here is some advice , dont do any Qs right now , just pick up ur kaplan notes and read through them relax ur self , dont do any thing but read , i have my exam in 21 days as well , and thats what im goin to do , read the things u think ur bad/weak at first and then go over the easy things very fast and then quickly go over the things that u feel u dont know , when ur tired of readin , lie down close ur eyes and try to remember what u read and then keep corelating information form different subjects, and when ur stuck on some thing , get back up , open the book and read that information . good luck , dont stress out , this can lower ur performance .

May take a half of the day off and relax, do something very different and follow with a good night sleep. Next day you will have your focus back which will compensate for the loss of a few hrs. If I had 10 days left, I would go thru FA with my notes and Goljan again. and then do a simulated exam as well. Good luck to both of you, Rody and Aisha2!

dear rody go thru ppls exam experiences and see how many of them were confident before the exam..hardly any!! this is an exam with loads of streess..recognize it to be so..and remember the latter is ur greatest challenge on the exam day. keep faith in God. 10 days is a lot of time. give 12hrs per day to studies and u still have 8 to sleep and 4 to spare..just dont give up. give urself baby steps eg im gonna read over 10 qs' EXPlanations..then see which subject u can take..its a lot of time and loads can be done..just have faith in urself

its supposed to be the most reliable predictor.. if u have done NBME qs on the forum they cud bias ur score though.. i havnt taken those tests but most ppl do end up very near their predicted scores good luck
