Hi Everyone,
well, this forum has already helped me a lot in my preparation,
and some of you have been an inspiration to me (without
knowing it).
now that my exam day (July 24th) is approaching i need some final
advice.
what i have done is
BC - Kaplan LN (read just once)
Behavioral - Fadem BRS very thoroughly, done all the qs
Pharma - Katzung (the Review not the short book, same as above)
Microbio - Levinson/Jawetz (same as above)
Physiology and Anatomy - NOTHING
(i am a 3rd year med student in germany btw)
Patho - listened to Dr Goljan, looked things up in BigRobbins, planning
to go through Dr G's notes
of course i read FA and made many many many notes in it.
and many many questions:
i have some old (3-4yrs) kaplan cds from friends, and i have already done 900 or so kaplan qs. i have done the BC qbook and plan to do all
the qbooks (2004). i have done the LWW free 350questions. some 5 block or so from exammaster. almost the whole webpath. and of course the usmle cd (so far just block 1 - 43/50). and the examinations from katzung and levinson.
my results are ranging somewhere between 70% and 80% but i don't know how much this predicts about the actual exam.
this is what i am scared of. please give your opinion. should i do NMBE and if yes, what form? (because if i do it, i will do only one.)
altogether i must say that i did not spend loads of time on this . i have started thinking about it long ago, but i only started serious (whole-day preparation) a few weeks ago, because i have been working on my MD research thesis very intensely...that's why i am so scared when i read people prepare for 8months 8h/day... i probably will have a total of 2months... should i FREAK OUT?
any comments/advice are greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Jana
