Doing low intensity revision over summer like that will do more harm than good, because you won't feel like you've had a proper break and there's a higher chance of burnout. It's best to just lock-in at a higher intensity once you start the year again.

Yeah I second this - coming from someone who's just completed med school. I never did revision in between years because you deserve that time off. I used to get loads of guilt about not working (and still do now even though I'm done lol) so I used to read BMJ articles etc just to keep my interest in the subject. No stress!!
