Anything you can watch or hear passively, and flashcards you can tap through on your phone. Step 1: Mehlman videos first, then our Anki for your phase (the FA Foundation Anki for the system you're on, or the NBME Booster Anki in your NBME phase), then Divine Intervention episodes and Neil Randy's playlists with his PDF. Step 2 CK: AJmonics, the Step 2 CK NBME Booster Anki, Mehlman's clinical playlists, Divine's last-month episodes, Dr. High Yield and Action Potential. All of them are high yield.
