hi

i think i got to decide on number of pages to be done each day
record my output at the end of the day
that way i can concentrate more plus do more
so today's aim to do 100 pages of crush
cool

  #12

hi

not done as planned
will try again today
need to be more focussed &consistent
all the best

  #13

oh

i am being very slow
i wish i could do things fast
shaking head

  #14

i am actually fed up a little bit with my speed
i need to be really quick
i should see my hour by hour progress
else i keep sitting there on one topic
then loose the connection
still doing crush
completed 40 pages
nothing retained
got to increase my concentration
be more honest with myself
not let myself be stressed out unnecessarily
got to stick on
until done with all the steps &land into a residency at my no.1 choice

  #15

today is wednesday
ok
try completing crush by friday
then start second reading

med-5days
peds-3
obg3
surgery-4
psychatry-3
that means
till may end???
or should i start uw
but then scores may not be that good
ok,take time to think
it is important to do kaplan thourghly first

  #16

ok
anew day
let me see how i do today
will post progress in evening
all the best

  #17

If u plan to do UW topicwise, its better to do 2nd read alongwith UW over a span of 2 months.

Another way can be combine 2nd read kaplan w/ Qbook, then 3rd read w/ UW, if u have plenty of time.

thanks 3535
i think i will go in for 2nd read with q book
then uw alone
then other revisions
this will build my stamina for the real exam
this is just a plan
wonder if they are to be true
but going to do all that is possible to acomplish it
sometimes i wonder of all thoses who have to do multitasking for this test
for peole like me who have got just to study no excuse is allowed
so better for me to achieve these small goals for they are a small step towards the big one

  #19

hi
done 30 pages
now on 70th page
will do more at night
post in morning
good but not best


  #20

today on 76 page number
had thought of finishing crush by friday
so if it is not today then definately tomorow morning
will be done
i kind of like doing same book twice before moving on
but can never follow this
wish could stick to it
will improve my retention manifold

  #21

  #22
