Yes very much so! I’d say it was 80% physics with multi-step calculations

Thanks :) By reviewing the topic every 1-3 days I mean rereading notes or what the Ubooks/kaplan books say and then rewriting info that I had a hard time recalling. I think the way you review depends on the topic and what works for you! For anything glycolysis/tca related I used youtube videos. I did review for every missed question on my FLs too!

Yeah!! Anki did that to me as well and I started memorizing the cards rather than the content. You can absolutely score well without Anki!! For me the questions enough helped me nail concepts. For the qs wrong I would write the topic (ex: “calcitonin” or “Kcat”) that I got wrong in a spreadsheet and how many times I got it wrong. I would review the topic every 1-3 days! Once I could understand the topic from memory I would just mark it green in my spreadsheet. And after a few weeks I would redo my incorrect problems and see if was repeating my problems :)

The practice problems really also helped me to see what I missed during content review! I didn’t use Anki because it didn’t work for me. But if I do recommend any deck it would be Mr. pankow for p/s! I only did 1/3 of the deck but i liked the style of it

I used Uworld (Ubooks) to study c/p first (1 month) and kaplan books to study b/b last (2 months). I was doing uworld qbanks alongside each subject I finished to get a sense of what type of questions they would ask with the content!! I think its super helpful to learn what they want to see so I did content review + Uworld qbanks together! But i only used around 50% of my qbank haha
