quick ?

when you people do UW, do 'yyou find that info in your FA? i personally barely do.

alot of people say FA can be more than enough to pass. well, wouldnt that mean that FA info would be enough to pass on a UW question bank?!

do you just add in the missing info, or use another source to add in the missing info.

HELP.

I mainly use UW and FA + Goljan audio and I barely PASS.
And you are asking about only using FA for the test.confused
is that is the case, NO it will not be enough for the test

Well Guys the main point is stressed by Goljan a lot. HOW no book tells u enuf on HOW except Goljan and sometimes FA. wht i faced in my exm was that If u know the HOW ten u can easily answer the Question.

I don't know about the poll, but this exam has no short cuts. You have to know your stuff. While FA is a great AID in memorisation it does nothing to build your concepts. Kaplan lecture notes, Goljan and text books is what you need for that.

A lot of points can be scored by using FA alone. But I wouldn't risk gambling my entire performance on one prep-aid book alone.
