    • @abdulrsyed
      @abdulrsyed  Рік тому +1

      Do an isolated block on it, on uworld! Like only do biostats questions for at least one or a couple blocks if you can. It’s tedious and draining but you’ll get the hang of it. Also watch dirty medicine’s tips on sensitivity + specificity

  • @medreigns1696
    @medreigns1696 Рік тому +2

    Do you think you should read entire Firs Aid? Or just reading rapid review section+uworld +dirty medicine works well?

    • @abdulrsyed
      @abdulrsyed  Рік тому +1

      I would read parts of it as needed. Definitely first go through the rapid review section + dirty medicine then see how you do on uworld. I also recommend just doing uworld ethics questions and biostats question separately, and once you master them go ahead and do the blocks in random mode you'll save yourself a lot of headache.
      But yeah, you just want to make sure you get the stuff that comes up constantly out of the way then you can focus on the harder parts
