I'll kick this one off. Here's the list of books/resources I plan on studying from:
1) Kaplan USMLE Step I series.
2) Dr. Edward Goljaan Pathology lectures (audio). Thankfully, I've heard the complete series about 3 times while driving my car so this shouldn't be too bad. These lectures are awesome and I recommend them to everybody. But fyi, they are definitely time consuming.
3) Rapid review Patho by Goljaan
4) High yield 100 page notes by Goljaan
5) I might substitute the Kaplan anatomy for High Yield anatomy only because I heard its its better from several sources. I'll have to skim them both out for myself and then make a judgement call and stick with whats better.
6) Kaplan USMLE Step I video lectures- Im pretty sure I'm only going to do the physio and biochem ones. I watched some during our 4th year days back in the library in Kemari and although they are good, but they are freaking LONG! It's going to be extremely time consuming to try to watch all the videos so I think i'm going to stick with what I suck at (which is biochem and a little bit of pharma), and with what i need to base my concepts on (physio). My roommate who is an AKU grad has been watching all the videos at 2x speed and he says that its better that way. So thats something to experiment with if interested.
7) First Aid- Step I. Also known as FA. I've heard that this is THE BOOK. Apparently it doesn't get any more high yield than this. I'm gunna try to memorize this cover to cover.
8) Online USMLE world questions. Also known as Uworld.
And thats pretty much it. I'll refer to BRS if I don't understand something or maybe even back to the reference books if needed. I'm planning on studying for 5 months, 6 if needed.
Lemme know what you guys think and if you have any recommendations.
