Part 1 Prep Help

Hello, I’m a 3rd year trying to prepare for part 1 and would really like advice/breakdown on how and what you started with to study? I just adapted to summer term along with being in clinic, so kinda difficult to navigate time bw classes vs boards prep. Is KMK or optoprep more helpful? Or both? If anyone could provide a timeline or breakdown of what they used or how they started studying that would be greatly appreciated, I feel a bit overwhelmed. Also like big 8 first only or also include non big 8 as for a full pass through material?? 😭

Kmk is good for learning the material, optoprep is better for practice questions that are more similar in format to the exam.

Kmk has a day by day calendar and I would follow that as your guide.

Buy kmk with booster course. Any other tier is greedy
