right now i do close to 70 all the time.
but for the comparison-yesterday i did 50 nms qs-and i barely got 60.very nice book.lots of statistics,good explanations.plus-it really teaches you how to read-most of the qs that i got wrong-it's because didn't pay attention to the details-that's where they get you.
drkpp,how many times are you planning on doing q-book?

hi,nisha!
about nms-i like it a lot-not as much questions-but the explanations are exellent-i filled up lots of "gaps" in my knoweledge.
do it if you have time-but if not-make sure you go through UW really well-that's must.
GL.

Hi alenka,
Your study plan looks good.You are right that sticking to the plan is much harder than anything else  ...I know this because I have the same issue.I haven't set the date yet,but planning to take in jan/feb...it looks unreal but setting this in mind,maybe, I can move faster ! You are studying with a part-time job..its motivating for me too..because,I think,now I have this time issue too.Lets hope that everything will work out as planned.
With Wishes..

thanks,niti,-good luck to you too.
OK,today i bought 2 months at UW.i decided to do UW and Kaplan Q-bank in parallel-don't want to get used to just one stlye of questions.so i'll do 50 questions from each every day.of course-100 qs per day-that's a sweet dream for me-but if i aim for 100 and do 80-it still won't be bad.
it's 3:30 am,but i was too impatient to wait-so i did 10 qs from psychiatry-unused,tutor mode-got 7 out of 10.
i need an advise-should i do the qs in timed or untimed format?
thanks in advance .
