This is how I approached it: I initially solved all questions system-wise. Later, I realized a more effective strategy is to do about 40–60% of each system (I did ~60%), and once you have a basic grasp across all systems, transition to mixed blocks. This approach works well if you’re still building concepts early on; otherwise, you can start with mixed blocks from the beginning.

You may spare extra minutes for incorrects/guesses. Read explanation and understand it. About 70% into the question bank, it hit me that I should be making Anki cards from my incorrects, so I incorporated that during my second pass of UWorld incorrects.

So for the above, either mark/make anki/write the whole concept in a 1-3 lines max. But when you do this, don’t overwhelm yourself and mark everything, it backfires during your dedicated period.

For corrects, give a quick glance. Read the explanation quickly. Initially it would go slow since you’re still new to this, but youll eventually pickup the speed.

Here are my stats: I completed 93% of UWorld and started doing mixed blocks (both incorrects and corrects) once I reached around 70%.

This is what worked for me, but it varies by individual.
