I study full time... cant push myself more than 8-10 hrs per day.. some times only a little more

Keep studying sima, that,s the key make the most of the studying time
today my target is 200 Qs of UW and few chaps from peads...
I am not goping to stop doing UW, regardless of score I get... I will still do 200 Qs today

Thanks sima
didnt study this weekend, wasted 2 days 48hrs  had some of problem with broadband connection too.. I know that not the valid reason to skip studying
When I say I do 150 Qs that means no studies except UW that day...
3hrs for 3 blocks +2 hrs for explanations of each block [ i am very slow reader]
so it comes to 9hrs approx of UW.
PASSING USMLE will definitely make our lives more easier... well keep pushing yourself a lil more.... u'll defintely achieve the target...
Good luck!
keep studying
