thanks drkpp. that was a very handy tip. and no, i had'nt thought about it so pls whenever yu have a reminder for me, just give it to me it'll always be helpful. going thru nephro and i got good news ! i choose the perfect time to fall sick. viral ! but i am not going to sit down and let the time pass away...i read whatever i can ... even if the viral has slowed my speed even more ( as if it was'nt slow enough ). aur bahot sahi bole drkpp, delhi dur nahi aur should i say US dur nahi ( pun intended, i am in canada )

  Sorry to hear that achilles. But better now than any latter, right. I know its difficult and frustrating but try taking things optimistically and world does look much more beautiful than we have ever imagined. Once you are out of this in a couple of days your as* is gonna be on fire and who knows maybe you would study harder then you ever would have!

well guys, i am lying here in my bed wrapped in a blanket ... its getting tough to concentrate...havent been able to read much today so just listening to neurology lectures on my laptop. and yes now my a** is on fire already. but to see the good thing in this is that it did not happen so close to the exam or on the exam day...well i just hope that doesnt happen and i havent said something too soon. i am sure you guys are working hard cause it seems you guys are going to give the exam sooner than i am. happy studying and as for me i am going to listen to the lectures. something is better than nothing.

yup, trying my best. Quite a few questions left on usw. still debating whether to extend or not By tomorrow have to start with kaplan notes cause feel that the strategy to solve the questions is o.k but the facts and knowledge seems to be corroding......

thats the way to go drkpp...finish it tonight whatever it takes... we just need to stick to what we have planned and keep our focus on the job needed to be done and it will happen for sure. as for me, i have recovered and now i am a little more tensed up and will try to finish what i had thought by this weekend to compensate for the time lost. hope i can do it. it was the long weekend and we had planned a whole day off to have some fun but now we could not do anything as i had to study to make up for the lost time. i shall get over with neurology by today evening and then i shall go on to hepatology.

still going on with hepatology and i am going a lot slower than i want to actually. i dont like reading about all these syndromes but well i gotta learn it, not just to pass i must know it too so that i can use that knowledge to someone's benefit(this just came to my mind while i was writing this). yes, now this has motivated me further. keeping that in mind i'll go back to reading and finishing as much of hepatology i can today so that by tomm aft i can get on with cardiology.

still going on with cardiology but i am happy with the way i am going thru it. i needed this revision. its amazing how we tend to still find more things when we read something for the 2nd time and that makes understanding the text better.

i am not feeling too good about my preparation. i am seriously thinking about taking another month for the exam. i'll think about it today and will do it by tomm if i do it. i seriously need more revisions. after i was trying to recall, i could'nt recall a lot of things and that has left me a little tense. i think i need more readings.

hi drkpp, hope your nbme was much better than mine. thanks so much for the timely and wonderful advice. i took my nbme 1 and scored 450...a paltry 450. but it was a good experience and now i know what my weakness is...i actually got an asterix in obgyn and surgery and mediocre for medicine. i did good in medicine in systems i did recently and bad in systems that i had reviewed long back so i guess i need a lot of reviewing which should be good for me. the portion where i did not do well at all was pedia and psychiatry and derma. so a lot of work to do now. and yes, i have postponed my exam. i was going to take it on 21st of june. now i will take another month for it. hey lisaM, good to see you. hows everything going on with you. you must be waiting to be able to apply for 2007 match. good luck !
