I just finished doing biostat chapter from kaplan.It is so embaressing but I actually read it for the second time after I listened to the lectures .So it took some time to refresh the knowledge.But I strongly believe,BS IS ALL ABOUT QUESTIONS.ALL THOSE WHO HAVE TIME,DO AS MANY QS AS U CAN FOR BS,U WILL FIND SOME DIRECTION.
now i am doing patho 3 chapters.

Well I hope he feels better soon ! And: it IS tough doing qbank qs in a timely manner - especially if you want to read all the answers ! Are your remaining qs mixed ? If they are, then you could try to simulate half exams - you know: do 4 blocks a day, timed, and then go through the answers. That way you´d be done within 2-3 days, AND have worked on your time.
But even if you don´t make it through all of them: I have met quite a few people that ended up finishing just 60-70 % of the qs, but still did well on their USMLE. However you do it: just keep at it !
Malinda, I know what you mean: it is sooo tough to go through with all of this ! But remember: you´re tough too ! And brave ! And you WILL do it !!! (I like your message at the end of your posts !) Just take this one step at a time. Try not to think about what would happen IF... That´s just going to drive you crazy, rob you of what little energy you have left ! It IS hard, but try to think positive, or at least not negative. And don´t forget that you´re not alone ! Aside from your family and close friends, we´re here as well. And we support you all the way. And pray for you. YOU CAN DO THIS, AND YOU WILL !!!

I FINISHED ALL PROTIEN METABOLSIMS...
I LOVE FIRST AID.Guys who have not touched first aid yet,THIS BOOKS SAVES LIFE.ITS A LIFE SUPPORT.you will regret if you didnot make notes on this wonder book in the start of your preparation.Right now during the last 11 days,I cant revise the whole kaplan series and FA is the best,for biochem it is a must.BUT YOU CANT "JUST" DO FA.Finish kaplan,goljan BRS whatever and keep reading FA side by side,take notes...so many notes that its pages start to bulge out..and last month do nothing but revise FA...

did 10 qs from q bank.today I am supposed to do molecular biology and genetics.So in metabolisms I am left with fat metabolism only.I will spread it out throughout the day...biochem is so BORING.
11 daysOh God.Save me plz.sometimes I think may be if I do more qs,if I revise more,if I do FA more times,if I listen to goljan one more time....DELAY OR NOT TO DELAY!!!cant decide.WILL I EVER BE SATISFIED WITH MY PREPARATION??

Hey Malinda...
You are doing great...don't get too anxious abt the Qbank- if it helps, I just ended up doing only 80% of the Qbank...couldn't finish all of it as I launched into it quite late into my prep...u can imagine the anxiety I felt going into the exam...
I agree that its a good strategy to keep doing the Qbank Qs + FA + Goljan in the last 11 days...doing questions will keep you sharp n' focused for those Qs in the exam...while FA and Goljan will be a good HY review for these days...remember you cannot revise everything .....so don't be too hard on yourself ...just stick with the HY stuff and your 'weak' areas.
and do read Busy Mom's post again...very positive n' encouraging...Hats off to her!!

thanx pal.I needed to hear from you,I wonder why is it like this...I hear encouraging words again and again and everytime it gives me new energy...I am so blessed that someone cares enough to write a few lines for me when I need it.God bless you.
Okay,now I am starting with qs again.Still not in a mood to do mol. biology and genetics yet .Happy studying all.
