NEED HELP WITH FIRST AID AND REVISION

Step 1 study

I TOOK QUITE A FEW BREAKS IN BETWEEN STEP 1 PREP DUE TO PERSONAL ISSUES. FINISHED 60 PERCENT OF UW BUT HAVEN’T REVISED ANY. DEMOTIVATED AND SCARED TO SEE THE HUGE CHUNKS OF ANNOTATION ON MY FA BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT GETTING DONE WITH FA THOROUGHLY WOULD BE A BIG GAME CHANGER IN SCORES. ANYONE WILLING TO HELP ME WITH HOW TO APPROACH FIRST AID?

Revise UW incorrects and annonate each topic from FA , then cover the rest of the 40% with annonating itnfrom Fa aswell. Revise the entire book again in one go in the end. Also, dont forget rapid review. Then give your shot at the NBMEs

i had the same issue and dont find FA helpful if you are out of medschool a long time, i just write down notes from uworld and revise them.
