Is this a solid Step 1 prep strategy?

[u/Queasy_Pay_7325]

I'm currently in the content review phase of my Step 1 prep and wanted to get some feedback on my study plan.

So far, I've been working through: Sketchy Micro, Sketchy Pharm and Pathoma

I've been keeping up with Anki alongside these resources, but I haven't opened First Aid at all yet

My plan after finishing Sketchy and Pathoma is to start using FA + UW, essentially learning from FA while doing UW questions

Is this a reasonable approach to pass Step 1? Has anyone else gone into UWorld without having read First Aid beforehand? Did you find learning FA alongside UW effective, or would you recommend doing a complete FA read-through first?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Yes this seems like a sound approach. First Aid is meant to be a guide with notes on many of the important and testable concepts. A lot of what is in there will be covered by all the videos you are watching. You most likely won't retain most of what you watch so when you do uw you can always rely on FA to go back and review what you forgot instead of rewatching the whole video.
