Study at your own pace kung kaya. Don't study to the point of burnout. You need an active and alert mind to learn and recall, so if you're tired and distracted, allot adequate time to rest.

-Finish the main materials first then samplex/practice test talaga. Mahaba ang 4 months, may oras kayo, promise.
-Tapusin muna ang internship. Kaya yan. Wag ma-stress.
-Sagutan at least yung latest samplex (so yung Oct 2022 haha) para may feel of the questions. Answer them on your own para mapilitan ka maghanap sa references/tumatak sa utak ang concepts.
-Sa PLE weeks, samplex gaming is key.
-Sa exam mismo, huwag magdala ng kahit anong reviewer/review material or ipad/laptop.
-HUWAG mag review sa banyo. Mahuhuli and ma-i-incident report kayo and your results can get withheld. Sanay sila dito, madaming nahuli.
-Keep all your last-minute flashcards/review stuff on your PHONE ONLY and yan lang ang dalhin mo sa exam days. You surrender your gadgets during the day, yes, but many forgot to surrender other gadgets (eg. iPads, laptops) and there are spot inspections. Again, your results can get withheld.

Before going in depth with the subjects or even looking at other extra references, study the basics of each subject by heart—the things you think are naturally must-knows, study them and commit them to memory. These are the types of items na sayang if you forgot because these are technically give aways. The exams like Pharma, Biochem, for example, gave out several questions that are basic but easily forgettable. Sayang talaga if you miss these.
While you study, mark the must-knows para you know which topics to focus on pag clutch na. Screenshot them. Or write summary notes. Trust me, it's very difficult to go over the whole material pag days before PLE nalang.
Personally, the Topnotch materials are enough to get you a relatively high grade in the PLE. Finish these first before studying the books if kulang sa time. And as much as some questions from samplexes do appear, it is unpredictable. There are so many samplexes and quizlets out there and it is simply impossible to know which one could be the source. Answer them, because they will help you review and retain knowledge, but NEVER rely on them solely.
Again, DO NOT DISCOUNT THE BASICS.
You can do it!

A great place to start is Sketchy Micro. Out boards was very local based. Previous trends were organisms that were weird and international, not even in the Philippines. Now a lot of local organisms

Pathology for our year was wild. During internship can start by watching the Pathoma videos, this will give you a good internal structure for the future TopNotch review (if you choose to go to TopNotch)

If you can start during internship all the better. Study now not for the sake of memorizing, but for the sake of having some foundation in your mind so that when review season comes the information is easier to integrate.

We're unsure from this point on if the reference for the boards will be Williams or Blueprints. You can use Blueprints to learn the theoreticals quickly, then when your boards season comes listen for tips on where you can get the numbers.
