Hi tolito

Thanks for asking. And thank you for your care.

I am feeling really tough now. I am trying to MEMORIZE FA, but it is touch cause you are cramming so much info in so little time.
It seems that I forget everything during the study, but when I come to qs now I find them so easy, it is like an instant reflex.
I don't know, I might have to study the day before, but won't study that late.
It is importnat that you take the pills starting right now, this is like a marathron, the last part is more difficult, so don't feel too bad if you got some troubles in your studies, it is normal.

Best
Will do good!

Good Job! nod

thanks
Waiting for my score.
Got a weird feeling:
When I score high on Qbank, I feel I got 50% Qs wrong.
When I score low on Qbank, I feel I got all of them right.
This time I marked 6-7 Qs per section, leaving 10 minutes for each block.
I feel the Qs are fair, some of them were like: that is it?
30% are 2-3 lines with a straight answer.
40% are classical drugs + diseases you will recognize from busswords.
20% you have to think about it.
10% you are not sure,
But I don't know if I got easy Qs or I am doing poorly.
So this is a weird feeling which I never had.
I don't know what to say,

Will do good!

  #121

You have done your best. What else can you ask for? I am so proud of you! Congratulations. Take it esay now. smiling face

Thank you very much nan, for your sincere support and encouragements.
I really appreciate you and all friends that supported me all way along.

The TEST is same to NBME in terms of difficulty + Length+ Format.
It is different to Qbank.
I would say Q bank is really good for learning and reproducing remembered material.
But Qbank score is not really related to your test performance, NBME is.
So don't worry about Q bank score, use NBME to evaluate yourself.

MEMORIZE FA 1 week before your test,you will regret if you do not know it cold.

Will do good!


  #123

Thank you for the advice. Take care.


  #124

thanks for your advise wey. i am now paying more attention to FA than i used to do. it is beside me and i check it out for every topic i read. i get what you describe about the feeling one gets after answering questions. anyway, it is done. move on and study hard for step 2 if you have not done it. you have certainly done GOOD.nod
