What are you percentages on Qbank? If you do not do this already, a suggestion is to take notes on all of the Qbank questions you miss in a notebook, which you should review at least twice a week. Write down the important facts that you needed to remember to answer the question correctly, and maybe why you answered it incorrectly. Also make notes on the ones that you got right but only because you guessed. Also, did you try using Goljan?

I know wot u mean,i failed twice too.And 2nd time my preparation was very good & even the people i was studying with was very impressed on my prep too but i failed.I donno wot went wrong and the worse is i felt like the questions were very easy the second time.so Maybe m thinking i don't understand the questions correctly.U know how they ask 2/3 step questions.its been 3 months since my failure,m so depressed still.When & how r u planning to start for the 3rd time .Keep in touch maybe we can help eachother.Good luck.

well guys I'm too 2nd time failure, and same thing here, was confident after giving my exam, bcz I didn't find it hard, and every thing was looking not simple but do able. I mean to say, the questions were not easy but when I was concentrating on it then I was getting them. I was also shocked to see my score. Good thing is that, I improved from first attempt but worst thing is that I didn't get thru. One thing more that, I know my BS was the weakest subject in every assesment tests e.g NBME or kaplan cd and pharm was in the highest or I would say strongest in those tests, but in the realk exam its up side down my BS is on higher side and Pharm on weak side. So any good suggestions are welcome. thank you.
