Starting from scratch, right now? You better start studying ur ass off now buddy. There's a s*** load of material to cover and thousands of questions to do. Do you think thats enough time? I'd be crapping in my pants if I was in your shoes. how's that for pushing?

hi, zokorro, I am studying from scratch too....but I did not plan the exam yet...probably after I am going to do the first reading i will think to plan it, but If I am not doing well after the first reading, I will do the second reading and plan it after that...anyway I am looking to take the test in the end of the year, probable in Nov., sooner or later than nov, depending how confident i feel...I work part time, and is a lot to study, so I do not know how long is going to take me to study all these materials….do you have a plan? If you think you can finish everything by May, that is fantastic …. But questionable …let me know how you are doing…..write me on my e-mail if you would like: tita7522@hotmail.com

Well, depend on many factors if you can do it on May, or not: first is when had you finished Medical School…second how many things you remember , third how good is your memory and understanding things… and I heard other people did it in just few months….so probable you can do it…about me….i ma sure I need a lot of time…a lot! Anyway I am with you, and I will be happy if you can do it.

Hi Raluca, i did two years of theory that ended last may, i took the exam one time in july. Then i spent three months in internal medicine rotation. In my school they usually give students 1 to 2 months to prepare for the exam, i have been out of school for a few months now but have not taken the exam yet. I am still planning what i am going to do. I have read the first aid and step up and now i am reading ayala pathophysiology. All that to get an overall view, i have kaplan books, the vignettes which i will read as soon as i finish the ayala. I am waiting to receive some money to order qbank. Well that is my current situation. Ill keep in touch!

So, I think you are doing good,…, and also you are the only, ONLY one to know exactly if you can do it on May, , but I feel that you going to do it! For me is a big difference because I finished Medical School in Sept. 2001, and after I came in USA until now I was working very hard, in a dermatology office, so all my knowledge took a big break…not good…but I had to work…now, I try to get back all I study in Medical School, and improve it also…Is going to be a hard way until I will pass the exam…who knows?

Thats ok berkeleyboy, i actually laughed about it. zokorro is a mispell of my middle name Socorro, you know like these women named maria socorro de todos los angeles. Socorro actually means help or aid and it is a girl name. I wish you good luck in your studies too. By what you said i realized i have to work harder than what i am doing.
Nice to meet you.
