Hello ppl

my exam is in 2 weeks and i am totally lost.dont know what i am reading.Just reading whatever is coming my way hapazardly.
I know its not right but i had lost 1 precious month in between due to some problems and now everything looks grey to me.Somehow i have covered the theory in last 2 weeks but Q bank (which i solved 2 months back) needs to be revised which i dont think i can do.

Guys pls let me know what if i just go through theory now /??? or i need to go thru the Q again?I had used the Q bank from CD not online.I have few NBME forms downloaded from the forum.You think just going through NBME will suffice?????

Few of my friends who appeared for step 1 last week were devastated after appearing for their exam...Q bank hardly helped it seems..I am utterly confused and freaking out as the D day is approaching.

can someone pls guide me ..

Thanks in adv

Hi

I would suggest you to go divide your day into two. In the first half you go through First Aid and just flip through your KLN charts and diagrams or any other text which you have read. If you have underlined anywhere just look at it. Try to review as many times as possible. Then later half of the day try to do as many mcqs as possible. Better to time yourself and do it on the net. NBME will not help you now and may shake your confidence. Its normally recommended 2 months before the exam. Also, reserve one hour of the day to go through webpath slides and CTs/MRIs.

DO THE MCQS!!! Read explainations of those which go wrong.

I hope this helps.
