It’s not much of a summer vacation. I start 3rd year rotations tomorrow! My school only gave us 5 weeks to study for boards. (hmmm… I wonder why my decently ranked university has such mediocre USMLE scores.)
No post is necessary. Read BRS for physiology, Rapid Review for pathology, and the Kaplan books for everything else. Take three weeks to get through these texts. Then, turn to USMLEWorld and go through every question—all 2000 of them. Do 200 questions a day and you’ll finish in less than 2 weeks. Finally, go through all of the questions that you’ve missed and you should be fine.

Enjoy this summer, brother. It is the last one you will have for many many years.
