I know focus is a big problem. For me right now I just finished the exhausting Step 1 five days back so is a bit of a fight to get back in to the mode of studying but I am trying. Doing questions kept my focus in Step 1. Whenever I got bored I did questions. I treated questions like a video game and then it fired me up to study more and beat them up again (the ones i got wrong)...lol...thats just me so maybe it might not work for ya.....but give it a try. Keep that studies going and one thing I have found important during weekdays NEVER miss a day without at least opening your books. During weekends....take one day completely off (at least in the beginning) and let that hair down. Kept me going. Take care and happy studying.

i started UW today i didn't do many q's till now,but i had to start UW so did it,also i was going in passive mode of study,well i think its good idea.i did only 1 block of psych today.scored 48%.am still in confused state,but still breathing not hyperventilating.....keeping later for exam. i really want to avoid going mad as i did for step1.anyways i am following footsteps of nithu ,i may not do as organised as she did,but i can try.i reallly wish i study at night for few hrs,i study only during day,get very tired,and wasted evening,can some kind soul advise me on this.happy studying to all.
