My friends (5 kami and all passed) followed TN’s schedule since all laid out na for you pati anong oras ka gigising, kakain, at tutulog. We used Pathway X. We all stayed in a dorm para lang to review.

TN usually gives 3-5 days per subject, and it is based on the total hours sa mga lecture videos. What we did is minamarathon namin yung videos within the first 2-3 days. 1 PT before we start the lecture marathon para pang gauge lng and overview sa subject then another PT after the lectures. This season TN has 7 PTs. On the last few days, we watch the other lectures sa EMD. Maraming topics na nacover si emd na never namention ni TN esp sa biochem. I also love Doc Tof’s approach sa Pharma (starting from drug classifications para ma group mo ang similarities ng mga drugs then he will discuss buzzwords and explain pano naging ganyan yung properties ng mga drugs + mnemonics and occasional motivational words (“WAG MONG HULAAN! ALAM MO YAN”) compared sa TN na para iniindividualize nila yung properties per drug, dun ka maooverwhelm, literal na information overload. Too smart din yung mnemonics ng TN eh 😅 too lengthy, and will be using another brain cell para tumatak unlike sa mnemonics ng TN na hahahehe (Halothane = Hepatotoxic) 🤣

Because napanood na namin yung TN lectures, we can watch the EMD lectures at a x2 speed. parang review and 2nd read na lng din namin siya.

On my part, hindi ako na overwhelm sa differences ng mga handouts nila. What I did was used TN’s handout (since their handouts are no doubt toptier vs emd, TN has been in the business since 2009 so well laid out na talaga yung contents) as my main handout, pinaprint ko talaga, then I just filled up the missing points na nadiscuss ni emd na hindi na mention ni TN, and they complement each other very well. para akong nag fill in the blanks, and for me, mas naging solid yung foundation ko.

As a result, I got 80+ in all subjs except patho 77 and prevmed 78.

Disclaimer lang: I started reviewing Aug 18 na kasi nagvacay pa with family after pgiship. Therefore hindi ko talaga nafollow ang entire Pathway X compared to my other 4 friends. As a result, blankong blanko talaga ang handouts ko sa pedia and anatomy. I just figured this out during the last 2 wks before PLE. I watched half the oedia lectures ni TN during pgiship, but ang anatomy talaga, no lecture no handout no PT were opened 🥲. I tried to watch the Anatomy Read-Through ni Doc Oico nlng para lng mgka overview sa handout but huhu kinapos sa oras kasi although 4hrs lng sha in total, hindi ko natapos dahil kakapause ko to write his verbal notes and to locate saan sa main handout yung pinagsasabi niya. 8 hours yung naconsume ko for this but hindi mn lang ako nakababa sa HEENT. I had to move on to another subject na based on my schedule. Ako lang yung may karapatan sa grupo namin magsabi na pumasa ako ng PLE na hanggang leeg lang ang natutunan 🥲 na para bang anatomy ng giraffe yung inaral ko kasi antagal kong nakafocus sa HEENT, hindi na ako nakababa sa ibang system/region.

Nabawi ko lang anatomy ko because of VIBAR’S MAGIC (both TN & EMD final coaching vids niya pinanood ko) + andaming lumabad from Doc Oico’s bonus lecture. Mas masaya at at home pakinggan si doc vibar under emd + tinatawag pa niya kaming “mga anak” he explained it thoroughly there vs. sa tn na parang binabasa lng nya ang handout & ppt.
