Hello every and specially those who already took the exam
Is FA enough for Microbiology, Pharmacology and Biochemistry.
I studied Pathology and Physiology from Kaplan, FA and questions.
But I read by some people that took the test and past with "99" that they only studied Micro, Pharma and Biochemistry from FA...
Im confused coz I dont have enough time. My exam is On august and i still need to review anatomy, micro and behavior.

Hey man realx,you know what ,you really have time. do not panic read FA, or other sources if you hve graduared long time ago but if you just graduate FA probable will be enough. Someones said if you master FA you will do fine so try that. FA it is a good book but you have time to get into other matters.Remmember is better to know ONE BOOK that try to read a lot.MASTER FA.

Mimo,

Relax! You still got plenty of time to review. I am having the same problem with biochemistry. for some reason my brain cannot pick anything well. I am able to read fast and cover a lot of the material and still get enought time to go back and review and I am only picking up very little. I read FA already yes iti is very clear but if you graduated long time ago it's not enough. What book are you using? Use a book that works well with you even if it's not very popular. Some books may for some some may not for you. I am reviewing BRS Biochemistry. Who knows I might learn better from Lippincott's Biochemistry or you cantry the new one from Goljan. He is known for being able to explain very clearly maybe there's your solution. Do not Loose hope! If you are too stressed out about it, take a couple days off and relax. You might approach biochemistry differently afterwards. Visit a book store where they might have most of the medical books and page throught some of the biochemistry books. I am very good at learning other subjects but biochemistry for some reason I am having a hard time with it. Maybe someone here might have an interesting strategy on how to study it, does anyone would like to share their method for reviewing Biochemistry?

If necessary review another subject and then come back to biochemistry. How about Micro or Anatomy.

Sincerely,
Enrique

i'm doing biochem now using high yield. that's the recommended book among students at my school. it's only 100pp. long. when i finish, i plan to consolidate the important stuff with FA and qbank.

you could probably read HY to comprehend, but not memorize, then consolidate the imp. stuff with FA and hope the minor details will be tested minimally. HY shouldn't take more than 2 days TOPS.

good luck!

Thank you guys..
everyone of you...
what I did was listen again webprep with my five sense on it and did questions...
I think I improve a little bit on my performance...but not the maximun what is what i wanted...
Right now Im studying Immunology from Webprep and kaplan book and Im so excited...im almost finishing the first review, and it took me one day...
Maybe is because I like it...
After it ill go with microbiology webprep and kaplan books and then FA.
WIth behavior webprep and kaplan...and fa
anatomy...webprep, kaplan, hy and fa...
and then start the second review!!...
wish me luck ...
i wish you luck to everyone and each one of you...and god bless you
