webgenius congrats ! looks you aced the exam! I remember one of your earlier post when you had completed 2000 qs of usmlerx that after completing 2000 questions of usmlerx you understood FA waydeeprer level than before starting it. So how was your level of understanding after you finished usmlerx? how did repetition help you ? did you revise rx and uworld again and again?
thank you
usmlerx is the only Qbank I advice people to annotate everything from it to FA cuz simply it's just FA advanced
the other Qbanks esp usmleworld I think the educational objective is more than enough
usmlerx tests knowledge
usmleworld tests knowledge & judgement
when you're choosing an answer you either choose it by knowledge directly or by elimination of other choices and judgement
I didn't repeat any Qbank ... I did them only once
btw even if you memorized the whole usmleworld when you do the UW self assessment you will realize that you can't ace this test by just memorizing information ... The number of possible Qs is endless ... Dude even if you were allowed to use the internet during the exam you won't solve everything ... Your score might even be lower lol
I mean repeat FA as much as you can
don't repeat each chapter alone it's useless
you have to read it cover to cover
some of the information in earlier chapters are only clear after you read the latter chapters
read other books but don't sweat on them
if they asked you a question out of FA it will be most probably out of other books too, or too easy or obscure info that you won't answer unless you memorized the book which is impossible
Firecracker too was nice
I read each corresponding section with FA and annotated to FA
goljan looks nice too but use it to understand the stuff better not to add more information
