Yes its been a hard time to go through this stuff.
I ant to ask you ,have you used kaplan only for anatomy.I have high yield for neuroantomy.I have read it once but now not feeling like touching it! :wink:
Even i didnt like this subject....like only the surgical relevance!
So my question is .....is kaplan enough?
I am an IMG....dont have any other stuff with me to study.I have aleady invested los in the kaplan webprep course,qbank....things!
I dont have my undergraduate books with me!
But have Grey's anatomy.....but it is such a big one ,i dont dare to go bac into it!
Are there any subject books in bookstores like Barnes&Noble or Borders???
Namf ,do you have any idea?
I have read in your posts that you used tosit in bookstores for studies initially.

Good morning everybody!!!
So i am still stuck with neuroanatomy!its boring!i was not feeling to wake up to read this damn subject.But cant do that.....i dont want to miss a single one there!
Remember your aim Josh......so keep going,you can do that!You did it in your first year medical from the thickest book like Grey's.So no sweat!Its just small kaplan book,and small high yield!!!
Hey can anybody sggest me something.Will revision of the qbank will be good?I almost finished it up.But if i will do it again ,will the score will be biased?ofcoure yes!!!
so any suggestion?
i am planning to take nbme 1 at the end of this week.I know it will be a good idea about my score.and 2nd form i will take 15 days before the exam.what do you say?namf,nuprin,ahdy,jsmart,retroviridae,aish,docarjun,ELM.......any commenets?
I have read people saying you should get steady 70's to 80's in qbank.If i am doing it 2nd time and getting it,is it ok?

thursday
7/29/2004
Good morning all!
well how i did till the mid of the week?????
:icon_scratch:
Anatomy--was a big boring as always.Read kaplan notes once.Did questions in qbook.Yesterday was a big frustating day.I did Goljan listening for 3-4 hrs ,thats it!And then did 2 blocks in NMS.I was getting 65%there.Nowadays i am just wondering about new books.At this time this is not good.
Yesterday i got 2 new books...where i wasted most of my time.That was some road map to usmle-anatomy,neuroscience,pharmacology(by appleton &lange).Ooops i wasted so much time going through them.But at this momnet i am so fascinated with new books.I cant resist it,i am kinda of bored with the kaplan books.But no wastage of time now.Yesterday was a good lesson.It will take more time to go through other books now.So let us stick to kaplan.
Anybody will suggest something about Goljan?
I think if i want to give try i will try only Goljan.Any good book by Goljan which i can use for last month?
What about Goljan Rapid Review?
Please give me more information about this book!
So i am back to Biochemistry!
Will let you know how it goes.
God ...give me strength to do my best in this last month.I jsut want to give my 100%,no repent later!
So here i go........... <:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:>

I bought them but didn't have time to go through the cd. Based on the questions in the book i think it's pretty representative of the exam and good explanations too. Probably just a little short on biostats and beh sci.

Thank you aish!!!
Congratulations for the awsome score!!!!!!!
/ / / / / / / / /
You must be celebrating the moments!!!
I just wish i should also be the lucky one to have a good score.Again ts not luck.I am jst insulting all of you people's efforts by saying it luck.I am sorry for that.I know its a combination of lot of virtues plus hard work,intensity,concentration and good inspiaration to achieve the goal.
Man can change his destiny.......yes he can!!!!
OK..i will give it a try to the goljan new book ,if i get time!
Now i am concentrating more on FA this week,beacause i never did it before.The first time reading takes time for me.I am a little dumb in that matter.
So today i will go for subject physiology!!!!!!!!
is FA good for it?Anyway i can revise fast with FA so its good for me.I will write extra notes on it.
where you guys got lot of graphs to practise???
is kaplan sufficient???
who cares......come on josh,first master the books you have in your hand and then go for the other stuff if you get time.....yes,here i go!!!!!
<:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:> <:wahtch_where_you_go:>
yu .............hu..............ye :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce:

Josh2004 nice diary..yours being 3rd one after Ahdy, namf....good way to go..encouraging yourself...just today only i read yours..
Last few weeks please do not try any new thing...kaplan, Firstaid, goljan...more than enough..I did not see anything which was not there in Kaplan..its all in one..if u stick to it..even for the graphs....yes to start with Kaplan is hard , but in the end..you will be glad that you did it..
Keep your Firstaid side by side..with kaplan..and do it..and in the end you leave kaplan other than graphs/tables and have first aid with you , with ur extra notes from Qbank..
Last days are certainly really really crazy..but this is the time you will get more than any period of your studies..so just focus on your concepts do it comfartably ..do not rush thru it especially Firstaid....last three days i didn't do anything other than First Aid...but I was shocked to realise how well I understood each and everyword of it..which I never did before..
So don't worry keep studying..everything will fall into right place...when the time comes..it will for sure..but you only realise it after , but not before...
Remembering you in my prayers...

Thank you kalsam!
I wish you good luck for your score!Dont worry you will do fine.Just relax ,no need to feel dumb,you cant do this study forever,it will have to finish sometime for everybody.Its very natural feeling.
Ok...kalsam let me ask you one question.When you did your qbank?
and what exactly you studied for last one month?
how you managed your study hrs?
how may hrs you studied?
what were the more high yeild areas?

Thanks a lot Josh! About physio graphs, yes Kaplan covers what would be on the exam, if you can then try to do the q's at the end of the kaplan chapters since they put things there that aren't always in the chapter. If you're doing q-bank then also you'll find a lot of similar graphs to the exam. But physio is the one thing in FA that i thought was covered poorly so make sure you spend time on it from either kaplan or BRS. I didn't see your other q before...yes it's a good idea about the nmbe b/c it'll give you an indication of where your weaknesses are so you can work harder in that area- my hematology was the weakest on my nmbe (and kaplan)and i worked on it and it was one of the best on the actual exam! Best wishes.

Goodmorning all!
End of the week.
This week i reached 60-62% in kaplan q bank.This week i devoted more time on FA than kaplan notes.
Today i had decided to revise the stuff,but seems like i dont want to go through again.I will do behavioral science again.Why i am so weak in it?I make silly mistakes in it.Small small things....i cant recognise the type of psychotic disorder clearly.Schzoid,schizoafective.....and bla bla bla........make me psychotic! :wink:
Ok this is a lst chance of improvemnet for you josh...so today work hard on the terminologies in the psychotic disorders...may be try to corelate it with somebody.I read it in someone's post.So here is what i will do..i will wite down it in my language.
So today behavioral science and afcourse epidemio and biostat.
So here i go........ <:wahtch_where_you_go:>
Namf ,dont worry man,be cool ,you will do it!!!!

Hi everybody!
So this week...how should i imprve myself.I have obeserved some of my mistakes last week when i did FA.
1)First thing i should concentrate more on the important facts than reading everything,which i used to do before.
2)Keep reading kaplan notes is not enough,kaplan s a review book.I should go back to books or try to undersatnd few topics thoroughly then only they will fix in my mind or i will keep forgetting or wont able to apply it.
3)I was very serious with the exam initially but recently i had reached to a feeling of having done with revisons also,and what more now i can do?I have become little careless about my studies,somewhere in my mind i think i have done all.But thats not true.Everybody can do it,with hard work and good concentration ,i can ace this exam.I should not let my mnd come up witt such damn things.This is the difference between the winner and loser.
4)My mind keeps wondering about what else i can do,thats not good!whatever i am doing is the best.Its a proven material.SO why anything else.Just keep doing.Practise makes man perfect.
5)I have reached constant above 60%zome in qbank now,and i will finish the qbank today.So i will have to revise it,but i am feeling very lazy about it.I feel lazy going back to the qbank nowadays.I guess people do questions till the end of their preperation.so why i cant?
I have some questions
1)About kaplan ,shall i try for integretted vignette qbank?
2)if yes,will it be time consuming now?
I have exam slot of august -september-october
3)anybody with their views about how to do anatomy section,i get bored while doing the notes.I have done FA wel.But i guess as people are getting lot of questions out of it ,i guess its not enough.So any advice?
Thank you !!!!!
Joshua

sorry pourya!
I dont have any idea,why it is not available now.
I will say keep trying,it happens with the 36,44,and 100 pages.They keep moving them.May be same copyright issue.
It was available initially.But i never used it,i had just checked once.I have a cd of the lectures.
You can buy the cd on ebay..will get it for only $10-15.
I am sorry..could not help you !!!!I waste lot of time if i start searching things on internet.So i have reduced on surfing these days.
Still i visit a lot on this forum
:wink:

Hey pourya !
it is available only!
Lets try again!
I did it today morning and it is working.
I will suggest use other server like firefox with no popups..or you will never reach there.
go to www.coolgoose.com
go in music
there click search
and then at the artist name column write 'papi'
and you will get it!
good luck!
