dipti, you are doing fine. remember to celebrate every little success. 100-150 q a day!!! wow. i do 5oq every other day as it is even though i want to do 50 daily. i just do not have the time to do them and evenif i did i am so tired, iwould probably not answer them corectly.
never mind being back in your schedule. it is only a guide and not your slave master!!!!
keep it up

thanks aisha,tolito,malik,hodgkins for yuor supporting words.
hodgkins,i never consider helping anybody is waste of time and really she is my beloved sis,poor thing managing job,pregnancy,my niece,everything.thats why i want to finish this exam till june so that i can be with her when she needs me the most.
thats true,family is source of happiness and i am lucky to have osme of them here
but,the day i came i slept the whole day,it was real waste of my time as i gave some excuse to myself to sleep so monday was a big waste.
tuesday-finish antiinflammatory and virology.
read 20 explanation from qbank.and boom!in evening had to go with husband for some imp work.
hey guys ,even i am doing 100 and 150 questions to practice to manage time,but really taking time to read explanations.but ite really helpful to me than just read notes.
happy reading to all.

you are right. reading explainations to questions is so enlightening and clears so many things. it also shows what topics are imp and how can questions be asked.
but it is still amazing how you manage to do 100-150 Qs with explainations. how much time does it takes. and do you read explainations to all Qs or just wrong ones?

Hey Dipti.. I saw your post in tolito's diary and thought you are going through some critical time in the prep. I have had so many times those moments when I was upset about my work ethics and inability with sticking to schedule... but the fact is only way to move ahead is burning the bridges behind. You can not think of yesterday..You can only think for today. You have a choice everyday to wear an attitude of color of your likings and fragrance you adore. So go ahead wear it and tell yourself its a new day and I am going to do what I am destined to do..be a doc..and get done with thise usmle exams..
Good luck..

thanks suma,you are that very important quote!!
hodgkins dear,i really dont know if you can learn from me anything because your preparation is much better and with speed than i have right now.....
thanks for stopping by tolito.
i couldnt write because i give NBME FORM 1 and i failed on that!!i felt beaten,hurt ,depreesed not by exam but by myself.its not the nbme,it was me not doing anything with right way.i really felt ashamed myself and low between all you wonderful,hardworking guys.i was not giving my 100%....test showed me that what i deserve if i am not gonna do it now.......so i started to study acc very low performance on nbme score report.i read FA first then kaplan notes,as my poor areas were behavioral science,biochenistry,basic principals,histology!!
and these are the subject i didint solved from qbank.......so i tried to solve them and read explanation along with notes anf FA.
i gave NBME2 yesterday ,got 410.its not a good score i know but i am happy at least i improved.but again i am low on behavioral and biochem and histo,so i am still worried!!but yes ,i am not letting take my fate in hand's of these boring subjects.
so today i gonna do biochem metabolisms!!
happy reading to all!!

hey dipti, dont be discouraged by your low scores in NBME. they are meant to help you assess yourself. i am encouraged by some guys who had poor NBME scores, went back to do revisionadn had 99. eg zerocool. read thro his thread again and you will be encouraged. the last 2 weeks are the crucial ones so be encouraged.
when is your exam?

Well, my way is to try to MEMORIZE what ever you read before.
Then do at least 50Qs per night accorind to your daytime reading material.
Don't read anything new, read FA along with your prep.
if you have 1 month to go, I would study at least 10 hrs per day and try to MEMORIZE whatever possible.

hi. its really devastating when we think that our prep is good but it turns out to not so. this exam is so tiring that one just wants it to end. so now your poor score in nbme must be very hard. but look at the good side that it was not the actual exam. it was like a rehersal. now you know what were the weak aeas so work on them & inshallah your score will be much better.
