Goljian audio (3 rounds in my car)
Goljian HY (1 round) worth it

Ethics for the boards (2 rounds with the Qs) ..the best book i read..I love it... (conrad fisher's book)..the best for this topic
And last..but most important...ANKI...the best active way to learn and/or recall all the disciplines..between 3 and 6 hrs a day...15000 cards..I finished with 50% mature cards (more than 1 round. .probable 1 and a half) WORTH IT..BELIEVE ME...THANK ME LATER...
STUDY lapse..15 months
Every day between 5-6 and 11pm and the weekend 10 am 10 pm..the last month ....16 hrs a day.
I work as a ultrasound tech (full time) and I do on calls the weekend to... (a lot of time I stop studying because work..but I live alone in this country and life here in USA and study at he same time ..its expensive...so sadly some times the work comes first. .If don't. ..you will end up sleeping on a bench in the park...
A lot of people (girlfriend and friends) support me big deal, in this battle always a little push make the difference, believe me...this is a marathon, not an a sprint....
I'm happy with this score.
I wish all of you all the best...
I'll see you all on the other side.
Ps: I'm sorry the spelling...the english language is not my strength
Don't hesitate any Qs (except the test content of course

MRCS PART A – EXPERIENCE

DURATION OF STUDY – 3.5-4 months (with work )  Pattern of study  Paper 1 ( Basic sciences )  Anatomy – Emrcs with NASA khan notes ( best part about these notes are he copied all the colourful pics from Snell’s anatomy along with emrcs theory ) .
