my experience
my study duration was 7 months not all of them is hard work but the last 3 months were with more concentration
I used kaplan notes or book in all subjects in addition to FA in last weeks
regarding the sources kaplan is good and enough and i see that you do not need to look for many sources as this distract you
the exam is not measuring your amount of information but more measure if you understand the information and how to apply it to clinical case
for example i had 4 or 5 qs on ADH and 3 or 4 regarding aldosterone.
so focus one one source of reading.
i used the dvds which is very important espec. in bio,physio, micro + immuno
after finishing the 1st read which took 3 mon. i think is long period but cause i have some difficulty in bio+physio, so i listen to their dvds for 2nd time
during the 2nd read, i solve kaplan q book after each subject. q book is not so important but i recommend it as transition befor UW.
the 2nd read took 2 months.
then i start UW along with 3rd read. uw is very very important,
i should start FA with the 3rd read but i did not as i have some conflict to use it or not
but it really great especially in pharma, micro and physio
so you should use it early after you finish each subject, this makes information stick in your head
i finished UW in 1 month
in the last month i did a rapid read for high yield topic+ FA
i depend on FA in pharma and micro in this period
i took nbme 2 and got 540/228
it near to actual exam,even 2 blocks was easier than nbme 3
note: do not apply the duration of my read on yourself as bio,molecular biology, micro and immmuno courses was weak during my college.
