I've heard that reading a lot helps with CARS, especially reading complex passages like articles. My question is, what resources do you use? What websites or news articles do you read? If you use books, what books? This isn't as much about what resources like UWorld but more about getting used to reading CARS-difficulty passages.

Just curious how everyone does a gap year. Do you guys pursue a masters or phd? Do you get a job? Work on ECs? How do you even keep working on ECs? What do you do for money?

Even more important: when do you decide to draw the line and accept that you are not getting into medical school? How many years?
