## Summary

A fixed list of five consolidation resources for the last fortnight before Step 1, on the principle that you do not learn new content in the final two weeks — you consolidate with active recall. Covers the Randy Neil high-yield PDF, Mehlman's 160 High-Yield Arrows concepts, the NBME Booster Anki decks for forms 20 to 33, a 90-minute high-yield antimicrobials video, and a high-yield biostats PDF with workbook. Both PDFs also live in the app under University → Files.

## Key facts

- Randy Neil High-Yield PDF: two to three days maximum
- Mehlman High-Yield Arrows: 160 concepts, 40 a night finishes in four days
- NBME Booster Anki decks cover forms 20 to 33, broken down system by system; only run decks for forms already sat
- High-Yield Antimicrobials video covers all of it in 90 minutes
- Biostats is described as three easy points; students report at least 10 points off the antimicrobials and biostats pair alone
- Both PDFs are in the app under University → Files
