We know almost everyone of the past test takers recommends FA and some even claim that everything is in there and if you know it cold you can make a good score!
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: (actually all - the more the merrier! isnt it?)
1. Anyone who is using First Aid for their prep (any stage of prep 1st read, 2nd or nth read). Latest edition 2008 would be good but older editions- 'No worries'. can join too!
You should do minimum 5 pages per day for the 5 a day Club folks (Ready?: ) and Report here! - simple isnt it !
2. Anyone who has/had added extra points/notes to their First Aid (from Kaplan or any other source that they find missing in FA but are Hi yield and/or tested in Uworld/Kaplan Q bank).
3. The minimum you have to do is 5 pages (probably an hour of your time ( the no. of pages is your choice!) along with whatever you are studying according to your study plan (an hour may be a lot for some sections of FA and maybe less for other sections- so this is an average- depends on indiviudal's retaining power too, right?
WHEN YOU PUT YOUR ENTRY INTO THIS THREAD PLEASE FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING FORMAT (suggestions welcome )
1. FA edition
2. Pages read (eg. 301-305)
3. Extra points- (Topic/Subheading - Page No. )
4. Mnemonic - yours if any different than FA
If you join the 5 a day CLUB make a promise you will report EVERYDAY - NO EXCUSES!
Let's get started folks on FA for Step1 ..ONLY YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT !
Disclaimer: Whoever reports any mneumonic or extra tips in this thread is not under any obligation to liable for the information given. Please check the tips and mneumonics with standard text books or Kaplan and use them after you have verified them! Good luck everybody!
