My exam date is August 31st and I already extend it once, so I need to take it or I lose my money. I want to do a final revision of each subject, but I do not know how many days I should spend in everyone. I have used kaplan notes, BRS for physio and patho, HY for anato and neuro.

I have not read FA yet and I have not done many questions..I am nervous please tell what to do, thanks

yes DrChivago,
Take the nbme see how u score revise based on ur weak subjects and give solid studying time to it.u'll probably be done in 3 weeks and will have time for a quick look through weak stuff once before the test again. Make plans on basis of how u score in nbme don't think abt the money like i did.Money lost can be earned but not time.GOOD luck....sure u'll make it soon.
