Kaplan Qbank USMLE

hi,..
i know this qusetion must be asked a million and one times, but i really dont have time to search through all these posts- i hope you understand!

it is mid may, and i am planning on writing the exam in october. i have gone through, each kiaplan 2001 book once, with lectures, and first aid, and goljan audio once.
unfortuntaely, i am so stressed, when i look at the material a second time now, it seems foreign:S.

so lets imagine i am doing it all for the first tim enow..



this was my time line....

10 days for each subject. i will do kaplan book/audio for each, with first aid, and high yield if needed. at the end of eafch subject i will do all the qbank questions pertaining to it- i have old qbank questons i duno if it makes a diff ifi buy the new 2007 ones (if so, does anyone have them that i can make a copy from-my budget is reli really tight):S

after i have done every subject ( 2 months total time)... i will sit down and listen to every single kaplan lecture, about 8 hours a day. for one month. after that, the last month is just qbank, first aid.


how does that sound?!

so resources are...

first aid 2004/2006
kaplan books (2001)
kaplan qbook (2001)
qbank (2002)
goljan (2004) audio/notes/book/etc
high yield (for every subject)
pass program ---- if i have time



please tell me if it is possible to do well in 4 months. and if anyone has a better study scfhedule. i am aiming for 10 hours a day.

thanks for replying.
wow u did all of the kaplan books in one month, how is that remotely possible?:O

do you still have any questions from uw?

  #4

you shall have to purchase UW online.i got it for a month and it cost me $60.

  #5

why would you want to go through all the lectures again?! in the end, what you memorise matters right? not what goes in one ear and out the other!
