I dont think so.Socres should not have any effect if you just relax and watch movies.
But ..
yes "But"
if you can handle it then only.
I am a kind of person who can't sleep before exam,& if does then gets mad with fear of getting failed in exam.But again according to me keeping awake and studying whole night never increased my performance.
If you don't have my kind of psychology,if you can really relax--just go ahead.My mom always tells me to have good sleep and relax mind before going for important exam.
You are done with preperations now,try to relax.
take deep breaths to relieve the anxiety.May be you can try a cup of ice cream & nice movie tonight !!!And sleep well.Next day morning,get up with fresh mind.
I know ,you are the best man to figure out whats good for you at this moment,but still thought i shd exchange some freindly words.
Good luck & Take care!!!

I guess I'm afraid of forgetting things....I keep reading but I feel like I don't know any of this stuff that I've read at least three times. Its so weird....there so many things that I'm tripping about....I don't even know how tommorrow is going to be like. Its been almost a week since I've done pharm, and I don't think I'll be able to re-read it all....we'll see how things go on wed.....
I'm just rambling here.....pretty scared...and nervous, I hope I haven't forgotten too much path either...damit Its been a while since I've done path too

the big day is finally here, exam tommorrow.....I'm going to be reading today.....path and anatomy in FA and CNS and CVS drugs. This shouldn't take all day and I might close with looking at some equations and charts in rapid review. I know I should be relaxing but the only way I'll be able to sleep tonight is if I read all day. I can't believe my exam is tommorrow. I'm not really having problems sleeping....went to bed at around midnight and got up at 7am. I'll do the same thing tomorrow morning. Thank you everyone...Wombat, niti, krushna, kiran, squirrels, pray, mocto, retro, pink, Rox for helping me get this far. Can't wait to get this dumb test over with. This test has taken so much out of me....
anyways pray for me guys, this is the moment of truth. 3 months of hard core prep 12 hours a day at least--> better show for something.
BERK

wombat and rox for the nice posts. I'm pretty scared still. I feel like I made a mistake and should have made it a priority to re-read path and pharm before the exam. Its been almost 10 days since I've last read these two subjects thouroghly and well...I feel like I'm forgetting little details that FA is leaving out. Oh well, can't really do anything about it now.
Maybe its just all in my head and I really am ready....who really knows.
thanks again for the nice posts. I love rox's pictures. That must take forever to do.
Berk

Don't worry you have solid practice score. Just be cool and get it done. Bring 2 forms of identification if you are driving. (I heard people say their driver's lisence was taken by police due to traffic law violation or so on the way to test center. So just in case...) Everybody felt they are forgeting things/haven't studied enough before the exam. It's ok, you are more than fine to take the exam. 8) All the best.

I hate tripping like this. its 5:30pm, already have read FA for gross, and half of FA for path. Almost done with CNS pharma. Gotta finish FA path and CVS drugs and I'm out!!
:shock:

for the courage and the nice post, you guys have more confidence in me than I do....hope everything goes well tommorrow
anyways, didn't get to get thru what I wanted to today but who cares. I don't think anything I did today really helped....just sort of scatter brained.... But now.... I'm done studying for step1 guys. Wow can't believe it. Its 11:15pm and am going to bed soon. Hoping to fall asleep by midnight...
thanks again niti for being there for me. I won't be one of those lame asses who just leaves the forum now that I'm done.

I thought the exam was really really tough. You can read about my experience in the experience forum. I should have studied embryo, I should have done more Qs. i should have read cardio and autonomic drugs again...I should have...I should have....I should have was what I was thinking during the whole exam. Seriosly, it was really hard, guessed on so many Qs per block it was ridiculous. I think in block 1, 4, 5 and 6 I guessed on like half the Questions. thats just not right. If it wasn't for my good nbme score I would feel like I failed right now....3 months of prep down the drain. But I hear that many are like this after the exam. Anyways guys, thanks again for posting. I would say really try to concentrate and memorize as you read. I know its hard but its so hard to recall during the exam, esp. when you have limited time. And these are the Qs that you have an idea what they are asking you. You have to get these right...because there are so many that you'll have no clue what is going on and is not in the reading.
Berk

I haven't written in this thing for a while. I just wanted to say hi to all you guys and wish you luck in all your studies. Remember, try to memorize all you can while doing your revisions. And keep taking notes of the things you are most likely going to forget. You never know when you are going to or if you are going to get to review that particular material again and you'll be kicking yourself in the ass if you see the Q on your exam and you can't recall the specific fact. This happenned quite a lot to me during my exam. Stay focused and dont' take anything lightly. There are dumb little details everywhere....
neurofibrillary tangles are hyperphosphorylated tau protiens. who woulda thought?
I am in Dublin Ireland right now, enjoying some down time with my sister who's in medical school here. I'll be here for the rest of the month and its really taking my mind off my score!
Best wishes and good luck friends.
