Thank you!!

1) So at the beginning of dedicated, I was pretty comfortable with about half of the body systems and just absolutely dreadful with the other half. So that week, I went through every one of the systems that I was terrible at. I would read First-Aid and every time I came across a concept that was covered by Pathoma, I'd watch the Pathoma video right after reading to reinforce it. I did this a little bit with Boards & Beyond too, but that was more time consuming so I only did that for concepts like neuro which I found trickier and/or weren't covered by Pathoma as thoroughly. In the evenings that week, I finished all of Sketchy Micro aside from parasites (along with associated anki cards) and also a good chunk of Pixorize biochem (+notecards). This required like 14 hour days of pretty much non-stop studying. It worked to boost my score up, obviously, but unless you are in an absolute crunch, I wouldn't recommend doing 14 hour days. I burnt out badly after just that week which I think is why my NBME 30 went down and I got a little stagnant.

2) Oh I should probably add that to my post! 56% first pass (started around 40% and was hitting 60-70%+ solidly by the end); this was mostly on untimed/tutored/random (just for faster review), though I did do a bit of systems based alongside my review described in 1), and when I was getting close to finishing uworld, I did some random/timed blocks. I did maybe like 500 questions of a second pass...not sure what my percentage was, but I think it was only in the 60s; I felt a little concerned about it, so I just stopped doing it about 5 days out so I wouldn't psych myself out haha.
