zzzz it just seems that every ones children r gettin sick , mitty's son is also sick , well its good to know that u r back , i know a break like this is bad but i think u just had a good start , keep tryin.

well i think ur right about memorizin things along with the concept thing , doin FA is great idea , i have started doin that same but my plan is not goin so well with FA ...... im more concentrated on BS , it seems that i underestimated the subject .

with a month n a half left , a combo of FA + Qs + fast readin through the subjects ( note the sequence , concentrate more on FA & Qs ) while readin try goin through pic , figures , diagrams and tables , if ur usin only kaplan notes it should be east for u bcoz thats how these notes r designed.

well im not an expert and i havnt certainly passed my exam yet , but this is just and idea that might add up to ur ideas and help u is some way , so good luck

  #82

zzzz, welcome back. glad to have you back. aren't you lucky tohave your mom with you? now you can relax knowing that the kids are in good care and she can also feed you so you do not get korsakoff's psychosis and amnesia!!

it has been a tough month for me too. i will be postponing my exams by 2 weeks cos i am not done with path yet. my initial date was june 19th but that is not feasible. sad you had to stop but the brain is funny, you will be amazed at the volume of stuff that youcan still remember. recall may take a little bit but you will soon be back in the stream of things.

keep on trucking

hi i am seeing evrybody is in very good shape of studying now days i am trying too .

iam doing general pharma which i was ignoring since ever i don't know why? so today i started with that topic. nowdays i am studying with my instinct not following much of my on pad schedual yesterday i finished genetics part of bio.

it got lengthened unexpectedly but i did it with videos.

after finishing it i will do some more ch of neuro anatomy.

lastnight i did some qs from qmax qbank i got 73% but im not sure about the standard of qs anyway i feel good after that b/c qbank always discouraged me & my subscription of qbank is expired so i decide to do this new pool actually it is more ecnomical too .

good luck everybody.

today's day was total lost couldn't read a single word missed so many good chances of reading i think sometimes we do it delibartory i knew ican read this time but did't just wasted time here & there anyway the lost is lost i can't get it back i think this start happening when you are reading since so long that you become just insensitive about studies & try to avoid it.

anyway its not a good time to loose i am promising my self that i will try not to happen this again.

tommorrows target is;

ans pharma 2 ch

neuro anatomy ch.13,14,15

& atleast 100 qs.
