes of D/D, Investigations to order and any specific examination / counselling points. This helped me in the end to revise the cases as knowing the D/D by heart is very important.

Only practice, practice and practice is very very important and keep improving on any shortcomings.Believe me the mistakes/ points I forgot till the very end were the ones I forgot in the real exam too.

Hope this helps

GL
