Figuring out exactly what to study is probably the most difficult task in medical school. There are 1,000's of pages of books, another 1,000 pages of handouts and slides plus 100's of pages of summary material. Then there is the internet with Wikipedia, Youtube and tons of other useful sites. Oh, and there are lectures and labs too! There just aren't enough hours in the day to cover it all. So, I try to figure out which ones are the most useful to get an understanding of the material.
Thus far, I have found that there are a couple of books that cover all of a particular subject, like Robbin's for Pathology but some subjects require a careful reading of the powerpoints produced by the instructor.
It seems like I get this sorted out just before for the exam. Then I have a couple of days to cram it all in!
