hi guys
another daily dairy starting now in this wonderful forum....inspired by many others who have done so and got out with flying colors.i like this forum a lot.its just for me to be in the track as i am on and off with my studies till now.atleast i'll become conscious that others are reading my posts and also get inspired by many senior members like namf,bm,josh,jsmart,ahdy,elm....and many more.
coming to the real stuff i started preparing for step 1 around 2 months back.but till now nothing serious. i actually planned to take the step in dec.but now i think i've to postpone it to jan as i dont have enogh time.but still i'm in the thought of appearing for dec.should see what will happen.
my paln is something like doing one subject per week except patho and physio and should complete my first reading by the end of october.then in november i plan to do the second reading along with the Q-bank.my last and final reading should be over by dec....this is my schedule.. :P hope its correct :P any suggestions by the forum members are most welcome. :lol: 
i'm planning to use the Kaplan material,as usual Goljan for pathology and FA ,Q-bank.is there anythingthat i missedany suggestions are appreciated. :? :?
yesterday i started with beh sci.i have done the kaplan material and solved the Questions given at the back of the chapter..unfortunately i was not able to solve them :cry: :x ..think i didnot study the concepts properly :oops: .so planning to do it again today.
today i should do the substance abuse,social life in us and the biostats..hope i'll be able to do them. :roll:
ok guys bye for now!!!please keep me motivated...

Good for you to have a diary...You still have plenty of time to read and score high.
I think you have to fix the date/month of doing the test.Then start reading seriously knowing that you do not have enough time though it seems months ahead.The important thing is the QUALITY of time and not quantity.
Have a timetable from today and follow it,If you plan things effectively then u will be ok.
Do lots of questions and pray, everything is possible.
Wish you luck in your journey

hey kiranadi,
having a diary is a great idea. it helped me. well, you'r plan sounds good....just make sure u TRY your best to stick to it (i know i failed at that...changed my schedule constantly to accomodate my slow pace and unexpected delays). one thing i would recommend that i wish i had done.....is before you start a topic is review that first in FA and then do kaplan/brs/hy/goljan (whatever source you're using) and then after you're done using that source, go back to do a quick review in FA this way...you'll get multiple reviews of FA and "prereading" FA kind of gives you an idea on what is extremely HY. I particularly did not find goljan's 36pp HY notes helpful. I do wish i had spent a day or two using Pathophysio for Boards and Wards.....and if u get time....doing a system based review would be fabulous....just to tie everything in together.
well, i think that's all i can think of right now. good luck with ur prep...

i was actually not acing up with beh. science ..so was thinking to shift to some other subject..but after reading ur post..i feel its better if i stick to the schedule i prepared..thank you once again for ur advice. :lol:
my schedule for today is doing DSM,organic disorders and psychopharmacology.
yesterday the same thing happened again :oops: ..did not read well in the evening :oops: ..so i cud not complete the learning and beh. modification :cry: ..if time permits i will finish it off today(hopefully)
