I start this journal because

1- I need u to be structured

2- I don't wanna feel like I'm the only one taking it. I need to share my knowledge and share how I feel.


  #2

After a break of 1 month and 2 days of unsuccessful studying tomorrow will be a new day that I'll catch success. 4 chapters of physio...with good understanding...


  #3

good luck in your journey - its great that u have started a journal - i've been thinking of doing that for a while but still haven't gotten down to doing it. i guess it makes you more accountable and regular in your study schedule. what are u doing in physio? may be we could discuss Qs in physio on topics that u have covered - i'm done with physio.

is this your first reading? when do u plan to take the exam and how much have u covered so far?


  #4

Thanks Zenith esp for joining me. Good luck to you too. I'm planning to take the exam on Dec06. I'm reading from kpn my first reading from it. I know the subjects bcz of my studies before. Today studied general principles. I'm planning to study more...

I would love to discuss physio Qs with you.

Cheers

good step you have taken tyler to write down what you plan to do. december looks like a whole long time away but dont be deceived, time flies. will advise you to set out a time table and a study plan. you may not neccessarily stick to it but it gives you an idea of how much you can realistically achieve. then, aim for 99!!!!

Hi Tolito,

Good luck and cheers,

Tyler

Thank you Rouadefoc for your best wishes.

Physio goes slow and it needs understanding. One of the toughest subjects for me.

Good luck and cheers




  #9

Physio is tough. I'm too slow. I won't give it up. I'll get used to it, guys. I'll study more.

  #10

welcome tyler, yes physio takes time but when you understand it it's much easier. study everyday as much as you can. Good luck!

What I did today?

2 more chapters in physio w/o Qs of the last chapter. I fell asleep while watching the videos. Once in my life I want to take sth seriously w/o having stress.

I gotta solve the Qs now. I feel quilty.


  #13

cant blame u, me too work real hard ot to sleep watching it. Try to take a five minutes break when u feel sleepy.. keep a bottle of water with u n drink whenever u start feeling sleepy.. Its the only way I make myself not to sleep with lectures on. Hope it helps

Now I release some facts about Tyler....

  #17

1- Tyler can't study at home.

2- Tyler is not motivated in the library either.

3- Tyler is aware of the need for the high scores as a IMG.

4- Tyler feels so close to residency, wants it too much, but can't study as much.


  #18

I know how you feel... but keep it going. grin

The style I used to study my multiple choice medical exams was

1-Quick first reading

2-Qs

3-Marking where Qs are coming from to my book

Now I have videos also. When should I watch the videos? I guess before the first reading or in the second reading.
