So I after not to bright scores at the NBME I have decided to re-read and cram the super scorers. Namelky Physio Pharmac and Path.
I will be sticking to Kapplan notes for Pathology because after my first reading og Goljan and a gazillion readings of theKLN, I think the KLN with yield more points for the exam because of the direct information that is there while Goljan had made it easier to make associations. I am done with making associations. After all those questions one gets a feel of what happnes where and how and why. Now is the time for me to start getting nit picky and scoring some serious points.
I will be conquereing Goljan high yield and FA in the next 4 days and take NBME form 2 on friday.
I plan to revise the first 9 chapters from Path KLN
Physio:GI, general topics, Excitable tissue +/- Peripheral circulation.
Pharmac: General principles, Anti cancer, hematology and toxicology.
Of course do questions interspersed with each.
So let the day begin. I will be around your journals. been a while since I said hi to everyone. Hey Paheli..this is your official Hi to you. Thanks for your PM again.

yeah, hear what ac is saying. just one last burst of energy for the final sprint.......and then you're through. look at us poor souls, just beginning the beginning now. we'll make it too, but the finish is slightly more distant.
give it your all right now, ans you'll always be glad that you did! have a great read!

So I still have a back log but I have managed to get some work done. Been attacking Pathology and it is silly cos I can see all my mistakes I have made before and i am like DINGBAT if only Ihad remembered this before.
Memory seems to be an issue here. For the weak muggers like me, revision is the key but then I am not a hard worker so doing questions is a good idea but then not procrastinating is the key.
Hell I have missed my own wisdom along the past few months. but u know what I have the next 13 days. and I think I can make it in this time.
So here is a low down on my Kalpan scores.
Path 25/50, 28/50. 22/50 *gulp* 30/50, 38/50
pharmac: 30/50.
Physio i have run out of Kaplan questions so will start doing USMLE WORLD for those.
I know my weak areas which seems to be toxicology and CNS. i think I am going to be doing a lot of FA cramming from now on.
Physio calculations get me. theory graphs I am doing OK. Again remembering is problematic.REVISION IS THE KEY.
So that has been me the last 2 days. I extended my UW subscription by 15 days until my exam for which I have 13 days left.
Do god speed, wish me luck and good luck to all of u.
