first of all thanks brucella2007 and smarty for your encouraging words.may ALLAH give us all power to pass this exam.

i am posting after 3 days as i got sick (high grade fever) and did not study a word. but at least by writing the diary i know how much time i have lost , otherwise you know..........

so today i just read 1 chapter of pathology , as today is sunday and i had to do laundry , cleaning etc , but still got 2-3 hours left before going to bed may be do some questions or listen to goljan.good luck to all.

today i only did 1 pathology chapter(skin) .and few questions...oh god i dont know why i am a slow reader.may ALLAH help me and all of us.(ameen)

  #9

its ok...some people read slowly and retain more ..others need to whizz over stuff 20 times...dont focus on your faults...believe me none is happy with themselves and there's always room for wishing for better! just remember that it was people like u and me, with all those academic faults who have struggled towards good scores...not necessarily perfect academic packages smiling face

thanks STUDY_ING &WAQASTARIQ for your support i really need that.

well i didnot study much on weekened just did 1 chapter of pathology and few questions but did one good thing that i made a time table for my studies , inshallah i willtry to follow it. good luck to all.


  #12

yesterday i completed the half chapter of musculoskeletal of pathology and did around 50 questions.i dont know when i will pick up the speed.

  #13

dont worry..it is very boring initially and that realy slows one up. if u have any friends to study with it would help. u pppl dont have to have combined timetables but even having someone sit there and study their own stuff is good enough...i hope u did 50 questions with explanations...thats around 200 facts revised ..not bad smiling face

  #20

i am very very depressed these days as i am not getting proper time to study as my husband is very busy in his office work doing work even at night also my son got ill so i had to take care of him.i dont know when i will get serious i really really dont know can not think of anyway right now and i know that i have lost my tempo for studying.may ALLAH help me.i dont want to give up and give exams atleast in jan ...i dont know that will i be able to do this oh ALLAH help me and all like me.(ameen)


  #21

Aiysha, hope your son gets well soon and you can manage how to keep your hours of study, you will make the way, good luck.

  #22

hello ayesha..belated happy b-day grin

i hope ur son's doing well now.

dont worry ...very few people have the perfect zero stress nonacademic life. the one thing u will have is value for ur time. i myself cudnt study whole heartedly for my exam but in retrospect, my bad experiences were my biggest asset...one keeps hearing how time is pricelss yet one never realizes it till uve had a tough patch. never lose hope in Allah.my prayers are with u smiling face



oh and please do start on goljan..he's funny, helps u retain and understand stuff, plus improves ur speed. u can aim for multiple listening as i did. since i cudnt manage listening attentively and taking notes down, i used to listen to his lectures whenevr i felt like it..be it half an hour before i slept or doing some minor chore.
