hey all.... I'm a USFMG graduated in august of 2004....Took Kaplan live lecture , used Goljan notes and qbank for one month.....I just got back from my exam.....WTF! It was no where near as difficult as I imagined. Basic classic cases....Buzz words galore....a lot of path and physio....anatomy was ridiculously basic as well as behavioral....nbme correlates really well...its actually a bit harder i think. there was a question directly from qbank too. I was on another forum and someone was talking about some questions from his exam....the exact same question came on mine.....Stay focused on path and phys....Goljan is key. My kaplan live lectures were probably the best help. My pharm prof. basically dictated some of the questions on my exam.., ditto with my path prof...Dr. barone....He is freakin unbelievable.....he is on par with Goljan....even better because of his memory aids......I was averaging 65 on qbank..... I hope I pass...Maybe I thought the exam wasnt too bad because I was picking the distractors....We will see...Oh yeah.....there was hardly any pharm at all...Couple of genetics questions.....a lot of immuno.... peace

Hi, Penndoc Thank you so much for sharing the experience. Good luck on the score, and I am sure you did great. I am wondering if I can ask two questions. What Goljan notes did you use, like how many pages? I realized that there are different ones our there, how to find a newer one? Or does it matter? Do you mind send me the link to the questions the other person shared? Or which forum is it, or maybe the questions if possible? Thanks again! My email is perhaps2046@yahoo.com. Good luck on the score!!
