After reading Goljan, i started reading FA for the second time, during this time i started doing old NBMEs and also I bought the FA-rx Qbank, and i think it was really important for me, i watched videos from FA-rx and they were really helpful, i highly recommend watching this videos, especially if you have low knowledge of the basic concepts. After first reading of FA i started reading Goljan pathology, because i was thinking that the exam consists mostly of pathology and it is very hard, but this is not true, most pathology concepts are pretty easy and you will learn most of them from reading FA and doing Uworld, in my opinion reading Goljan pathology is the waste of time and you can just look to some chapters in it, in which you think you are weak. When i start reading FA 1st time, i began watching pathoma videos, and i found them really helpful, i was driving to my university and watching this videos on the background ( i was just listening them mostly).

After caplan notes i started reading FA, everybody knows that it is the basic book for prepairing, the same was for me. I started my preparation with Kaplan lecture notes, i have read them all for 1 time and it took for me about 4 months, but i read pharmacology for the second time after i finished reading FA first time ( i had really bad concepts in pharmacology). I took my exam on 28th august 2018 and got my result after about 3 weeks on 19 september.
