hi hodgkins and tolito, i was really depressed as i was not able to achieve my target. i did my CNS 50% and then switched to Cell injury and Inflammation.I heard Goljan audio and saw a few Qs but then i was drowsy yesterday and got up today very late and doing the same target. Oh GOD ...if this is so then it is impossible to complete path in another 5 days. Give me strnghth!Thanx guys, lets see how it goes.raised eyebrow

FRUIT , dont get discouraged by this , these are the normal ups n lows , its normal to not achieve ur ful target specialy when u start studin , make routine like fixed time for wakin up and goin to bed , fixed time for evey thing and first try to follow that along with ur study and try to make small targets initialy , things start to change after a wk if u stick to ur schedual .......... just keep workin .

good luck

hey fruit,

that is life, ups and downs, good days and bad days. just say to yourself that this too will soon pass away. and guess what, it will pass away.

i do not always achieve my target and it can depress one a little. but we need to remember that they are targets and not punishments. they are meant to help us study. also once you set a target, it should help build up that little anxiety you need to feel the urgency and the little time available. just like aisha says, it takes a while to really get into the groove of studying so just keep on trucking. make small targets and increase them daily till you get to optimum speed. like a car shifting gears!!!

VROOOOOOM. nod

Today i am upto thrash left over CNS,GIT and NEOPLASIA.Still 3 more days to go.GOD only can help me out this task , of course u all r among the good spirits !

Hi tolito and 26malik...Goodmorning! and have a nice day.Well i do read the explanations too.I refer if i ve doubt with explanation.At present I am fixing with the subj which i am reading> pathology. Actually my target was to do atleast 150 Qs.I basically think that reading the whole lot of the subj then going with Qs is little hard job!nodSo i thought that ll built on the base which i ve from college.I feel comfortable with this way. Guys stick on to ur pattern, Different methods suit different people!coolI think once u do Qs u ll ve 1st hand knowledge in the high yield areas and ll save time in concentrating to the important!grinWell today i think i will fire pathos to some extent.Yesterday i did abt 70 QS and saw slides and a tutorial. I completed Neoplasia, could'nt do GITdisapprovalAccording to my shedule, today is my last day of pathology but i'm not even half way thrumadsadSo i thought ll xtend 3 more days and give a full throttle.
