kiran, use the score to motivate yourself, not depress yourself...may is a very realistic goal for you if you keep studying hard...those scores will go up considerably...so don't let down and keep working hard, it will totally pay off in the end...don't change the test date as of now, it'll keep you focused...look at it this way, you know 40% of the material necessary, and you have until may to learn another 40%  completely doable...study hard!

hi kiran,
hope you're doing okay. Cheer up crock is right keep that low score motivate you to study more. You can do it!! We can do this!!!
BUT just to let you know that I was so scared when you said you were in third revision already & I have not even finished my 1st reading....
with all of the subjects.. Im not sure if by organ system would work.. but it's okay I can find my way to study harder... I am back to Biochem for 2nd reading bec my 1st one was sloppy & now Im enjoying this subject..
I dropped pathology also instead I will be studying Physio first before the abnormals But again I was done w/ my first reading in patho. So my mind is wandering but I am learning.. After this week( til Friday) I have to finish Biochem. Then Sat. night start w/ Physiology.
My plan is to start all Questions by 1st wk of march.. I hope I'll have enough time plus to do all my readings for the 2nd time also.. I pray that i can do all of this... if I don't sleep too much Coffee helps me a little in not sleeping at times...but most of the time it makes me sleep hahaha .
You see kiran i am psyching myself out there's problems but im trying to be more positive because if you'll feel down it will make you feel more
gloomy. Weather is getting better now... take a 10 mins walk even just around your house if your feeling a little sad .
Statistics today.. good luck..You'll be fine..
Have a productive day to all !!

Hi friends,
I couldn't start my preparation as I wrote earlier on 1st of feb, b'se of a viral fever.Only just go t'h first aid,not much.Now I'm quite alright & will start from t'w very seriously, no more excuse from t'w.Still aiming for may-June.
Kiran: Don't worry about your score.You can improve that very soon.Never give up,you can do it.All the best for your studies.
Kerochi,Yong,simi,c-rock& all: How is your preparation going on?Happy studying all.

hi kerochi
i'm in my third reading...u r rt....but i would say that its like my second reading because in my first reading i didnt read well. :oops: :oops: what all i did was just that i came across the contents of the books.and you know it took nearly 4 months for that.i was never consistent. :cry: :oops:
so dont bother.....you are really doing very well.my suggestion is that dont ever neglect questions......thats the mistake i did.and also try to stick with ur schedule....dont change it frequently.
doing physio before patho is very good.you can understand patho very well then.
calm down and study well. :lol: :lol:
suvi
how are you now?feeling good??????
gone time doesnt come back.so just stick to ur books.wish i cud tell all these to myself!!!! :wink: :wink: :lol:
happy studying everyone!!!!
now here i get back to studying again....

Hi guys,
How are you doing! I have been trying some of your guys' suggestion. They are very helpful. This time my reading is kinds of slow. I really need more motivation. It has been for a while since I started my preparation. I start feeling more and more unexplain frustration when it goes by and the test is coming. Probably I expect myself too high after so many times of reading, I should be very confident with any questions. Sounds silly. I know , I know. Be patient and be motivated. There are still lots of new knowledge to me. I need to keep myself refreshed everyday.

I am half-way through Goljan's tape. Once a while I feel some sparks in my brain. Probably this is the first time. In my brain, there are many gaps I am feeling and need to connect them to make a whole picture. In the past one month, I have been doing these work. Very hard but it worthes.

Quiet a team ha....!
Hey i missed this team posts ...feeling stupid.. 
Anyway...i think i am already in.
For now i am doing kaplan qbank....i can say that only.Because i dont get time to read much.
I am not doing great on qbank..just 58% cumulative score.
But trying to absorb as much as i can.Thats why its taing a long time.I have to read the explainations well.Some of things i missed are either i ddint remmebr or i missed from my reading.
need to highlight the things in kaplan.

hi guys,
I can't sleep so I'm trying to finish Biochem... I think anxiety of passing is getting me now.. I see people studying for 10 hrs.makes me nervous but they all actually passed so I figured out if I stay focused on reading continouosly might decrease my anxiety level.
hi krushna..welcome back.
are u done w/ Gljan tape yong? How was it?
Did you do alot of q's today kiran?
Hi to niti, crock,imbebo,suvi moctopod,JS,pinkangel & to all new members.. Happy Studying.. let me get few more hrs of sleep then hit the books again..
We can do this....

hi krushna
dont worry...you can complete thye Q bank in the time alloted for you.dont forget to thru the explainations in detail.....just try to imbibe as much as possible from it.
hi kerochi:
dont panic...you are doing great.have enuf sleep so that you can retain better that u have studied.
some one told me.....its neccesary to have 6 hrs of continuos sleep to absorb all the stuff that you have read.and this is according to kaplan.
yesterday i cudn't complete all the stuff i thought t0o do....just went thru the FA,defense mechanisms,social life,human sexuality.and also i cudn't do Questions.
today is the last day for my beh sci revision....got to complete it.
happy studying everyone!!!!

Hi guys,
Good morning, everyone!
What a busy day yesterday! I finished all of my assigned cases. Then on my call, I have got lap Appy first. Then wrapped up ACDF then got a "white code". By the time I got home already after midnight. When I left home it was dark, I went home it was dark again. There was no time to study yesterday. I guess I learned from real life. Anyway that is going to be our future life.
I am off today. Hope it will be a productive day. I am on the third day of Goljan's tape. There are two days left. I definitely need to relisten to it. I am feeling there are many valueable information there. Meantime I keep making progress on Kaplan reading. Just Start pharmacology reading. Meantime I radomly doing test. The only disadvantage for my test is that I can't keep track of my score. I need get it fixed. I got my orange sticker. Have not call test center yet.
Good luck on your study.

Way to go Yong.. keep it up. When is your test? Are you doing MCQ's now?
Hi Simi.. Hope you're having a productive days now since your feeling better. Take care..
I didn't do much yest.. i wasn't feeling good but Im okay now. I am not used to staying up so late anymore.. i stayed up til 3am the other night & yest. I felt like I donn't want to do anything. So my lesson.. It's better to do my routine..6-8h/d instead of pressuring myself to stay up late & trying to finish everything.. My eyes are puffy & lost 6 lbs in a matter of 1 wk. but it's okay...will try to read 3 more chapters of Biochem today. I only have 2 days lft for it in my sked.
have a great day everyone!!

hey guys! just wanted to touch base, i've been pretty busy with the studying for once! although i am only getting 50-60% qbank random blocks, this is just the beginning...this week i did biochem, am hoping to finish all kaplan material and webprep lectures on this subject by the end of the weekend...i tell you guys, this is going so slow, this is only my first read! i hope i will be ready for step by june...next week is going to be physio...i am worried though, i still am not in any kind of groove, i go to sleep late, sleep in till noon, workout for about 2 hrs/day, and honestly only study about 5-6 hrs a day with a few "freak" days of 12 hrs studying...i need to find someway out of this little funk, gotta get on a regular sleep schedule and quit watching tv and such! any suggestions guys? i just can't get to bed until about 3-4am and don't wake up until noon...i have to snap out of it and start being WAY MORE productive...
and kerochi, thanks for that referral, appreciate it very much
study hard guys

well coming to me....yesterday was also not ok.....donno for some reason i getting headache every other day......its the worst thing to happen before exams.well nothing shud come in between.need to take an appointment with ophthalmologist....so that i can get my eye sight checked.
hi suvi
good luck with your patho.what are you following for patho...dont forget to add goljan in your patho list.
hi c_rock
ya try to maintain a steady sleep schedule...its very important.first decide whether you are a noctornal reader or not!!!then fix the schedule.

Hello guys,
How's everyone doing w/ reviews & questions???
Friday & yesterday were busy days for me not only studying but helping out here at home as well. My sis had guests so I had to watch my niece & nephew but they were okay & behaved so I was able to do lots of things when it comes to my reading..
Still finishing up my sked , also started Physio., getting a little slow w/ reading though. I hope to do much tonight after dinner...
Will update you guys about my progress meanwhile I hope everyone's all fired up in reading...
