I am losing confidence and the nerves for the exam preparation.I am having panic attacks..I am not able to revise kaplan and I have been doing hy anatomy only gross anatomy for now 3 days.So I have decided to do only first aid in the remaining 27 days...I am leaving everything to God now.I have worked hard for now 3 years for this step 1..and I have done my best.So if after all this,I am destined to lose again,I cant help it. DAY 27. todays targets.:::: patho chapters 20,21,5 q bank qs 100 micro 3 pages from FA. and I am doing only first aid now.Its a gamble but I dnt have time to do all kaplan series before 18th when I am taking form 3.

good plan malinda, since you don't have enough time to review everything, so first aid is first choice. I'm doing qbank and realized that FA covers about 70% content in qbank. Other members in this forum also recommend to read FA in the last days before the real exam. Try to read more 5-6 times and only some high yield in Kaplan notes. good luck

DAY 26 I am nervous.I am scared.I am uncertain.I worry all the time about the results.So this last month is just nerve wrecking. I am planning to do metabolisms today. atleast 50 qs from q bank. yesterday I did FA anatomy except neuroanatomy.Today I will do lower limb from HY and also may be 2 chapters from neuroanatomy HY.I know it will pay off if I did neuroanatomy from HY at this moment as FA is certainly not enough. Hmmmm and yes patho 2 chapters. a lot to do.But lets start and see how it goes.Plz God I am starting my day in your name.Give me strength and stamina. ---------------------------------- 9:51am done 10 qs from q bank GLUCONEOGENESIS from metabolisms --------------------------------- 10:46 am I have done 10 more qs from q bank metabolisms=GALACTOSE METABOLISM ------------------------------- 11:36 am finished 10 more qs from q bank metabolisms:FRUCTOSE METABOLISM I wonder reet,how are u going to keep all those metabolisms in your head till the exam.I know I will forget them tomorrow. ------------------------------- 1:06 pm just came back from lunch. I have done 10 more qs from q bank metabolism:GLYCOLYSIS ---------------------------- yes reet but the confusion is are they eating my brain or I am trying to metabolise them.I just hope they stay in me for a while... I did 10 more qs from q bank. metabolisms:HMP SHUNT...too slow ok 50 qs for today are done..I get so bored with monotonous studying.I think I will keep on doing qs.There is a stupid birthday party today and I just cannot skip.All waste of time. --------------------- 3:48 pm finished 10 more qs metabolisms:OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION AND ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN. My brain is all saturated now..phewww what a marathon.God plz dont let it all go waste.I trust you so badly. ------------------------- 4:34 pm finished 10 more qs from q bank.70 qs for today. no metabolisms this hour. now I wont be doing any more qs for today.In the next one hour till 5:30 I am finishing carbohydrate metabolisms.. ----------------
