Medoc, what's for today? Ah, yes, the step 1 study freak-out. You should have heard me screaming earlier--scared the sh$t out of my poor cat  but screaming made me feel better  Oh, if you haven't been, make sure to put UW notes in your FA

You are welcome sweety!! I mean as Edie says, we have our own mind and its fears and worries that are enough to pull us down, we don't need to hear it from others as well!!!
But 76 and 84% !!!! Keep it up!! See it will get higher and more consistent from here on!!

Yeah, Med, I got those tripped out kinds of scores, too. But here's a comforting fact: UW q's are a bit harder than the real thing, which is probably closer to the easier types of UW q's. For now, just focus on the q's that 60+ of people got correct and compare your performance from those. For example, in a set of 50, throw out the q's where correct falls below 60%, then you're left with say, 30 q's. Of these, you got 20 correct, so your adjusted score is 67%. As you get more of the tuffies correct, factor them in, until you are including all q's

Hi medocuk, what is your plan for the weekend?
I have never told you this, but I really like your avatar, you have can in the floor, coffee by your side, I bet that is the way most of us are in one a point of the day, jeje.
I send you a big hug, hope you are happy studying like keepgoing says.

Medoc, you can do this!!! How long before exam is latest to request extension? Whatever that date is, THEN talk about that. For now, get your ass in gear! At this point, focus on high yield info and get it into your brain COLD. If you need more info on a concept, put it up here and we can all brainstorm it out I have seen this in the topics forums as well as in these journals, including yours. Remember our awesome genetics discussion about incomplete penetrance? Live, breathe, think, eat and drink your FA, Goljan and Qbanks. You can do this, Med. I know you can. And you will

Heyy Medocuk! For now do NOT think in terms of extension, just think that you JUST GOTTA DO IT!! and then a week ahead (or even just a day or two) of that date, you can re analyze. Like Edie says, if you got to get some facts to stick....discuss it out, can remember it better! You will do better than you think! I have heard getting cold feet is a common thing in this battle

hi medocuk... when exam is near it ometimes really gets inside your head... just keep working really hard... & you still have lots of time to revise the stuff.. so just keep on revising.. everything is already in your head.. differentiate btwn the fear of exam & being unprepared for exam.. I really think you are doing very good.. you just need the courage to keep negative thoughts OUT OF YOUR MIND & keep workong hard.. you still HAVE TIME... you can take NBME IF STILL NOT SURE take NBME & you get comfortable.. just take it... leave the results for GOD.. but study YOUR BEST>>> KEEP NEGATIVE THING OUT OF YOUR MIND.. ok??

I am back from a little nervous breakdown and almost wanting to quit it all. 4 days away from the forum, seems like a lifetime.
I am plagued by lack of confidence and guilt and shame and worry and anxiety. It is easier said than done, 'stop thinking of all that and just channelise your efforts'. I want to, but at times I have felt handicapped.
I was coming back to the forum to gain my inspiration and my determination, but seemed to be going down hill even more.
I am not doing well with the questions and that has been causing me a lot of panic. I am depressed after doing questions and I wasn't being able to concentrate on my my reading.
To think of the fact that I have actually gone through these book over 6 times in the last 2 years does not help at all.
Right now I have only you guys to thank for. I appreciate your support. I have been honest about my failures and my weakness here, when it is so difficult to do that in person.Inspite of it all all you have come and patted my back for my smallest of achievements and given me a push when I most needed it.
I am now back with what I think is renewed vigour. I so want to take my exam by August end but I don't want to be foolish. So I have asked for an extension of three months. I will definitely take my exam by first half of September. I am not looking to extend it, but I have done this for my mental sanity.
Again I want to thank you all for being here. I don't know how I would come out of this had it not been for you to check on me.

Edie: I have been studying but I have been very emotionally down. Completely lacking any confidence. Now I feel I am back in the game. Questions are killing me.
Shwe: Thanks, I know what you are saying and I appreciate your straigh forwardness.
Study499: I appreciate your confidence in me.Thanks I will keep doing this time I get 'em suckers. :P
Mytime: Yes in my mind I am still taking the exam on 29th. Who knows I actually might.
Kity: You are so right. Negative thoughts are a real killer. Thanks for your input. I am going to remember it.
Acintya: I was into my books alright, but the chin is just about rising now.
KG: Not really , but I am going to keep going. :P *pun intended*
P2B: Thanks, I love your confidence in me.
