thnaks stp12006 for ur post,
ya optimism,i remind myself of it morning.
so so far doing physio,acc. to the schedule i 've 100 pages a day to read....no skipping,which is my genneral tendency.but it seems 200 pages of physio r too much.i used to think its not that diff.and a matter of fact it isnt its just small bits of facts and its asked so often!
ya so moving on with my project.may be do rest of physio a little bit latter but i wont postpone it at any cost.read properly and think positive.
today went to see the exam center,the lady was good,she gave us all the req. info.only thing is that there is nothing to heat up the coffee/tea and we r not allowed to leave that floor.i forgor to ask if books were allowed during the breakeriod or not.
anyway,thats the progress till now.
BE POSITIVE AND STAY CALM
38 days left

37 days,
yesterday talked to a friend who is in residency.she gave some very helpful info
1.USMLE is more abt endurance.its not like the exams we faced till now where we were tested on theory.
2.spend as much time as possible doing qts and mastering their ways.while doing see how u r thinking.dont bluff,if u dont know th e ans move forward.make a log book of mistakes an dweak topics
3.have confidence,we've given more tough exams.just watch ur stamina and productivity for 7 hrs.
yupe so i shifted the amount of time i was studying in doing qts.coz really repeating the same thory topics again and again ,thinking i dont rem them is a waste of time.i 've only 37 days now.so doing the diff. topics and keep practicing qts.
keep ur morals bloated ans spirits untempered.

Smal!
I agree about doing questions! You probably get more out of doing questions than just reading at this point. What questions are you doing?
Anyway in the end wanted to wish the best of luck!
YOU CAN DO IT!

thanks prep4step1,keepgoing and mytime.
ya qts,qts all the way.today i just did NMS,but the CD wasnt good.i couldnt see all the ptions.but i still did it.it didnt have answers so didnt help mch.and there were some really weired qts.
turns out i need to wrk more in histo.
my mum wanted to visit me,she thinks she'll take care of me and all.but i've become so adjusted right now.she was disappointed whn i said no.what to do,life does change after marriage.
36 days ....am trying not to think of days and just do qts and improve my thought pattern.
be afraid and stride ahead.

thanks step12006,musuq and mytime for ur encouragement.
ya since the time i've started doing more qts am feeling i am not reading enuff.but doing qts really helps integrate stuff.1 month sounds so short,but a lot can be done in it,if we use our heads right.so rt now am telling myself that i've read all this,just be confident .and REMEMBER THINGS!
35 days.

bought UW after a lot of confusion.
stuck to micro.want to take a break tomm to do some other sub.but its gonna hurt badly.revision is such a pain,it makes me realize how my Vision was!and whn we r talking abt micro am doomed.i was reading MMRS and realized i already knew the imp points,coz 've done Q-bank and they were covered there.
anyway,toom will be no day of excuses.micro to be blasted.

Hi Smal,
I have been following your Trackbook since 20 days now. You are doing a terrific job and are definitely one among the people from whom i draw inspiration daily.
I wanted to ask you some advice/suggestion on doing Pathology. Right now i am listening to his audio and i am struggling to decide on the book( BRS/Kaplan/Goljan 339 page review with questions) i should follow. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this. To give you a sense of my position pathology is the last subject in my first revision ( which included kaplan videos) .
Thanks and good luck

thanks v2k for ur encouraging words.
goljan lectures r ultimate.i 've heard BRS and Goljan are almost the same.(i've been doing goljan and kaplan)goljan is more point wis and BRS is i guess more paragraph wise.so depends on ur preferance for books.but after 2 reading from goljan's 339 i found it too exhaustive and now sticking to kaplan only,with few points from goljan.what delima u 've is the same for most of us.so dont worry.trust me if i say go on listening to goljan and reading either goljan/BRS and after 2 readings (max) u wont've any prob.hope my suggestion helps u.
its not too many days now.30 days.i didnt do a good job with micro.the pathogenicity .....offfffff
well am trying not to get disappointed.i think rest of my subjects r cool.today thinking of doing all Q-bank micro qts again.and keep it for revision oce again bfr exam.if i cant understand ,i'll memorize.something is better than nothing.and pharmac and micro i find more of memorization.
so for today micro qts and Goljan Lectures.tomorrow will do pharmac.

thanks guys for ur words,
days r passing by.ya i start doubting myself..like today whn i did UW.qts r good and very few overlap with Q-bank.will do it faster,not many days left.
last week was a havoc for my hubby darling,he is so concerned about my mood as the weekend is approching.i luv that man.
am doing pharmac,whic will be over by today,next patho.have to lick the sub uside down.my memory is really short on malignancies.cns ones !the block of UW that i did had half of them and it freaked me out.one thing although i find strange in UW is that they dont consier many ptions to their qt scenario.
kepping up the fighteing attitude and a will to crush the smaller ME.
persistance is the key.its easy to get depressed but more diff to fight up the situation.
revise and revize.....

since i was falling short on studying sujects and couldnt compleat pharmac,FA still remaining.i hought of doing only 100 qts today.
really calming mind down has such a big effect.
need to quicken my pace and complete it by 9th.will give NBME then.
dont fear anything,the known and the unknown.u can conquer the world.the difference of man to man is in attitude.beleive and make the effort.win dont thrive.
