HI,

I stay in SF as well and also just started studying and since I also have a full time work getting time to study is a big issue for me as well. I am starting with Kaplan notes and actually I have started with Biochem just because its the hardest and then Anatomy, Physiology and then go on. But as Pawan mentioned starting with something you like might help you to build your interest.

If you want any contact email me sf_dia
