Hello bipasha
There is nothing to tense about, the purpose of group study is to ease the tension of each other by helping each other.
Tell me what are u reading in microbilogy first and from which book.
How much have u finish till now. what are u reading nowadays.
my e-mail is a_khatri@hotmail.com
we can contact with each other though the e-mail or through this forum(as your wish)
SO don't worry its a revision as u know
GOOD LUCK

Hello again vogon77
As my concerned u should take ur studies in system wise, i mean that u start with one organ system and do its all parameter starting from embryo to pharma. I will help u lot to understand the system and by doing this u feel satisfy with ur studies.
Before starting this i should suggest u read all general thing about parameters (i.e. embryo to pharma) of organ system this will help to understant the special organ system.
I hope i giving u the answer that u asked for.
AND after finishing one parameter let suppose phsiology of cardiovascular system do its MCQ from Q bank or any other MCQ book to judge ur knowledge.
This develope momentum also.
If u want we can help each in studies if any one of us stuck in a topic.
HOPE i am right about ur question and give the right answer.
GOOD LUCK IN UR STUDIES AND DO WELL IN IT

Hello drkanagra
:? It hard to tell, which subject is to start first but its easy to start with interesting one.
I would suggest u to do in the following was and this also the sequence of kalpan home study kit and it seem to be working good( so it is not creative)
Biochemistry Kaplan
Microbiology (Ridiculously simple or Kaplan)
Biostatistic and epidemiology
Embryo general Kaplan
Pharma general (BRS or Ridiculously simple or Katzung)
Phatho General (BRS)
Behavioal Scinece Kaplan
Organ system ( cover all topic about one system i.e embryo to Pharma)
I would suggest BRS for patho
Cardiovascular Kaplan
Respiratory Kaplan
Renal Kaplan
Neuro Kaplan
Connective tissue Kaplan
GIT Kaplan
Reproductive Kaplan
And and the finish of each topic for the system don't forget to do mcqs it will keep u on track and it give u an idea about the usmle question.
Initially sit as much u can then progressivly increase ur study time
I hope it is
GOOD LUCK

Hello drkanagra
This nice you have got ur kaplan note, can i aske u how much cast u just curois.
Look usmle need practice to success and mcq in kaplan notes as just beginig of that practice ur have to do lot more than that the more mcq do the more u improve ur self . SO it is not enough u should get aother books and cd for MCQs with explanation.
I have plan of USMLE in june.
