dear friends i finally did it and I realy feel relieved. now about the exam, it was tough, more difficult than i expected, not only the medical questions but the stress of the event and the meaning of this exam for me... the first block -horrible, 2- difficult, 3-ok, 4, ok, 5-difficult, 6-ok, 7-ok. i had many anatomy questions, i mean like 50 of them, my worst nightmare, all kind of drawings, all nerve lesions, angiograms, ct-scans, visual lesions. brain stem ,also many behavioral question, ethics, doc-patient, weineberg, cohort studies, case control, PPD, not so many pharm and doable question here, a few biochem , PKU, glicolysis, FA oxidation, Mc Ardle, porphyrias, enzyme kinetics, many mollecular biology, really wierd question,some never heard of...mutations, histone, tipes of Rna, polymerases, modes of inheritance..path, i expected more here, I hope i did good at this subject, micro-the usual stuff, physio-almost all with graphics and up and down arrows...
my problem was the time which was not enough for me, i finished all blocks in a hurry, and i probably made stupid mistakes due to this. I want to give you some advices...everything you read you must understand, I found that this exam tested more the concepts than memorised stuff. second do as many question as you can because you must to be used to see the usmle question style and read quickly, and third be calm and rest a lot in the final week. all in all I left the exam, totally dumb, I cried then an hour cause I felt that i knew nothing, I don't know what i did, but now i feel better and started to remember the questions that i answered correctly. i hope i'll do good i have faith. guys this exam was so important to me, I did everything to do good but let me tell you life is more important and this is only an exam, so treat it like this, don't turn your life upside down for this, just study with all your heart. another advice would be to give the exam as quickly as you can, don't study more than 8 months cause you'll forget everything in the end, just do it when you feel ready
thank you for being supportive and true friends, thanks with all my heart. Now I'll wait and pray

Kudos u finished it buddy,
nw it is time to relax, whatever u could do u had done, nw let God do the rest. I can sense ur feelings, the stress u r going thru bs there were lots of times i felt we r in same boat. well all i can do for u is pray and i will do that.
really what u said is true,for people with avg memory, i think this exam must be taken in nothing more than 10 months, thats exactly what i too feel nw. if u can take it in 7-8 months well u retain most of the stuff. Oh God nw i feel so stressed. well Goodluck for a great score
