I took a 2 months subscription for USMLE WORLD, and this is the most important phase of your preparation. I used High yield neuroanatomy (only because I love neuroanatomy) and 100 cases of Ethics by Conrad fischer for my ethics preparation. So, by the end three months you should be finished with one reading of your kaplan books (everything except pathology) once, kaplan videos once, Goljan entire material including Goljan Rapid review book, Goljan Audios, Goljan subtitles and Goljan slides (at least twice). Try to watch kaplan videos at a higher speed (1.7 X), there is no need to watch kaplan videos more than once except for behavioral science for which, the more you watch, the more you learn. This made my reading speed higher, without boring long hours of just studying. I used to watch videos about a topic and then study the same topic from kaplan books. So, it would be Pathology and other subjects turn wise, I ended up finishing all the subjects along with their videos in 3 months. I started with pathology and one more subject together in the beginning, I always used to study pathology everyday along with any other subject as pathology is 70% of the exam. For pathology, you need Goljan Rapid review book, Goljan Audios, Goljan subtitles and Goljan slides. It includes watching Kaplan videos and reading kaplan lecture at the same time every day except for pathology. The pre U world phase is important for students who weren’t in touch with books for a very long time, but this phase rarely has similarities to real exams but you need to do this phase to clear your basic concepts for understanding UWorld. I prefer preparation to be divided into pre U World and post U world phase.
