I hear you about the pissing thing. In Jan and Feb I was up to like 2-3 cups of coffee a day and I just stopped it all completely cuz I didn't want to have to piss every 15 minutes during exam time. now adays I'm completely el natural. hyperdiuresis sucks.

Hi pray4md, You found q bank's qs mainly from FA and Kaplan Notes ? What do you think is better..revising notes and FA or only doing Q Bank at the last moment? Thanks JS

do first aid and qbank in the end. its all the same. do the questions, then look up as much as u can in first aid then go back and do another question. keep yourself busy with as much high yield/high return info as u can. thats my opinion..... hope it works....everyone has their own style, thats what works for me..... after all is said and done, hopefully ill survive and ill do a post on strategy....there are a lot of things i would have done differently for sure.... -pray4md

my test is on the 31st. didnt really have time for the usmle cd and dont really feel like it at this point. i put all my stock into qbank and nbme....hope that was good move. im just hoping i retain as much as i can. im gonna do first aid purely and maybe SOME questions if i feel like it. but first aid to make sure there is some freshness. hope it works out! p4md ps-by the way, last nite i had some really WEIRD dreams that were unrelated to the exam....hahaha.

hey guys, how areyou? thought id drop an update on here. its april 20, so for those that know, happy 4/20. its 20 days since my exam. i did my share of vacationing and partying out here in so cali, and i must say i still think about this exam. i still feel anxiuos sometimes. its really weird. i guess im nervous for my score? well, i hope im not a mental patient at this point and then my life can one day reach a level of normalcy! haha. right after the exam, i felt agitated more than anything for like 3-4 days, maybe longer, who knows. this test definately took A LOT out of me. even though i pushed hard all the way through, and pushed real hard towards the end, i hope it paid off. the big thing i realize now is that there is nothing more important than your health and your happiness for life. my biggest advice for you guys is to maintain your confidence, and dont overly stress yourselves out. its just a test (and hopefully i passed! haha, cuz i cant go through this again) and there is more to life than taking one dumb test. even in the grand scheme of your career, the patients u will deal with in the time ahead, this one test will amount to nothing later on. so save yourselves the EXCESS stress.....note, i say excess, meaning, dont be totally relaxed, but dont overly put yourself in the middle of a warzone. anyhow, i wish everyone the best of luck. ill give everyone an update as soon as i get my score. peace -p4md
