Just finished with readings.Now starting q bank.Kaplan physio is really good.I read it for the first time.I find it very useful. My husband is gone to do grocery and my little one is sleeping.Sometimes it gets very quiet in here.especially when he is sleeping. he is my angel. q bank will take a while i am sure.its 3;33 pm.

today was the same.I did respiration physio,pathophysio and patho q bank qs plus goljan and kaplan for that...I scored 64% over all.77%in patho,38% in physio and 67%in pathophysio..It means my physio for respiration is weak.I have to work on that. just started with CVS physio,patho from goljan and kaplan.There are more than 100 qs in q bank.I will do 50 today and 50 tomorrow.Lets see how it goes.

did q bank 50 qs today.CVS pathology,pathophysio and physio..I scored good.over all 72%.patho 69%.pathophysio 80%..I know doing qs subject wise and then breaking into systems is not a good predictor but still I feel confident that I know that much from what I studied..tomorrow is CNS day.I must finish all patho,physio,patho physio qs by the end of weekend..Hope i will do fine. reet I did BRS the first time I took the test..I failed.so I switched to kaplan.I think respiration was good in BRS..I think may be I will read that from brs too.I am just not sure when to take the exam.I must take nbme to see where I stand.

hmm..I did CNS yesterday.I know this is my weakest area.So instead of doing q bank I decided to revise all CNS another time before doing q bank 50 qs..I did do 50 qs today and right from the start of the test I could tell,I dont know the answers. I read goljan and BRS CNS.There were just no physio qs..rest were from patho and psthophysio...I scored real bad.Just 44%..patho is 50% and patho physio is just 27%,,....I am really worried about my scores in cns..It means goljan is not good enough for CNS ...I have read kaplan before..I will be starting the next reading and question round next month so I will read kaplan too.I have read q bank explainations but I didnot get a single point..Then I think may be my neuro anatomy is weak too.. Any ways I am moving on.atleast I know I need to work more on that.I am now studying GIT,For physio I will do BRS,for pathophysio and physio,I will go for goljan..I really like kaplan patho too.but I will try goljan this time..I really think those notes are really good. aprepdoc,sorry to be late in replying..On weekends I really dont get time bcz my son is at home.There is a variable ratio dear.It almost covers just everything.The high yields have more questions than others..But I would suggest,,,do take q bank as it is worth doing bcz it tells u about your weaknesses..and then u can actually work on that.

I am really depressed about my scores on CNS.I feel I am really going downhill.I did Git today and now about to start qs..If any one could just guide me bcz I think I am just too slow in reading and doing qs.and I donot remember every thing in the explaination either. lets see how will I do on GIT..
