hi sima,
i started with IM and paeds- started at 9 am till 5pm.Finished 1 chap each from IM and the corresponding paeds- 10 days.Night time i did either psych - 3 days, surg - 3 & obgyn- 2 days.( i finished entire kaplan revision in 10 days ) Morning hrs i tried to do some qs , that is before 9am.
I am not sure how many hrs i spend but 9 - 5pm was somewhat complete except for some short breaks.As u know its a difficult job with a 4 yr old.

this sounds ultra HY..PE..
examinee's thread "c) one strange thing is that I got several questions about the same topic (for example I got may be 6 or 7 Qs about pulmonary embolism as a diagnosis plus may be 5 more for treatment and pervention)."
