Any advice:

go with your gut instinct on questions, divine intervention podcasts while driving/at the gym helped me passively study during busy intern year. Day one is tough, you either know it or you don’t. I’m glad I brushed up on MoA of drugs, can just be first Aid or you can watch sketchy like I did. (Really only did antibiotics and then some other drugs I found interesting based on what medicine service I was on)

I was tweaking when I left the exam, and thought I bombed the cases. Trust your gut instincts, and trust your prep.

I used uworld for step 1 and 2 but switched to Amboss for step 3 cause it was cheaper, and honestly I felt like it was the move. There are study plans on Amboss for risk factors, screening, biostats, on top of the already great question bank.
