My thoughts: From SEM 1 to COMP pass

Do NOT study from first aid.

First Aid is a review book, which means it does not cover all background knowledge bc the authors assume you know it. That's what makes it "high yield".
Don't buy one until the end of Sem 3x or Sem 4 to use for COMP study.

Do NOT use the term High Yield

Every day I heard "ohh that is so High Yield" or "need to know that it's High Yield"
Trust me you don't know what is "high yield" until you're studying for STEP. Assume every thing on lecture slides is high yield and you'll get higher exam scores.

Use a Timer when studying

Put one on your computer or use your phone.
Set it for 10 hours, 12 hours, whatever you decide to study that day.
Let it run when you're studying.
Stop it when you're wasting time like when you're on Facebook, iMessage, taking a break, etc.
You'll see someone in the library on Facebook/iMessage for 30 minutes, study for 30 minutes and when you ask them how much they studied they'll say "I studied for 1 hour"
Like the gym, simply sitting their will not get you into shape, so when you're in the library treat it like your work space and study.

QBanks

WebPath: use this for regular exam assessment, the exam q's may or may not be like these questions but its a good way to find knowledge gaps
Goljan qbank: see Webpath
Robbins q's: see Webpath
UsmleRx: use this for NBME exams, do all topics for these exams bc there will be anatomy/physio/Bchm q's on the exams not just Pathology and Pharm
Becker qbank: use this for the 2 week COMP study time
UWorld: use this for STEP study

Rossip

If you're the listener: pretend to listen not to be rude but walk away not remembering anything they said.
If you're the talker: please stop, there's no Ross conspiracy to fail students or Professors making sure X amt of students repeat.

Partying and Drinking

Save it for breaks. You're on an island with no fun bars and beer tastes terrible.

That's all I got so far.
