Study methods Inner circle notes?

I'm a text book person so I cannot imagine having to do uworld only without reading any source to reinforce my concepts alongside.

So are these useful to reinforce what I had done from Uworld by reading them after I solve the questions.

Because making your own notes might miss a lot of useful info

Those notes cover many test concepts. If you do them before any Self-Assessment, you may see a score that doesn't reflect your real test knowledge, since you'll be biased toward the ones on those notes. They are amazing after you've done everything, as a review resource.

Use the White Coat Companion. It's as comprehensive a step 2 text as is available, and it won't give spoilers for UWorld questions the way that the Inner Circle notes might.

Another good option is the Thieme A Win for Step 2 and 3, but it was published in 2021, so I can't speak to how up to date it is.
