Hi Everybody,
I would like to join the group.I went through lisas prep journal which was inspiring.Considering the fact that these are very unstable times with the constant lure of checking emails and ERAS,i hope i would utilise my time productively here.
so guys , see you around.

  #16

Hi retail,How is it going? Thanks for checking on me.

Hi promoter. Welcome and good luck.

I had to break at the weekend coz of stuff going on. Before that I did about 150 qs on uw and about 6 CCS caases(just reading thro). Not at all a good score. Hope to pick up the pace this week.

I am not spanish. I dont know any ship called amygdala. Actually I like the name of the character Amydala in Star wars, but then picked up my current name due to its closeness to Amydala and its medical connection. That s all.

Today I plan to do about 100 qs(with answers), plus finish reading ans for 50q from last week. I think it is too much of a plan, lets see.

have a great week.

  #18

Thanks promoter-u are right-my brains getting fuzzy

Good going Amydalaa
I am doing UW but doing really bad on the qS. i AM CONSIDERING GOING BACK TO THEORY FROM TOMORROW. aND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE MY sTEP 3 PERMIT HASNT REACHED IN 14 DAYS AND THEY WILL SEND me a duplicate. [Didnt mean to highlight, but didnt realize cap locks was pressed].

  #19

Hi

last night my internet was down, so could not do qs. I just finished 250 qs. way behind. upto 10 ccs.

retail, my s3 permit took longer to come too. Atleast you have started prep before it is here. I waited until scheduling to start :-)

anyway keep at it............

Thats pretty good, Amygdalaa. Personally I am not able to manage more than 70Qs in a day.


  #21

Yes, I am giving the total mcqs in my posts. I am not able to do more than 100 on my best day. But that is ok since we need to read the explanation for the right and wrong answers. I am using uw as mostly a learning tool. So far I have not revised my s2 notes. I plan to soon.

70qs per day is pretty good. Keep going...........

Today I glanced over my notes and then did Qs Much better this way.

  #23

Hello again, retail, amygdalaa and Promoter, preparing for step 3 was full of distractions for me as well. But it is a relief to complete it. Revising CK notes is a bit of challenge when doing MCQs from UW. I tried to revise it topic wise before doing MCQs, but could not because of time constraints and also, since the material was vaguely familiar, my study was not really focussed. I got bored and did not gain much. Alternately, I decided to simply solve the MCQs from UW without regards to the score and then look up the concepts from CK while reading UW explanations. This way, I also felt that I remembered what I looked up much better. But some topics I had totally forgotten since my CK prep- like the definition of arrest of progress in labor, what variability of HR is expected of a term infant- the little details that we need to remember for the exam. Looking these up just before solving MCQs will make a big difference to score and confidence. Depending on the topic, I did a quick revision before MCQs or the MCQs rightaway or whatever came next. The important thing is to make the most of time and keep working I guess. All the best to all of you!

Yesday was a good day. I did almost a 100qs with explanations. Howz it going Promoter and retail?

Lisa- I noticed that he s3 forum is not an active on e like ck or step1. I was lost at the beginning, coz there is not much feedback. So it is very good to have you help us with your tips and suggestions. Thanks
