Thank you Smarty.You are so good to me.
o.k This days I am a big mess.I am woundering what I was doing all this time.Only 17 days left for the exam and I feel like I know nothing.Now it is 9:45 pm and I hope to stay up till 4Am.
I am doing behevioral qs from steps 123.After that I will continue reading physiology renal system.I do not know wheter I am doing the right thing but I have decided to read kaplan books till the day of the exam.I drunk on cup of strong coffee and it is making my heart beat dance.
Holly Mother of Lord p.s help me.I have no one to turn to, except you and your Son.

and please do not compromise on ur sleep, and try to straighten out ur sleep cycle..dunno how far ur exam is but a week before atleast make sure u do something so that ure awake in the mornings...an 8 hour exam is tough to take when sleepy

Thank you study_ing.I wish you a very nice result.yes you are right about the sleep pattern.I have already scheduled my exam at 10 am b/c at 8 am I might be sleepy.
Yesterdey night I did 110 q of behavioral scince and read renal physiology from kaplan.Today I only got time to listen part of renal pathology from golijans lelcture b/c there was no one to help me with the baby.
I just put my baby to sleep so the day started now for me.It is 8:52pm.I will continue doing renal patho from golijan and will do some qs.I will not drink coffee.Yesterday I drunk 1 cup of strong coffee and my son was up half of the night b/c he got his share through breast milk.
I want this to end.And ofcourse I want a happy ending badly.

oh yes baby gets his share from the breast!!!!

you are right on course mitty. just keep on with your determination and your reading rhythm. yes it will be a good idea to start to correct your sleeping pattern so that you are awake during hte day and sleeping at night. better still from next week, do not take any afternoon naps. the naps stopped with little effort on my part cos i was so wired up!!!

i also read kaplan all the way in the last 2 weeks. find time to read thro your notes.

good job mitty. am so happy for you with your nbme score. go over FA several times now. try and read thro all kaplan notes. take is one per day and select sections from it. you will not be able to read them all cover to cover but it is a good thing to look thro. then take time to read thro your notes (if you made any). think about stuff you tend to forget and open a little book for them. take this book along to the exam.

yes leave all to God.

you will cetainly score the best and you deserve it.

Thank you tolito.I will take your advice.
Yesterday my brain refuse to take any thing so I took half of the day off went to bed early.Today I will read physiology and some micro.
I have to be strong and also fight the negative toughts which come to my mind every now and then.My husband always tell me if I fail this exam it will not be b/c I don't know the qs but it will be b/c of my attitude.I have to work on the psychological preparation too.I have to belive that I am going to recive a good score.
Gl to all of us.

mitty, you have already proved that you can do it with your nbme score. it can only get better. trust me. i have been there before. i did not think i could do so well but i trusted that God would do it for me. i doubted myself so much that i shifted the exam uncountable times. at the end, i live to praise and thank God.

keep your gaze focussed on Him.

Good luck mitty.. You can do it! Great nbme score! If I get that score I will take the exam right away!!

  #119

Thank you robin khorshid and goodyear.

I just put my baby to bed and I will read some pharma from FA.Yesterday I was anxious and I was having panic attack every now and then.I even posted for an advice in the support forum.The best advice came from my husband.He remined me that passing this exam or getting great score is not a necessity for life.It is additional thing.I have to be concerned, not in pain or in panick for this exam.

These are necessary for life:

Knowing God,Having My family, my husband my beutiful son and the kids I am going to have in the future, roof over my head, and bread on the table.

After thinking about the bare necessities of life I am calm and I am reading with out my heart jumping to get out of my chest.And I wish to stay calm till the exam is over.It is just an exam mitty!
