you have to decide or set a time when to take your test. If you have Oct-Dec. frame you have to schedule it at your testing center within that time. No rush but if you like that center then schedule it early so the date that you chose will still be available.
anyhow...
Im still trying to go to that 10 hrs of study/day as of now but i noticed that after all your books & notes then doing a lot of q's at the end.. your review will make more sense.
GL to us..

Thanks musuq,
My review is going smoothly. I am doing more & more q's. i will start UW this coming Sunday. I try not to get overwhelmed. I am praying a lot nowadays & that's keeping me calm.
I believe that w/ hard work I'll pass. It's hard to do a lot of things aside from studying but at least family is very supportive.
Have a very fruitful day to all!

hi goodyear
im also trying to finish UW qbank until the end of the month.
however, im trying to stick to the books too, im saying to myself: this is the last time youre reviewing this!! maybe that will work, it has worked so far...
my plan is to finish micro and immuno until sunday, go thru all charts and vaccines once again, and do 50 randomized UW questions each day- which, as you will see the test itself can be finished in half an hr, but to review the answers is a pain.. but a must at the same time
keep having a good studying day

Good luck w/ Micro & UW alexaE! KEEP GOING!!
Saturday am... I still have 2 days to finish my Kap Qbank.. So I'll do the best that I can to accomplish this today.
Hopefully I can start UW by Sunday evening.
It's good to do questions.. It reinforces the things that we still need to focus on. Oh gosh how sweet it is to have that feeling of passing this test. I hope & pray we'll be in that position one day... Yeah I long & crave for that feeling.. So let's keep going...
Have a productive day !!

My God! What a Sunday morning!!! I finally finished Kap Qbank, today is my last day & I decided not to renew my subscription anymore. My result still needs a lot of revisions. i will study FA, Kap notes, my own notes, score95,UW & let's see what happens. i still have 4 weeks to go .
Gosh this needs not to sleep at all isn't it?
I will focus more, concentrate more, not to do anyhting except to read read read & read...
This pm... I will start reviewing Physio Kap & FA. I missed this from doing a lot of q's. i haven't done a 2nd read on this one in my notes & FA.
Be positive, myself... I can do this.. i can do this...
May He lighten our minds with dificult to grasp & hard to study high yields!!! Amen..

Goodyear, you are just doing great, keep up the hard work and best of luck for the nbme, according to this I think you will have a better idea where are you standing now. FA is a great tool for the last month, at least that's what step1-done's always say. Have a great week buddy

Family responsibilities done for the day, wellnot yet really, still have to review my other kid w/ division & spelling before going to bed. it's 7:30pm here in my part of the world & have to be fast w/ Physio review.
One good point that I observed... When I was doing Qbak kaplan, I was always very frustrated w/ what I'm getting but I noticed that after reading the explanations of all the right & wrong answers you'll get to know what's impt., what's high yield when you go back to your books/notes. I skip the topics that I thought was not even touched in all the q's I am doing. There are disease that I was not familiar w/ like Leigh's Dse., that i have to go back to my notes or research thru the internet just to give me an idea about the topic. Also i noticed when it comes to I Cell Dse. i always get the q' wrong.. that again I go back to my notes & research... It makes us strong when we always read, do q's, read, do q's so HANG IN There guys, myself.. we'll beat this test SOON!!

Okay ending my morning early today at 11:00am coz i have an appt. Got to take care of myself too.. right?
Anyway i did patho q's & got 65%. Not satisfied yet so will work harder on that since it's the bulk of the exam. I'm trying to finish my physio. I read Cardio & half of Endo & it cleared some of the concepts that i can't understand. The basic stuff.
Oh well, i'll go to barnes & Nobles after my appt. & will continue w/ FA Physio.
Have a productive day evryone!!

I did not write journal for few days. My low scores are bugging me down & I only have 3 weeks .. I stopped counting but can't help it. i hope to make up & feel better soon. my nervousness attacks & it's not good at all> I hope to do more this last few weeks. rereading is not helping me. I will stick w/ q books/UW/score 95 q's. I feel like a crap these days....I hope it will pass..& I don't like it.

It might not be a good idea for me to extend mytime because I'm sure I'll forget more of the stuff. i have been studying for >6mos. & I think I just need to focus more & not let a day pass w/o studying.. Yes.. I need to have more self confidence & to think more positive. I'll see how my nbme result goes..
