Edie: why embarased?
So I did some thing to boost my ego. I did 25 questions of unused Behavioural Sciences. I got a 72% I am a happy girl.
I have almost done Endo Physio. I think I will also complete GI physio before sleeping. I will try and do 25 physio questions from UW too.
Thanks Edie I think I am enjoying the blocks of 25 far more than I was doing the blocks of 50.

Medoc's rockin' tight and steady, woohoo!!!! Yes, half batches of UW q's seem to go down smoother than the full set of 50. But at some point, you should do 5-7 blocks of 50 to build up stamina. Don't do like me and let the stupid scores breakdance on your confidence. Just do it for pacing yourself, keeping up your energy, just as you would on the real thing.
I made that comment about the chai latte, because, well, I'm a coffee drinker, double-shot espresso macchiatos preferred (lattes are for wusses--esp tea lattes :P) So for me to order that chai latte kinda ruins my rep, know wot I mean?
Just j/k...ok, no I'm not Happy studying Med

Stop ur caffeine intake guys....unless u are planning to carry some with u to the test.
i'll be emailingin a bit. Take care. Great show with the 25qs. Btw I finished anat with Q bank like i said printing coloured pics from the book and doing muscle gps that were mentioned in that q choice rt. there from the website. It's helped immensely. rather than any book. Did batches of 25-30 myself.

Hi Medocuk I am glad to see that you are in a roll, good idea of doing 25 questions instead of 50, I will do that too!
I don't have a starbuck near my house, but I have something similar wich is called "De Volada", which means "In a hurry" or "Very Fast", and I am in love with the Mocha coffee!!, I actually had to cut down because I was drinking two large ones a day, and my waist was suffering more jajejeje.
I am going to ask for an extension on my Exam, it is the reasonable thing to do.
Keep it up! Bye

Oh I forgot to ask, doesn't the music or the people talking bother you to study at Starbucks?

Study499: I watched No reservations. Cute film. Yeah I seem to be doing OK in BS. It is all the other subjects I need to buck up on. 
Edie: Yeah I know what you mean. I haven't graduated from Mocha Frappachino. even the lovely ppl at SB are getting worried about me. :P
U r right, I shud build my stamina. But for now I really have to get cracking on these questions.
Mytime: You are doing well I get the feeling. You make me so proud man. I hope you had a good weekend. Ill await your email.m else don't worry about it. There is already so much to do.
Novak: Yeah that really has been helping me. You know 25 questions is only 30 mins plus revising them goes faster and I am now planning to do 25 questions every 5 hours So I shud atleast get 75 questions done everyday including revising them.
As for SB yeah some times you get very noisy kids which I cannot help, but most times the upper level where I go is occupied by ppl like..books laptops large cup of coffee..So I am generally good. Plus it works like a lib except it is only 2 blocks away..so..
Good luck with your prep. get cracking on those questions is all I can say to you.

Have done 50 questions from Kaplans have 86 % correct. I think I just got lucky with the block. All I have to do is 25 questions from USMLE world to come back to reality.
Anyway I shall retire for the night. Tom I want to do limb anatomy and musculoskeletal pathology if possible muscular physiology as well and continue with Pharmac questions.

Study499: I have stopped beating myself over bad days. Mine was kinda luke warm all of yesterday too. It is like a sunday syndrome but then i have a friday syndrome and a monday syndrome and a mid week wednesday syndrome. So yeah Im kinda done with all my syndromes. but the idea is not to brood over spilt milk and make the most of what u have.
For me coming back to the forum helps bring back motivation Or doing questions. Brings reality back home.
Acintya: I think I know these kaplan questions that is why I do well on them. But yeah they are working as good moral boosters for now. Hope you have an awesome day.
I have done 25 questions Kaplan Q bank Pharmac. got 20 correct. = 80% Ive had a good start. Will start with Anat next and start on the musculoskelatal system.
See you guys around.

Hi Medoc, you are quite the questions maven lately, keep it up! To echo Mytime, we got to scutinize out incorrects and shore up what we missed, and keep adding concepts to our arsenal of anti-Step 1 ammo

Glycogen: Well good planning. As long as you are studying, as long as you are studying.
Study499: Good I always love that happy feeling after a hard day at work.

Thanks A I plan to.
I have to confess..most days I can block off my distraction. But some days I just can't. I have been up for 4 hours now. I have listened to the remaining of goljan's lecture which wasn't even 35 minutes and read 3 pages worth FA. and I can't stop thinking of my bloody distraction. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Not now not now not now.
I need the power. HE MAN..ok and I admit I am going a little crazy. So anyway here is my renewed attempt to get back to my books.
