As for me, I first took a pretest w/ Saunders and it generated a study plan for me, for 1.5 mos. Based on my performance, it lets me study first my weak points w/c is pedia. And then, I arranged my schedule based on the study plan, and tried to cover it all up. Answer questions at least 25-50 a day, and review all the rationales (whether you got it right or wrong). I also made flashcards of what I think I'll be needing more focus, esp the lab values, etc. And once I'm done w/ one topic, like for example, Cardio, I will go through the Pharm section of Cardio too, I will also answer the 100 exam in Saunders CD, then go staight to LaCharity's PDA, until I finished Saunders along w/ PDA. :) You can also look for others tips/suggestions here in AN, and see what will work for you. It's like trial and error. Good luck in your studies.
thank you
