This place is eating up my comments. I had left a post some where in between and now it is all gone.
Anyway, the review is going slow and I am not at all happy. I have started with USMLE world question bank and it is a tad bit harder than the Kaplan questions so it isn't doing very well for my ego or moral boost.
But I am determined not to give up. I can extend my eligibility methinks, but I don't want it to come to that. I need to do this now.
I am done with procrastination. I am not done resigning to the fact that I cannot do better.
So mt first UW blokc of 50 I have got 48%, the average for that block is 53. I don't feel too bad as I have consistently getting in the 60's @ Kaplan Qbank.
But Micro/Anat are killing me. They have been the most neglected sections so far.
I have been reading Goljan and FA and doing related anat, physio, patho, pharmac, biochem,micro, immuno from Kaplan notes. Hence it is taking much longer than I had hoped but after this reading I can leave Kaplan notes aside and just conc on Goljan and FA.
I shall come around at some point. Thanks to all for dropping by. I hope all of you are studying. All those that plan to take the exams this or next month please start doing questions. They are a different ball game altogether.

hi medocuk... dont worry about low scores in UW... I have seen few ppl score really high even with low score in UW... the key is knowing all the info in UW.. stress on learning from it.. UW is the BEST... so just think about like this ... you have the best tool simulating real exam Qs... in sense of content of Qs & style of Qs... just learn learn & learn from it you will really improvee in your real test.... I am telling you this from my st 2 exp... just know everything from UW... you wont regret it

Medoc, I have been there and felt that on UW, same as you, even same scores! Refer to the first page of my journal, posts 8 and 11. UW can seem like a definite confidence breaker, but you WILL improve over time. Just keep at it, make the concepts in the explanations stick. Don't just merely read them, think about them. At the start, you may want to do what I did, and only focus on the explanations where 50-60% or more of other users got answers correct. This reflects the concepts most likely to be asked on the real thing, IMO, versus, say, something that only 17% of users knew about. Good luck!!!

You are right about the dates, Med, but consider this: you have done more reading than I did when I started, so I think your scores will go up faster. But you have to do lots of q's. Daily. Qs Qs Qs! Try and do a set first thing in the AM, study and read a bit, then do an 'afternoon tea' set  , then maybe another PM set. Your scores will go up

Hey medocuk, keep your chin up, have faith, your UW scores will get better, you have worked very hard for this, so keep going!.
I am also considering an extension I guess I am going to have to ask for one. Have you done NBME lately?
Good luck!

I agree, AC, no adding panic, we do that just fine on our own Medoc, looks like we are running neck and neck in this thing. Got you ammo at the ready? I am working on my aim We are going to annihilate this sucker, right? Right!!!
