In the last 2 weeks, I read 80% of First Aid (simple reading!), and I decided to take the risk and do the exam (although I didnt finish what I had in my plan!)

USMLE exam (238)

USMLEworld (20%): I read it the same way I did with Kaplan e.g.each system from First Aid (and my notes on it), when I finish the system, I go and do Questions in the same system (systemic - tutor - untimed) [as you can see, Ive not started timed mode till this point, I believed that I need to explore and try different question techniques,

thats why I preferred to take my time with questions ]

Kaplan Qbank (75%): I decided to read each system separately from First Aid (and the notes I wrote from Kaplan), when I finish the system, I go and do Questions in the same system (systemic - tutor - untimed) [starting with tutor untimed mode helped me a lot to build question solving techniques, people kept saying for me do mixed timed!, but I kept saying NO! I need some time at the beginning to build such

techniques! and I never regretted that! ;) ]

Kaplan Lecture Notes + First Aid: I started by reading Kaplan Lecture Notes [I finished 50% of Kaplan Videos with my readings, I used to watch Kaplan videos according to my needs! selectively! ]

When I finish a topic from Kaplan Notes, I go and read the same topic from First Aid [I used to write a lot of concise smart notes from Kaplan to explain First Aid during this round!] (I realized by end of my preparation that I didnt need a lot of notes, because the same concepts kept appearing again and again with Questions and further readings)

USMLEworld (90%): I continued USMLEworld the same way (and since I was in hurry, because I wanna attend my brothers wedding in Saudi Arabia, I decided to do the

exam!)
