I hate reading FA, cannot for the life of me read one page without losing concentration. Ryan explains things very well, and ties in concepts that would otherwise be lost by just reading FA. I am currently in dedicated and using B&B and love it! I think Dr. I realize my plan is a bit unusual by most standards so I'm reluctant to recommend doing it just like I did but it did work for me and so I'm putting it out there.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GO THROUGH KAPLAN VIDEOS STEP 1 PDF
I also downloaded all the PDF lecture notes which aren't in great format but was helpful for recall later in the period. TBH I did benefit significantly from that but I don't regret that I didn't do more Anki. I did not use Anki either except towards the end of my dedicated for a few isolated groups of diseases (glycogen storage diseases, commonly tested biochemistry-related diseases). I did not take any notes to speak of, although I did copy the B&B ID flowcharts and a couple of similar things on paper to commit to memory, which worked well. I also took a couple of days to sample how much I could watch in a day and made a realistic plan of how long it would take me to watch all the videos and kept track of how far along I was. However, I'd say my average productivity was better - easier to maintain - when watching videos than when reading or doing Uworld quizzes. I'm not the world's most productive person to be honest often that meant 5 hours of productiveness/video watching in an "8 hour" day. I kept track of my productive hours during each day and ended up taking about an hour per hour of video. I watched every single video except for biostats (my strongest subject), mostly on 1.5-1.7x speed but I ended up rewinding every now and then. I had a dedicated period of about 10 weeks and all in all spent 4 weeks on B&B in the first half of dedicated. I used Boards and Beyond almost entirely instead of FA. Grade-wise I've generally been an average student in my class until Step 1.
I'm a European IMG and I had a 10 week dedicated period.
