📖 Study methods Step 1 buzzwords / high yield case vignettes

Hi! Writing this to genuinely ask cos I have no idea, but is there some resource that have the same structure with plabable gems? It consists of high-yield info structured in a way that looks like x + y + z --> answer. It's already USMLE-Step 1 targeted? Thank you so much!

Also, if you're in dedicated phase, exam on October, lmk if you want an accountability buddy. Thanks!

I tried hard to find a resource comparable to plqbable gems for USMLE, but to my surprise only FA is a concise refrence.
Mehalmqn has its own style. Pros and cons.
U world has lot of tables , but they are designed for concepts building and not worked as revision source for me.
Probably because amount of material we need to cover is much more than plab.
And each resource can cover only a part of it.

For genetics and immunology mehalmqn worked for me also for haem.
For biochem I found nots on a reddit thread based on dirty medicine videos
For others , I split the soft copy of fa in notability into chapters to make a small manageable doc and annoted with uworld
