Hello freinds!
i am starting preparation fr Mle step 1 ....... will be taking the exam in april........ most probably april end... still havent taken the dates.....
i am starting with biochem and have completed 7 chaps frm the beginning..... i have read these and familiarised myself but i dont know wats teh key to remembering these things..... It appears so volatile and scares me to hell......... I pray to almighty to help me remeber thsese things.........
also studying HY anatomy as i found a few interesting questions in the forum about which i didnt know the answer....... instead of just checking the answer i completed the whole Upper Limb (anat).... a sort of distraction but i firmly believe.... it wont go waste.......
i will complete Upper limb fully frm nat and then will go on to Bchem and do the next 2 chaps tomorrow .... thst chap 8 and 9....... also will try to check some FA....... if i do 2 chaps daily frm today by sunday i will be able to atleast do quite a lot of Bchem....only that it appears too volatile..........revision is the key and i think solving questions.... God help me.........

  #2

hismiling face

i am agree with you. i think this exam is blend of concepts and memorization rolling eyesand how to deal with it? confused i think reading plus doing questions everydaygrin.i know its hard to keep bothof them in balance as i am trying hard to do both but still not able to keep them in balance.like last few days i was just able to do question in whole day (by the way my whole day is just 5 to 6hr for studysticking out tongue)

From 2marrow i promise myself i will read text and will do qestion also.

2marrow target:CNS PATHO GOLJAN first i will do q from robbin review and then i,ll read chpcool

UWQ: atleast 25 or30.(if i spend 5 min in reading explantion it will take 125min/150min mean around 2 to 2.5 hrs ( it took me 4hrs i don,t know why but its true)maybe i am slow readershaking head.

Chief let me know your progress keep writing even if u are slow in studies nowadayssmiling face

one day you will be back on ur track no matter what happen keep in touch with your primary goal.

BECAUSE

Its matter of DO or DIE

Time is flying!

always looking for best

GOOD LUCK
