Hi to all the motivated step 1 team!!!
Wow what a respond! That's good that everybody's doing good as they go along with their studies. That is good that the Holidays are not deterring you from studying!!
Welcome to kiran & krushna.
Kiran that was good that you are doing your second reading now. When is your exam & what books are you reading?
hey zhouyong,
Keep the questions coming. I can't seem to drive my motivation to the fullest these past few days. I hope to do more good on reading in the next few days...
Keep in touch & share any kind of thoughts about your review & even personal probs about studying are welcome here. We're here to support one another!!!!

Welcome new members!!!
Today I am catching up now. Yesterday I worked until 0930pm. The emergency cases are keep coming in. Lap appy, ORIF on right ankle, lap choly ect. To be honest with you, I really want to jump into doing it. Wow, without step 1 and 2, I can't. Sometimes it is hard to deal with this kind of feeling as a past surgeon.
It is painful to learn step 1 again. On the other hand, I think this is a big challenge for me to repick up those knowledge systematically. That might be one of my motivations.
Patience, passion, dedication..... Those characters are forming when you are preparing for he boards, good for the future.
I need strength!!!!!!!
Thanks for asking, Kerochi

It seems like quite in my team. But I still keeping working on my plan slowly.
It feels like a great achievement once you finished my daily task. It is a big challenge indeed.

Hi everyone,
I have been inspired by people's dairy.
I have been trying to read one topic of FA in one day since I have to work during the daytime. Then I repeated to read the one I read yesterday. Sometimes I feel myself focus on speed instead of how much real stuff I memoried. I don't want to overlook something.
Then I do questions in order to review what I have learned. Someday it shows "horrible" result or the test is hard. I don't know. Some suggestions?
Best of luck to everyone.
Yong

Welcome on the board.
I have not heard about the online chat in our group. That would be a very good idea. How are you doing, Kerochi.

hi guys,
Im quite stuck w/ the business of Holidays.. I am so tired of shopping but it's a must do. I have finished 100 FA questions only thru value md just to familiarize myself w/ Biochem. Yup still in Biochem. I decided to do the hardest subject first.
Welcome to our new member igg. We will set an online chat thru this site most likely in early Feb.
or so. I want to finish somne areas of weakness first. Who knows we might start it earlier than that.
Thanks for asking igg.
Im doing fine Yong.. Just got to do more in reading these days. So busy w/ family activities.
How about you what are you studying now?/
Kiran how's the qbook? Is that by subject, per chapter??

Glad to hear from you again. Yes I agree with you. Holiday is big challenge for our group.
You finished shopping earlier and I just mailed out some gifts to my sister's family. Feel like a big relief.
I went over anamony and behavial science today through FA. I am pretty sure and I need review them again tomorrow.
By the way, are there any valuable practing questions through value md? I did not notice them.
Haning there.
Keep in working hard tonight.

Hi team
How are you? Working hard? We'll get there soon!
Yeah, definitely, Kerochi, there's so much else to do over the holidays. As long as we set aside fixed times for our preparation every day I'm sure we'll get through it drop by drop.
Yong, how are you preparing for anatomy? Are you reading things in FA first and then looking up in other sources things you're not sure about? I'm really worried about gross anatomy because in three years of med school we only got to spend fifteen hours in the anatomy lab. And that was mostly looking at prosections.
Keep at it, partners.

Hi Yong, Moctopod & Kiran & everyone....
Im starting the day early to finish up tasks..I'll go back to FA today. Some says you have to know it by heart.
Yong go to valuemd.com & check some sources. It helps.
Are you guys using BRS(REVIEW SERIES) I have seen from those who passed that they used it & I don't have it. Will you be getting it? What do you think?
