hey guys

a quick comment i m in a little hurry ,
i ll write in dataill later, but just wanted to say is that pharma shdnt be done right in the beginning , cz everyy one says its a volatile subject and it just flies away frm ur brain ,many of my friends who just gave the exam ,and good reall good marks, they all say that ,and many ppl onthi sforum too say that .
so my choice wud be immuno and micro.
hope to see u guys soon. majority wins so dunt worry ,we ll go wz the flow

take care

Thank you so much for your advice.

  #179

Hi friends,
I too agree with seem's point that pharm is a difficult subject to retain in our brain.
But it is a wise thing to go through the notes at least once so that a last minutes booster will have the desired effect, so to speak.

Wish you all a happy fourth of July holiday.
Love and kind regards to every one in the forum.smiling facesmiling facegrinnod

Hey guys

Not a productive day today. Was stuck with some family matters and could not study a word today. So still on chapter 13 sad

Will report progress ( hope not failure to progress ) tomorrow.

well MAY ALLAH HELP US ALLL.

cya soon guys ,just pray that we all r done wz this biochem quickly .

GL and happy studying and enjoy on 4th of julysmiling face


  #193

Hey seems , it is almost impossible for me to study on the weekends when every one is home ,so I could not make any progress today , as expected.

I am on chapter 14 and genetics is still untouched. During the month of July , while I have guests in my home , I know it is impossiblel for me to do more than one chapter a day , no matter how hard I try. So please guys , feel free to move on to immuno.

I know I would not be able to finish biochem and genetics until 14th of July shaking head

I don't know how will I manage to keep pace with you guys. For the time being this is the maximum time I can put into my studies and I do not want to just read thru a subject and do not understand it .I don't know what to do????confused

Hi

I am also a graduate of 1995 DMC, Pakistan. I dont call myself very old. You can call me senior or experienced...this sounds positive and encouraging and it feels that i didnt waste my time while i wasnt in usmle circuit. I have just decided to study from today and inshallah will attempt it in may or june next year bcoz i am working 7 hours and hardly get 7 hours of study time a day.

GL to all and remember me in your prayers

Thanks

Friends:

I concur with continuing with Immuno/Micro. Of course I am biased as I have lagged behind in biochem to date. My research entails immuno and molecular biology so I feel confident in making up the difference. In fact Flow I'm in your neighborhood with biochem. LOL....the Tour de France just came to mind when comparing the different stages (subjects/contents) for usmle prep. Sigh.....if only for performance enhancing substances! JUST KIDDING!

Best,

DG

Still struggling with chapter 14. Have one more hour to study and hopefully will finish it tonight. Better go back to books now.

Bye for now and remember....... WE CAN DO IT ...... nod nod nod
