Ok a new day here, rainy like the previous ones, I am still working on pharm, 14 days to go, I am trying to keep my mood elevated, it's not that easy, but I can do it, just 2 more weeks and then I can go outside among people, walk in the cool windy rainy days and live a life closer to what I like.

hi korshid... I know exactly how you feel, my exam is in 15 days!!! Sometimes I feel confident about getting good grades and sometimes I get scared and think is too little time left. I'm doing qbank now, I'm in 60%, with an av. of 75%. Planning to do nbme on sunday and after that review for the last time (hopefully, depending on nbme's grade). What do you think? What are your plans for this last days? Have u taken nbme already??? Well, good luck to US!! and lets pray

Vallia thanks alot, I am trying:-), I hope for a good result.
Allymd thanks, yes that's how I feel too, except that I try to keep away from doubt or disappointment, and I don't plan on giving nbme anymore, I kind of know if I am in a good mental and spiritual mood on the exam day I'll do fine, and I don't want to put on extra energy and risk my confidence in these final days,
it's 7 pm here, I've done Qs in the morning, then in the afternoon I reviewed viruses, fungi and protozoa, now I want to work on behave...
We'll do fine hopefully, let's beleive in the best.

it's been nearly two hours that I can't study, I am just wasting my time, I have a lot to do obviously, but suddenly I am all upset and out of energy, maybe I'll go for a short nap and then start over...oh god please be with me.

we've all been through this. just a few days left and not studying, doing this and that but no studying. getting nervous, even anxious. YEAH, it is normal khorshid. i had the same both for step 1 and 2. soon it'll be over. you have been studying for the last 3 months and maybe even more ( well your prep diary is 3 months old ). you are WELL PREPARED even though you might not think so at the moment. just stay calm. try to repeat high yield stuff as much as possible but take also your time for many breaks on your final days. and RELAX. you will do fine. PROMISE. ;-)

Hehe... I think it is normal... same with me... sometimes I find myself thinking of when this will be over, losing my concentration... actually I havent been able to concentrate since last night... and its 2 pm and I havent concentrated today... maybe when what you really want is getting SO CLOSE, you start losing concentration, but... hey, now is when we need it most! Lets better do a greater effort so give the best for this final days... after all, SOON IT WILL BE OVER!!!

Hey falcon, how's post exam life?:-) I know you're busy with the rest of procedures, thanks for the support,( I like to beleive what you're promising me:-) ) yeah I know it happens for all of us, yesterday again I had a panic attack, because I realized I had forgotten all my immuno, a subject which I was good at in the beginning, but it passed.
Allymd you're right we need to be more concentrated these days, we need to use all those little neurons to be able to perform our best. Good luck with your studying:-)
Today I've been working on neuro, I am just so happy that I chose to do step 1 first, because I feel I am going to have a better time after this.
right now the cycle is like this: mornings are good and I work well, evenings I became anxious or depressed, so I start watching tv or surfing the net or wasting time in different ways, night time back studying again, hopefully today I can break the cycle and keep up a good mood all day long.
Ah by the way good luck to aisha,her exam is today.(was?)

step12006 wow thanks, I really wish that, let's see:-)
Allymd thanks, yeah just a few more, all I want is to be concentrated on exam day, cause when I am I do pretty well but if that bad side of my brain decides to take control, I'll be blank, as if my head is totally empty , but I am going to expect the best so that the best happens for me.
I wish u guys best of luck too.
Have done a lot today, still need to go over genetics, did UW Qs, should go over kaplan Qs and highlights in my books.
My mind is kind of messy and tired right now, I'll take a break.

two and a half days left till the big day, I'm going over my notes and I have a long list of important things to check for the last time, first part of biochem is still left to review, I didn't do genetic last night , but I'll do it today. but the important thing is that I'm still in a good mood and not that much stressed out, hopefully I'll continue this way and then boom, I'll be past exam:-).
