Good luck acemle.. Start w/ the hardest subject for you , take notes, practice w/ q's early in your review... work hard(aren't we all?) & you'll do great!!

dont think about the time waisted. It'll only depress you and make you feel like you gotta hurry and rush things. Its not the best mindset.

Adjust your daily goals and realize you're only human. You'll feel better and I think will accomplish more.

Hi acemle,

How did the qs go? i did little bit of CVS , without any qs yesterday, nothing today, but now i am at the library till 10pm, will try to finish as much as possible in 3 hrs, i know it is not enough . have to finish reviewing GIT & CVS this week. AND YES QS toooooooo !!


best of luck to all !!

  #15

hi acemle , i am new to this forum , finished my second read , and started the third one with questions , having exam in 2 months , can i join u people ? need alot of motivation . best of luck ...

  #16

Well CVS is taking forever, i think that is Ok since most of the qs are CVS related. Have to finish Valvular heart dis & Arrythmias. did you guys just do it from Kaplan, I think it is not enough , what do u suggest acemle, cmdt-img or any other kind soul ????

cmdt-img, i think it is a good idea to combine IM & Peads. My exam is in 2 months too, & I too need a lot of motivation. Have to do 65 qs from CVS today .Hope to complete them.

  #17

well didnt do it , really got tired. Hope to do it tomorrow http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/templates/default...
disapproval I will try my best . (time is running out).



  #18

hi , agn and acemle u people r going great , we must keep our spirits high , the same way . well yes agn , cvs is too tough , i did from kaplan only , but it feels not enough . u.w was tough too , got 58% , bad score . but we must not stop , no time for depression and frustrations , must go on .

  #19

You are right , no time for depression, keep on going .

I will review the CVS qs & then do rest .
best of luck everyone.

sorry diary

havent been here for so long.just got busy with some work in the family. between everything else and studies, lot of time wasted.

must change that now.get really serious and plan my work and follow that plan.gonna write my diary progress regularly so i know where i stand.

help me god ,please and guide me through everything and give me strength to work hard and score good.im gonna aim for99 now.not that i'm a genius but i must study hard and i can do it.just read and understand everything and try to retain it in my porousdisapprovalhead from where things just seep out.got to block all those holes by practice, practice and practice.

i subscribed to usmle world ,..finally. but didnt have the courage to use it for 2 whole days.finally started with dermatology.will now move on to the bigger things probably obgyn nxt.gonna take 2 days to finish it.hope i can do that.no.. i will do thatnod
that's the way .i'll do it.i know if i keep too little work for myself i 'll end up doin nothing.so got to do that .everybody here is so mtivated and hard working ,i feel im the only lazy one moving at snail's paceshaking headso no lazing now, no looong breaks, and no daydreaming when studying.try to apply the concepts and understand them.

good luck to me .strive for a 99.its not easy but it needs dedication,committment and perservance and god's blessings.and god helps those who help themselves.so off to some serious work.best of luck.

will see u tomorrow diary

Hi acemle, good to see you back .
I wasted saturday,No i wouldnt say ..........wasted ............kids need their mommy too , so decided to spend the day with my beautiful kids & my hubby.
Today it is sunday, well half the day is gone , still on CVS , will try to nail things down in to my brain (if yours is porous, acemle, dont know what to call mine http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/templates/default...
raised eyebrow
We really need to concentrate & focus, u r right no time for day dreaming & do lots & lots of qs, ace, did u do Kaplan q bank? I am done with half of UW, scores are not good enough , cant even write them down, people score really well in UW , i am far away from those scores http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/templates/default...
shaking head

hey cmdt , i used Kaplan & CMDT for CVS , but not everything from CMDT, just few topics like, MI, Angina, & Cardiomyopathies & pericarditis.

Best of luck to everyone & aim for 99http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/templates/images_default/smilies/nod.gif
