Taday I will do Carbohydrates & Intermediate metabolism. Also Geneic Regulation. I am going to library late. that is why my productivity is so low for the past few days. And Its So Hot. If i go late to library i just get cooked in the way. so i must go there early, like around 7-8 and put in 7-8 hrs. only than can i do it. not by what i am doing.
Biochem is looking much easier and understandable for the fiirst time. thank god.
but i cant give it more time than this week. i must start patho from monday. so still so much things to do. and i am still far away from grasping Mol bio. Please God make it easy for me.
Ok 5 days to go for Biochem.
GL to me.

thanks tolito for your support.
combo ir working well. i am finding that it is easier to study two subjects than one. one thing is wrong though. thats askdoc...... i just read his post, excellant advise he gave, and now i know answers to my many questions. but i now know that i will need a new plan. i know why my scores are so low. I have a big KA deficit. and i must fill it. must master subjects. better to know now than a bit more latter but you know it is very difficult to see the truth when after seeing it you have to do more work.... so i unconciously try to not see the obvious fact but there is no escape. i have to read big books in some subjects. like in genetics, and must do general path from robbins and much of special from it too. i have read most of the book in med school and i like it but i also know that how much time it demands. so i want to end it soon but there is no escape from truth. i must revise my plan and make a new one and go for masering things, not just familiarizing.....
please god help me....

that is my greatest pitfall, being familiar with everything and not knowing anything in depth. hss always been my problem since med school. i am a fast reader so i do speed readign all the time. over the years i learnt my lesson and now i speed read first time, then slow down second time and then do questions which show my areas of deficit and then a third readign with note taking. i am reading mostly 'big' books along with kaplan LN. i tend to perform better when ido that.
you may not have time to read thro the whole of big robbins. select topics that are essential, like inflammation, neoplasia and a few disease conditions to read in big robbins. you may use kaplan as your guide for those ones you need to read in depth. dont waste too much time trying to read new stuff now. try and consolidate what you know now. i have started to do that. no point in not knowing stuff deeply. if i end up with just 80% done well, i am better off cos i know i will get 80% of the questions set. we need only 60 -70% to have a pass so 80% will give us late 80's and 90's. so malik, dont be daunted with the work and dont overload yourself.

thanks tolito for your insightfull post. you are right. no time for big books now. i will only look for topics i cant understand. main thing now is to integrate and memorize and solidify things in mind. so we can reproduce that we know.
thanks cool guy. I hope i will appear by mid july. :-* my triad has started so i have little time to go.
thanks seems. thanks for ur prayers.

Thanks for your prayers Hodgkins.
I am couldn’t update my journal for many day. Here is what I am doing. I am doing a systemic review now. I think it is a good idea and it does seems to be working, though it has its drawbacks, too.
I have done endo and repro in past few days. First I did their histo from hy, than Physio and path from brs. Than Goljan lectures, to sum things up, with his slides. And than review from fa and step up. In future I plan to do pharma as well. I wanted to do this for a long time, but when I previously started it, I found that I need a good back ground in biochemistry. Now with biochemistry all things are making so much more sense.
Also my online Qbank subscription will end in 20 days now. So I wanted to do it systematically. Also I am focusing on memorizing things as without that score can’t improve.
The thing which is not working is that I am not putting in enough time. I am just doing 6-7 hrs. Reason? I am daily being late to library. I get up around 9-10 & get there around 12. Than I make up about 6-7 hrs till 9/10.
I must get there at 8 and get 8-10 hrs now. Half of my triad is already gone. Also I wanted to clear many things from other books but couldn’t because of time problem, like I couldn’t understand Pagets disease. I wanted to do it from Robbins but now I have to start the next symptom……..
Inshallah I will correct my mistakes.
From tomorrow I will start Respiratory system I did its histo and some Physio but my mind was unable to work on the respiratory volumes and all those equations. Respiratory Physio is like reading math which I don’t like.
I hope tomorrow with fresh mind I will focus better.

i agree with ur approch by goin system wise rather then subject wise , i might switch as well.
good luck

hey malik ,
keep it up u r doing great .
we missed u and ur posts.
but if u were studying then its good .
all the best ,now ,i guess u have to work even harder since the triad started,and i m sure ull do great .just take care of ur health and i heard frm someone on this forum ,that its good to have vitb tablets at this time .start having them cz ull have to spent alot of energy.
so good luck ,and dunt drainur slef out ,leave some energy for the am,cz i heard it gets more and more stressful as u go near the xam day ,and its a veryy long day.
so be careful ,and study wisely.
take care and ALLAH HAFIZ

hi guys. thanks seems. you are wonderful. thanks for your wishes and support.
thanks aisha. you are right. when you are in the rythm and when time is getting short :-) , than 4-5 hr study is like the day got wasted. i still have so much to do. and this systemic approach is very time consuming. but i am getting a much better understanding so its worth it.
respiratory system is done. today i started Renal. did its anatomy, histo but couldnt finish physio. gosh. i thought that my renal physio is good but there are so many things that seemed new. its amazing how much one forgets over time. i did histo from hy. i must say that dudek is an excellant author. he has written so well. his book is so easy to understand. there are not many Qs from histo but i have found that its vital for getting proper understanding.
there is still some work left of respiratory. i still have to listen to one goljan lecture. and i still couldnt understand the Graph questions.......
tomorrow i will finish physio and try to finish path. plus goljan lectures. inshallah.
now if i can start getting library on time.....

hey malik ,
happens to me all the time. i knoew it feels horibble,but that doesnt mean u kill ur self for the damage thats already done . u cant do anything a bt it now. instead of getting pissed atu rself ,make use of that time ,and promise ur self that frm tomorrow INSHA ALLAH u ll definetly b there at 8 everyday.
u can cover up 4 day by ,slepping a little late at night ,offcourse not too late orr ull be late in the libraray again.
read ur books fast today and wzout wasting time and taking breaks and i m sure ull coverup for yesterday.
u can do it
keep th good work up
