I graduated in 1993 in China. I clearly understand how hard for you to reach this step. Look up to you, I have no excuse complaining about anyting. Your surely admirer. You will do good!!

Hi Nan:

It takes determination.
I was really lazy in the beginning, just studying for the sake of taking the exam.
Later I realized the test itself is not that important.
I learned a lot during my preparation, which benefits myself in my future path.
You have to ask yourself why you want to take it.
If you know the reason you can set up a plan.
Just stick to the plan.
Your stamina is built during your prep.
I used to think I will prepare till I am ready for the test.
But it turned out to be you could never be ready unless you really wanted to take it on a certain date.
So it is not that hard once your heart is right.

Best wishes to you.

Will do good!

wey2002,

u r really motivated & r motivator for us.

How is ur typical daily timetable like.?How many hrs/day of quality studies?How many kaplan pages/day?

How much daily time for Qs & how many Qs/day?How many hrs sleep?

U might have piled up ur own notes by now.Do u revise ur notes alongside?

I'm asking these Qs, because for myself all these things r difficult to fit in 24hrs daysgrin!

My step1in June.

How is ur typical daily timetable like.?How many hrs/day of quality studies?How many kaplan pages/day?

Get up by 8am, do lab work till 6pm, study from 7-12,about 5 hours weekdays, 8-10 hours on weekend

Quality study, 3-4hrs on weekdays, 8 hrs on weekends.

That I did not count, about 10 pages per hour? it depends on how familiar the material you are reading.

How much daily time for Qs & how many Qs/day?How many hrs sleep?

at least 1hr, 50 qs in timed mode. around 7.5 hours.

U might have piled up ur own notes by now.Do u revise ur notes alongside?

No, I am not a personal note person, i think FA is the note you need.

I'm asking these Qs, because for myself all these things r difficult to fit in 24hrs days!

Well, if you treat it as THE important thing in your life, you gonna get the time.
If you do not think STEP 1 is that important, you will do the other things first in your 24 hours a day.

My step1in June.
Mine : May 31st..... 38 days left.....

thanks & Good luck.

Thanks, you too.
