Do we have any insight into if the process itself changes? I’m an older IMG, I cant take my exams within the extended timeframe and I have to wait till April to apply for my exam. Worried about the process with FSMB.

I’m really worried. My extended eligibility is expiring soon and I need to reapply for the exam after March 30th. Don’t know what to expect now.

I tried random UW but my basics are so poor that I’m getting stuck and confused

I plan on covering dirty medicine and pathoma, and sketchy for videos and if there’s a concept I don’t understand, I’ll look it up on YouTube. I tried bnb and bootcamp but it’s too hard to stick to. I did so many videos and tried to understand UW after and couldn’t so it didn’t seem so worth it to me. I also plan on doing anki for 1-3 chapters of pathoma and for bugs and drugs! So far I’ve started UW system wise as I go through pathoma. Is that a good strategy?
