finally doing the last subject,psychiatry.thinking of doing it in 2 days or may be 3 and qts in the evening.
obgyn was ok,i didnt do much qts in it.i had lost intrest in reading the subject,i only wanted to do the qts.but i've to read it once rt,so forced myself to stick to the schedule but it took away the last day(sunday)i thought i could spare for surgery.
but will do surgery last chapeter on 1st march,i.e.if i give 3 days to pshy.
my sweet hubby has been finding colleges himself and sending requests for observership,ya its definetly not a fun thing to do.
lets see how things wrk out.
yet to apply for CA board letter.am not sure how good/bad is getting in J1.i mean nothing that gives u residency could be bad,but what future hassels does it involve coz some ppl i know were strongly advicing me against J1.but thats what is offered in CA.lets see still stime to think on that.

28th of feb,
all read once,except last chapter in Surgery and sats.whn i read ethics and stats i feel bored coz its all step 1.but i keep saying to myself that it was the sub. in which i scored the lowest!my performance line was way to left sided to be seen on the score card!
so i take a deep breath and start reading it .
gonna take 3 days break.will resume from monday.
starting qts from March.thats my plan for the time being.
march is for all qts-Q-bank and UW.and reading the subjects along with it.Do NBME by end of march/second reading of all subjects.then decide further.

today is 5th of april,my exam is on 16th of june.
i got the date i wanted for CS i.e. 14th july.didnt get any confirmation for observership,so whats the fun getting over exams early.CA is indeed a diff. place to get observership.as for other places,i've applied but didnt get any response as yet.never mind.
so the plan is am doing FA rt now.after doing UW and reading FA it seems ,kaplan is not a bad book afterall its only that the vastness scares me.
so plan to get over with FA by 15th april.that leaves me 1.5months.last 15 days will be spent in the complete revision.and regulating my circadian rythm.
after FA i need to read Kaplan agressively.re-read FA and my notes.start doing qts in 8 hr format after that along with revision of course.
i am refaining from looking into the forums,coz so many ppl post NBME qts without labeling them.
good luck to everyone

man,now i feel terrible.
i did my first reading of FA,UW and kaplan.the truth is thinking tis my first reading ,i didnt ay much attention in memorizing the facts.
although i wouldnt grade myself as bad after UW,but there is a huge gap to be bridged.now am scared to take NBME.but if i take it latter on ,it'll be a shock as well. big delima and a bold decision to be made.
yesterday will be completing UW gynec section.
mmmmmmmmm.....what do i do?

its been long since i wrote anything in this diary.but i hate incomplete diaries,so thought of completing this one.
i gave my CK exam on 16th june,just back afater a good vacation.am remembering the qts i did wrong and qts i have no clue about and it definetly terrifies me.
let me start from my experience.after doing kaplan and UW,i did NBME 3 got 420(3 weeks bfr the test),but i doublted the score,i felt it underestimated me and there was one error that appeared like 10 times.anyway,just to boost me up,i took nbme1 after a week and got 600.
until my exam i did FA and revised my notes.
now my exam......from the experiences i had been reading it was clear to me that CK is going to be a huge affair,it should be something suprizing.anf there it was!i never read anyone saying ti was nbme format,but mine was one.Qts were twisted in everyway.i got 3 FHS and uterine contraction graphs,but they were so small i could hardly make out the acceleration and decellerations!there was 1 ekg i had no clue about.psychiatry qts as always were clueless.
over all it was 60%-IM + pedia,15% psychiatry and rest surgery and gynec.
am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that i dont remember any more of the qts i did wrong!
