Can I Pass Without Cardio, Neuro & 700 Med Qs?

My exam is on October 21. I started studying about two months ago, but unfortunately, I’ve only completed around 1,000 UWorld questions so far.
Time is getting tight, and from what I’ve heard, Pediatrics, OBGYN, Psychiatry,ethics and Public Health are some of the highest-yield areas.
My current plan is:
Spend one full month focusing on OBGYN + Psychiatry
Spend the remaining ~20 days on Toronto Notes, mainly the important chapters such as Ethics and Public Health, rather than trying to read the entire book
Complete the CMPA material
Do the 9 practice tests
Hopefully have enough time to do some Ethics questions from AMBOSS
I don’t find reading Toronto Notes very efficient for me. It’s dense and complicated, and I feel like I forget a lot of what I read the next day. I feel like doing questions is much more useful for retention.
The main concern is that I will be going into the exam without properly studying Cardiology, Neurology, and around 700 Medicine questions.
I’m currently studying full-time, but realistically I can’t do more than ~40 questions per day. I really want to get this exam done because I’m hoping to start working soon, and I don’t think I’ll be able to study effectively once I have a job.
Do you think it’s reasonable to sit the exam with Cardio, Neuro, and a significant portion of Medicine still relatively untouched?
Would you stick with my current plan and prioritize high-yield topics, or would you change the strategy and try to cover the remaining Medicine/Cardio/Neuro questions before the exam?
I’d really appreciate honest advice from anyone who has recently taken the exam or has been in a similar situation.

Need Advice on UWorld Strategy

I’m studying from UWorld, and my exam is on October 21.
Given my limited time, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish all 1,400 UWorld questions. So far, I’ve finished Gastro, Endo, and Renal, and I’ve done some Pulmonary as well.
Since time is tight, I’m planning to focus mainly on Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Ethics. I’m also going to finish Surgery, and I only have 311 questions left in Surgery.
What do you recommend I do? Should I focus on these subjects and try to finish them well, or is there a better strategy you would suggest?

May I start with Anki?

Is it okay if I create a test on UWorld, then exit and get the question numbers so I can study their corresponding Anki cards first? On busy days, Anki is easier and faster, and it doesn’t require as much focus as answering UWorld questions. Then I’ll go back to the test and solve the questions. I think this would also save time while studying UWorld.

Best way to review for Uworld ?

Hi everyone,
I’m curious about how you review for Uworld
Do you go through all of UWorld as a first pass without much review, and then do a second pass with more detailed revision? Or do you review each block thoroughly before moving on?
I’d really appreciate it if you could share your study workflow, what worked best for you, and what you’d do differently if you were starting over.
Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice!

Public health
Ethics
Family medicine
Geriatric
Palliative
Epidemiology

It is around 200 full pages i think it’s harder than uworld and i will forget it within a week
