Dear Khrusna
Thanks for your PM Bro, and sorry I haven't been able to join any chats yet! It's good to hear you gained a lot from them. Will you join the new ones Usmlesteps has organised from Monday?
Have you received your Orange permit, btw? I've been such a slacker. haven't even applied yet... :oops:
Keep going (and read Laila's poem!)
Yours,
Moc

Couldn't really do pharmac well,was very much distracted.
I got the orange permit and i fixed the final day .It is 23rd May.One thing was nothing available before that,and other thing i think thats ok fir turtle like me also.Its just one more month more ....oooffff..
I am feeling very much pressurized........reallly......
Can't think of the big day guys....
It makes me feel so weak,but i need to win this feeling.I need to fight with the tiger.I am on pharmac ...i did the pharmacokinetic,dinamic things well..very speedily ,but then when i enetered in ANS...and then CVS...i was like just day dreaming about the exam day.Somehow couldnt do it.
I know i am the biggest stupid to behave like this when the deadline is just one month away.... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
I need to work on my concentration again.
So i have made a schedule for these days
Morning....till lunch time 12noon Goljan audio ....atleast 2hrs. :oops: (i wake up late guys)
Then finish pharmac till night .(kaplan +FA)
Then after dinner/ 10pm ,doing questions 100/day.
Want to follow it tomorrow.Right now i am trying to sleep while lstening to Goljan audio.I am not trying questions as i am having worst concentration tonight.Will try to sleep early tonight.
I need to be very punctual with this.Yes....i will be.
So here i resatrt my siary with my daily adventures in my last month of preperation.
So now on,i guess i will be in touch with u guys all the time.
So bye now....& happy studying!!!

Thanks Laila,kerochi,kiran,usmlerock,berk & pray4md for the tremndous suport and having faith in me.You guys are awsome. I feel so good & inspired from your messages.
Todays day was good.

Now i am moving to kaplan qbank.Need to go through 100 questions.I am feeling very good as after unproductive yesterday ,i came back on the track.
So tomorrow ,i will finish rest of pharmac. plus 2 hrs goljan & yes..most important 100 Questions like today.
I am going to do pathology on saturday- sunday.
Wish myself good luck.and happy studying to all of you guys.
Wish everybody will get a productive day & will march towards the ladder of success!!!

Guys i suck today...
So many things there to do....but i should not have let it distrct me from studies.But really...couldn't help myself.All household stuff & parent's expectation to be part of family functions.I am feeling to shift to hostel or to tak some room for studies now.seriously...
Anyway...here i am still couldn't sleep because of unproductive yesterday.The problem with me guys is,i can't just shift the gears smoothly.I mean if i go out or attend some functions with friends ,relatives..100's of thoughts occupy my mind.That is rediculous.it won't go...
So today..rather i should say y'day,finished Goljan for 2 hrs(did endo part).And then went out with parents.
Now i am struggling with finsihing pharmac,but you know my mind is not absorbing.I think i should sleep now.Should start from tomorrow.
It delays my schedule by 1 day.
I need to take NBME at the end of the month.Before that i should finish all questions plus one revision.
Anyway...
now tomorrow i will finish pharmac,will do the assigned question.Thats the priority.and then will shift to physiology.
Just praying God to get through this exam with good score!

Hi Krushna
Don't overload yourself, I know we get desperate trying to finish 10 readings of all subjects if we could :roll: but personally whenever I was more desperate I could not get anything from the stuff I was reading, but if I am cool everything seems to be loaded into my brain
I always have this up's and down's motivation problem, I suck on my preparation during my "downs", was doing good and then...plop! down again :cry: , like a baby bird trying to fly, oh well. It's been one week studying good again with the support of a great friend, I am coming out again I hope to keep on track, life is good now I hope it last until my exam...this can't continue. Seing people like you, niti, kiran, or the other guys that already passed their exam is like a slap on my face <red_eye> "I will try again", I heard this so many times, everybody must think I am pathetic, and yes I am, I just hope to be strong enough and keep this good work straight until the end :roll: I will :shock: I have to :x
Ok Krushna, I hope you can get rid of those distractions and focus on your books, you are doing good but I know you aim the 90's :wink: and you will do it :icon_thumb:
Happy Studying.
Roxy.

Thanks Roxy...for nice supportive words.
I really mean it.
And don't get into any low thoughts.You can do it,and you should do it.I mean there is no reason why we should not do this thing.There are lot people out there ,who are really getting high scores with hard work.So whats lacking in us? We need to work hard.Thats it! So be positive !
Sorry ,i couldn't write because of connection problem.
Now i am doing Goljan lectures (respiratory system).I didn't shift to physiology.My qbank made me shift to immunology again.Somehow i wil have to take care of this subject more,as i did lot of silly mistakes in last 2 days.So i am right on immuno on tomorrow also.Want to do only immuno questions for a day.
I think taking NBME will not be posible to me here,looking at internet problems.I really don't know.But i will take kaplan simulated test on next sunday.And on 7th May ,i will do the usmle CD(sent by test center).
Wish me good luck!
Its kind of very hard time in my life.I think i have got a lot of confidence problem.I have a big fear of failure.I NEED TO FIGHT IT. yes......i wll...
Just praying God,thats everything will go smooth.......

hi krushna
how are you studying?seems like you are working really hard.keep it up.
regarding nmbe, i think you can take the etst in some internet cafe as there will not be any connection problems there.just findout some centre where there is cable connection(most of the places have it) and take the test.just a suggestion!!!
even i got the kaplan q-bank cd from my friend so that i can revise all the explanations once again.
happy studying!!!1

Hi Kiran..
I am trying to revise as much as i can.
Lets see.
Though my performance is still not very remarkable.
Need to take the simulated & NBME.I will try NBME next week.I thnk i should,to get an idea where i stand.
Nowadays i am just revising kaplan qbank and then going through subjects plus FA.
For now,i am still not very happy with myself.Sometimes fets frustated also.Thinking that ,is it because i don't have enough IQ? :evil:I mean USMLE is not memorization.Everytime i face new questions ,i feel it.
Well part of life.
Need to face it.Thats what s in my hands for now.
Well now i am doing pharmac questions like crazy...lets see.Hoping raised performance in all,because of recent revision.and whenever get time ,iam just praying God to get me through all this battle with success.

Hey Berk
I tried kaplan simulated...got 56%

|

hi krushna
dont get disheartened.i can feel how you are feeling.i faced the similar situtaions after my nbme exam.you know what i just wasted 3-4 days thinking about my result.wish i used even those days.....dont lose hope.your hard work will definetly pay off.think on the positve side.people ssy that nbme is the correct correlation(though i follow my inner instincts more than the correlation now).so try hard and try to get an awesome score in that test.just stick to your plans and dont change your plans now or else you will be lost and it takes time to get into the track.
just forget about the score now and conc on your weaker areas and take the nmbe test.you also have the chance to postpone the test.i dont have even that.try to be strong and face all the hurdles....all our hard work will not go into the bin....will definetly score well.
goodluck!!!
kiran.

I know you are feeling down right now but never give up. Remember, even wombat finished Qbank with a 66% cumulative and she got a 250. Theres still plenty of time for improvement. have faith in yourself and you will get thru this!!!

in my opinion is for u to keep calm and stick to ur strategy. Negative thoughts are apt to come to discourage u. And the biggest fear of any usmle taker: low score is like a damocles sword hanging over the head, but don't let that frighten u. U know a lot of people have improved their scores in the final days of their prep by going over and over again in their weak topics and doing as many questions as they can. So just do it, and while u r doing it just make ur self keep a postive attitude about the exam. Think success. I am sure u will do it krushna.
Al lthe best
Laila

Hi krushna,
Sorry for not writing for so long..but, I really missed all of u guys here.You got low score in kap CD ??? & here what am I seeing..u started thinking about your IQ roll where from u get that idea..oh well ..I know v. well..this low score can take you anywhere..in the deepest of depression phase ..but,try to take some "positive" from this experience..don't underestimate the test ( it maybe harsh advice..but this is what I learned from this too)..in real ,instead of knowledge..u need lots of practice to apply that..these qs r different ( sometimes,looks like clinicals) ..what am I saying here..u have 3 mths pd to choose the date..take more tests asap & see where u stand & revise or do more Qs ( whatever fits in your plan?) ..it will definitely help u..& do not get discouraged ..as u r not alone..see whole gang is here D
cheer up & start study..
