Preparation time like 12 months.
Books: FA (my MAIN and most useful book in my test), UWORLD 2016 OFFLINE (trust me you can
use a cronometer instead of uworld online but everybody has their preferences), kaplan just for
genetics and PATHOMA (very good concise book).
TIP: If your basics are quite well, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON KAPLAN.
I started reading FA along with my classes, then when I finished each block (lets say cardio) I used
uworld of cardio only and make notes on FA and so one.
One I had all my important notes from uworld I REREAD a lot of times FA and UWORLD lets say
like 6.
Then I read PATHOMA BOOK, making notes to FA as well.
Again, RE READ FA along with pathoma notes and uworld but don’t be lazy, READ FA WELL!!! IT IS
CLUE.
And again I reread like 4 more times FA and UWORLD AND PATHOMA and so on.
