hi all
what i did since 2 days was ....studying physio.trying to concentrate more on it as my nbme shows that i'm poor in it.
but did not do any questions.....but to be honest since my nbme exam i feel very tensed up.
though i'm studying a lot more i can feel the tension and anxiety building up.
only one thought is creeping up in my mind,.....WILL I BE ABLE TO DO IT?????
but at the same time i keep telling my self that i shud not give up so easily.i still have 25 days.i can do a lotin that much time.i'll give my best shot in the time i have and the rest i'll leave to GOD.
well now my target for today:-
complete the rest of physio.
do some physio questions.(dont know which source to use)....will tell you all tomorrow how i did today....
no negative thoughts till my exam and all positive thoughts.i'll do my best in the time i have.
bye all
kiran.

I just read about your nbme score, but wombats right. you can't let something like this bring you down. I know its hard and you must be stressing like mad right now but just take things one step at a time. Scores will and do go up with more revisions and more questions. there's no doubt about that.
More revisions + more Qs = higher score
simple equation that never fails

kiran,
definately keep studying. focus on qbank and first aid, the highest yield stuff and watch your score fly through the roof, seriously. make sure you spend the time and read all the answer choices.
but look at the bright side, atleast u have a reason to be stressed out, here i am having nothing to do and stressing out of nowhere. im going cookoo haha.
youll improve, no doubt. keep it up

Hi Kiran
How are you going over Dr Goljan's lectures again? Are you following the audios with his HY notes? It helped me to keep all my notes together.
Also, what were your weakest subjects on the NBME? Will you have time time to go over all of them in Kaplan again? I think it will add more focus now.
Keep going, sis!

hang in there and stay positive. it will work out. just work hard every day, stay positive and happy and take a little break and do something that makes u feel good. eat a chocolate bar, whatever. it will work out. no one in here is a rocket scientist, just people that work hard. if i can do it, so can u.

Hi guys,
I'm new to this chat forum but I've enjoyed reading over the Prep Diaries. Could someone please explain to me what you mean by "revising" notes??? I do have the Kaplan books & have just ordered the 2005 FA. Please explain. :?: :?: :?:

I won't be studying for step 2 until I finish at least 4-5 core rotations. And I haven't even started my clinical years yet!
good luck to you buddy!
I'll be around the forum and praying you get over 500 on your nbme!

I really admire ur perseverance and tenacity. I am sure with all this hard work combined with ur revised strategy will pay off soon. Just don't let the pressure get u, and don't let ur spirits get down. For this last round of battle u need all ur ammunition at hand. I really envy u in a sense for u are in the very last stage of ur prep. And soon will be done with it. That will be great.
All the best to u Kiran. Have a nice day studying. Well I like it better the way u say (I remebver reading it first in ur diary ) "Happy Studying" 
GL
Laila
